@ImStillDre: Your family loves you and you are going placesâŠthey are proud of you! The fact that you are so focused that youâre on this forum speaks volumes about you. Keep moving forward & keep achieving!
Admitted! 3.95 gpa and a 1520 SAT.
OOS son accepted to Smith Business, Honors.
Some questionsâŠ
Does Honors come with merit aid? And whatâs the difference between honors and scholars?
Also, if you are in honors do you have to live in living and learning?
Congrats to all of you authorized payers!!! 
D20 admitted OOS scholars program. This forum has been fun 
Has anyone else still not gotten a decision??
Does anyone know if thereâs a Facebook group for accepted students yet?
TO THOSE THAT HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSEâŠit likely means your application is not complete (as thus you did not qualify for EA). I know your Coalition page may indicate itâs complete, but unfortunately it may not be complete in Marylandâs view. Ran into this issue a couple of years ago with my son, whoâs application said complete but he never received a response. He found out the following Monday when he called the office that a transcript was missing even though his coalition page said COMPLETE. Maryland basically said tough luck, itâs your responsibility to make sure everything is in and weâre not responsible for marking it complete, so now you need to wait 3 more months for your decisionâŠ
If you scroll down to Living Learning Communities on this FAQ it (sort of) explains the difference between Honors and College Park Scholars: https://admissions.umd.edu/enroll/freshman-admission-decision-faqs
It sounds like Honors has a more academic focus and is more competitive to get into, but Scholars sounds great, too.
The same FAQ (under merit and financial aide) says that they notify about merit scholarships by March 1st. https://admissions.umd.edu/enroll/freshman-admission-decision-faqs
Actually, it answers lots of questions people have asked: why wasnât I accepted into my requested major? whatâs the deal with spring admittance. etc. Check it out.

did scholarships come out
Got into UMD, my LEP (Business), and scholars!!
Everything has a received date before feb 1, wow, not even given a fair chance.
Not getting accepted does not reflect on you as a person or student. Donât be discouraged as everything works out in the end.
Sometimes the difference between someone who gets in or not is pure luck. There are plenty of kids on CC who have great stats yet do not get the offers they desire.
I hope you and your family get past the initial disappointment and focus on the wins! You must have worked hard in HS and did well to even apply to UMD.
Good luck to you.
@ImStillDre Iâm sorry that you are concerned about how your family will react. UMDCP is a hard admit. My son was rejected and we kind of expected it. He was accepted at UMBC though. Have you applied to other MD state schools?
got accepted for spring semester as a psychology major!
1150 sat, 3.34 weighted gpa, 1 ap and several honors classes, done band all 4 years as well as community service. honestly so shocked that i got in at all but still grateful.
@ncwj45 - FC is first come-first serve and I believe that enrollment begins March 1
someone let me know if a Facebook page is made for class of 2024
Links for Honors and Scholars preferences will appear on the portal soon, but it may take a day or so for the links to work
Scholarships will come out in a week or 2
