@ridingthewave congrats on your sonâs acceptance! My daughter is a BioE in the Honors College. Housing is assigned based on your LLC. My daughter class of 2023 committed on 4/30 but because she was in Honors and in University honors that meant she could only be in one dorm. She was accepted EA to honors and accepted to her LLC (University honors) well before 5/1. However, she was in a triple. Perhaps she might have been in a double had she committed earlier? Her room is huge though and is not in a forced triple. I think your son will be just fine!
Son Accepted.

For those of you wondering about the FIRE program. Here is an article I found. It is a way of getting kids who have not had as much hands on experience a way to get that experience. Fits our profile. I like the idea behind it.

@terpieMOM Thanks for your concern. 
I was in my car driving home from work when the decisions started coming out. I carpool with my wife and was waiting for her to leave her office and I was reading everything on my phone. It was hard to try and see if my S20 was in the directory prior to finding out. I thought I was able to see it but wasnât 100% sure.
I called my D16 who is a Senior at the University of South Florida to let her know about her brother but shortly thereafter we all received a text from my S20 with a copy of the letter.
My wife and I were so elated. 
Looking forward to heading to College Park as a TerpParent very soon!!!
You are motivate, you have tried hard. Your family should not be angry at you. A different college may work out better for you. You can always try to transfer a year later.
Hello! I got into UMD EA and got offered admittance to the Honors College.
My stats are (when I applied):
SAT: 1500
APs: AP Gov - 5, AP US Hist - 5. Have taken 13 college courses(11 As, 2Bs).
GPA: 3.69/4.00 UW
In-State
Major: Computer Science (LEP), now planning to double major with math.
For context, I was accepted at UMBC and Purdue. Wait-listed at UMichigan and Georgia Tech.
Does anyone know when merit scholarship decisions come out and how? Thanks!
So does my daughterâs and another friendâs. Hoping itâs just a typo but following up Monday. Itâs pretty obvious weâre in-state.

DS was accepted directly into Mechanical Engineering Fall 2020 with no Honors College or other offers. That is okay, we are happy he got accepted!

ACT 30
GPA 3.8uw
Lots of leadership and ecâs especially tech/drone. Also music and theatre, so he has two distinct areas of involvement
Rank: 13/324
He was also accepted at Penn State UP Engineering, Delaware Engineering (safety), University of Colorado Boulder (Exploratory Studies). Waiting on Virginia Tech. It will be a tough decision, but with Penn State being our in-state school, it will be really hard to pass it up due to tuition differences. Have to say though, the engineering tour at Maryland blew him away and he walked away loving it! Plus my husband and I are Maryland alumni. But is it worth the extra out of state tuition? Something we will need to look at very hard. He did love Penn State as well, but their engineering tour really doesnât put you in touch with the program like Marylandâs tour does.
Daughter OOS- NJ Accepted FY Engineering wGPA 3.95, uwGPA 3.75 4 APs, ACT 32 Superscored.
D is happy with the acceptance to such a good engineering course but is facing some tough choices as also has acceptances from WPI, Purdue, Rutgers and U of Delaware but still waiting on U Mass at Amherst, Virginia T, RIT and Vanderbilt (reach) - deferred at Case Western Reserve, rejected by Georgia T.
This is a long journey and its going to go to the wire I feel at the end of April! with merit $$ playing a role in her final decision.
