U MD accepted Spring 2024

Did this happen to anyone else? WHY?

Because they don’t have to report your scores for us news rankings.

Yes -- students can attend in the fall, and live in the dorms, and take classes. Be a freshman just like every other freshman.
But the classes are in the afternoon. Slightly smaller choice of classes.
It's a way to offer admission to students who would otherwise be deferred because of slightly weaker test scores or GPAs.

They can attend in the fall but it's called spring admission?

DD also got spring admission (I wasn't sure she'd even get that, so I think it's great)! And afternoon classes...I mean, my kid would sleep until noon every day given the option, so sounds right up her alley anyway.

My son' letter also says Spring admission

DP. Yes, it is spring admissions but they have the opportunity to sign up (first come first serve) for an on campus option in the Fall called Freshman Connections https://admissions.umd.edu/enroll/admission-decision-faqs/freshmen-connection if they accept the spring admission.

Great stats but I think it was the SAT score. UMD may not want to include in US News stats.

My DS also. GPA 3.4 SAT 1550. 10 APs mostly 3s and 4s.

No merit money for Spring admits.

Why? Personally, I'd rather my child have the option to go at all (should they choose), and I knew that their stats were not an automatic admission for fall.

The other option for the "spring start" (but really fall start) kids isn't denial (UMD needs the tuition), it's acceptance. This is just a shady play by UMD to game the rankings.
