Do you think it’s possible if they were misclassified as out of state, that they should have made honors college if in state? (Wishful thinking?)

State residents do deserve acceptance. There is no rhyme or reason to UMD acceptances.

UMD can't accept every single applicant from MD.

Also, as they say, "it's not the university of montgomery county", if that's where you're from.

UMD is hard to get into now, and they don't care about legacy.

OOS needs to be capped. . Similar to UNC - Chapel Hill. Terrible.

Oos is capped at umd. They have usually 4500 fall freshman. There’s only so much room unfortunately.

Most of MD’s population is in central MD. This is the most logical place for the majority of local kids who aren’t wealthy to want to end up. Maybe if UMBC and TU offered more majors, more local kids would want to attend.

I hate feeling like my family got lucky when I know my kids worked so hard the past 4 years or longer, but I do feel like at least six just as deserving seniors I know are left shell-shocked tonight.

UMD is a tough admit.

Nothing is guaranteed. Many kids have the academics and ECs to warrant admission.

Thank you! That is a very kind response and thought. Maybe DC should look into it?

Not a big deal. They have to pick a track. They change the tracks every 2 years or something. This year's track 2024 is new.

My DC is going to drop out of honors; they think it's a waste of time because they are going to double major, and the extra honors classes will slow them down.

But they got great housing freshman year.

I disagree. My DD is finishing the honors program. Great cohort and experience. And she is doing double major. So it’s doable.

Merit is weird for in state honors engineering and CS. My business terps was a 1/2 BK my engineering child has higher grades and similar test scores and got nothing.

Absolutely.

How did they manage to let a typo like this through They must be confusing so many applicants receiving those admissions letters saying spring 2026!

+1 and we’ve never heard of it.

UMD has a number of LLPs. Honors (6-7 programs within), FIRE. Carillon etc. All on their website.

If you got accepted to FIRE or Carillion does that mean you didn’t get accepted to the Honors College?

yes... Honors College > Scholars Program > Carillon Scholars > admitted > freshman connection/spring enrollment

Thank you. We’re a bit bummed DD didn’t get Honors College as she was accepted into that everywhere else she applied. DS didn’t want it so he’s just happy he got in period.

Alum here and I would say Honors wasn't all that it's cracked up to be. Of course it's nice to have on the resume but will not affect her UMD experience by much if she is a high achiever still. DD will make friends in her dorm and major too.

^- this! University honors doesn’t even make sense and they keep changing it.

How do you get into Honors College? Is it something that should have been requested with the application or are selected admits offered HC?

Is it possible not to get an answer today? Nothing in the portal.

Everyone’s automatically considered for honors and all of the other LLPs if they apply EA. No separate application.

DD accepted in Carillon. Woo hoo and whew!

Congratulations! Think merit comes out later

Good to know. We are OOS hoping getting some merit to bring cost down.

Maryland doesn’t give merit to oos applicants.

not true - it maybe easier to get merit as OOS from what i see.. the amount is not going to be much but seems easier

Exactly. Other than BK, think the max annual is 12.5k. My kid gets 10. COA is ~44k

How many freshman admits get the full BK? What's the criterion for the award?
