My DD has similar scores. Hoping for the Banneker and Keys scholarship! Fingers crossed!
Me too. Sailing on the same boat.
To help pass the time, here are 2 interesting articles about UMDâs Dr. William Dorland. We met him in 2014, after my D was admitted to the Honors College

Maybe Freshman Connection? Youâre OOS and youâre a little below the median; That doesnât mean you wonât get in though! Good Luck!
Im not an admissions worker so I dont know if you will get in or not, however i would definitely apply other places just in case, i would recommend applying to a couple of safetyâs that you know you will get into, and if you dint get in this year you can go to a saftey then try and transfer in, best of luck!
I never want to dismiss other peopleâs concerns, so I get those who are anxious here. I must say, however, that as per @richrhk OSU was the most brutal process by far!! A few days of being in the dark sure beats 3 months of anxiously refreshing the portal for 6 hours at a time!!
@geniusbrain123 Iâm curious why you didnât apply anywhere else? A safety school in your home state? Your high school guidance counselor should have highly recommended that to you.
I have read on other threads about kids only applying to one school. Schools do reject kids and they canât take everyone.
I apologize if all this sounds too negative. My own daughter applied to several schools. Accepted at 1(not her top choice at all but itâs a yes so Iâll take it) deferred by 4 which we are prepared for those to turn in a rejection.
@Pelorider My DD still waiting for an EA decision by OSU. Tomorrow should be the dayâŠ
But I find my home state school(UConn) is the worst when it comes to releasing decisions. They donât start until March 1. So regardless if she gets in OSU or UMD tomorrow she still needs to wait until March before we decide if itâs worth going out of state or not.
If youâre nervous about only applying to one school, there are a lot of schools that have 2/1 application deadline. Perhaps you can still pick a safety school to get one more application in by midnight to ease your nerves?
FYIâŠbe careful in taking some of these posts seriouslyâŠespecially if they only have 1 or 2 repliesâŠthere are fake postsâŠpeople on this thread are so nice & are responding accordingly but again, be carefulâŠ
@geniusbrain123 I think your participation in JV swim may put you in, as itâs an holistic approach decision⊠quite impressive.
20 min!!
20 min until you realize you have to wait another 24 hours
Did anyone just get the" Yes, you CAN afford college!" random email from MyCoalition and practically have a heart attack?! ?
@carrottopcurls2 Yes! Nearly fell out of my chair
I honestly donât think itâll be today but man I wish it was
@Pelorider âŠi agree totally!!! OSU was BRUTAL, esp since they started releasing back in December (or was it Nov?) My son FINALLY got his OSU decision last FridayâŠevery single Friday for months we were glued to the computer. At least this is only a week of hell waiting⊠
See everyone tomorrow!
well now that we know decisions are tomorrow i want to wish everyone luck and that we all made it to the big day 
we got played so hard. doesnât make any sense for them to wait till the last day when other colleges released DAYS before the deadline. see you tomorrow Maryland!
