Scholars is a residential program where the kids select a focus and have a seminar once a year and live together. It makes the huge university a little smaller. My DD got accepted but didn't go to UMD. She chose a program with a political science focus, if I remember correctly. Scholars are guaranteed on-campus housing for two years. (Honors college students are guaranteed on-campus housing for four years.) But you can still live on campus after year two, you just have to be lucky enough to find on-campus housing.

I’m so sorry. GPA is incredible. Did you submit the test score? This might be a lesson for this year’s juniors.

Kids who are Spring admits can join a program called Freshman Connection. That allows students to take freshman classes they would normally take only later in the day with Freshman Connection students. Supposedly the classes are smaller than regular classes which is a real advantage. The kids are freshmen like all the other freshmen. They live in the same dorms, participate in the same activities only they attend classes specifically designated for them. Everyone I know who has a kid who did this program thought is was great and provided a wonderful start for their kid at UMD. In the Spring, the kids join the other freshman in their humongo classes. All good!

Accepted.
Honors College, CS, Asian-American Male.
MCPS magnet, 1590 SAT/4.0 u/4.8 w/12 APs

ECs, honors, internship, awards, community service etc were also pretty impressive considering the COVID disruption for 10th and 11th grade.
Not athlete, no hooks, in-state.

This is nuts!!!! I would love to hear UMD's explanation. This is crazy! An outrage! Is your kid in public school?

I think it is very hard to get into Engineering and CS this year because even more high stat kids are applying for these courses.

Many people chose UMD for in-state tuition, but many more are choosing this because they don't want to pay huge tuition for virtual classes. If pandemic continues, I don't want to pay OOS private school prices for virtual classes for my kid.
