I’m a professor at UMD, a liberal arts department. This is bonkers to me. There is no way that some of the students I have in intro courses could have these high school grades and stats. Some of them can barely write a coherent paragraph. Not even a Spring admit? |

My DD can't get on the site because of an error message! Did the site crash?

DD in at Scholars program and Engineering!!
We could not be happier!! SAT: 1490 ACT: 34 GPA: 3.89 UW Lots of APs, two 5's so far good EC's, club sport (if this matters at UMD??) |
It's very hard to get on right now. Took DD a while to get her letter. |
Sorry. That stinks |
No. I am so upset. I am going to appeal but I realize it will have no impact. I don't know what the issue is. She could have tried test optional, maybe, but what's so wrong with 1400? 720 verbal. This process is a joke. |

Must have been a VERY competitive year.
To those who are disappointed…maybe this happened for a purpose? |
I'm sorry, but a 4.3 is not hard to get in MCPS, if that is the school district. |
Seriously? We are in state and this is what we can afford. |
She's not in MCPS. What's wrong with those grades? |
Wait, what? No! Don't do that! I'm sorry you are upset but really? |
| Accepted to Honors program. 1550, 4.0 unweighted. |
There are other great in state schools in MD. With those stats she could apply to some out of state schools and private schools and get an excellent scholarship. |
Why should I not appeal? |
I am so sorry. My DC was accepted but not that much better stats. 33 ACT, 3.8uw. I’m sorry but how does an in-state applicant with 720 verbal applying to Arts and Sciences not get Freshman Connection?? I would be so pissed too. You pay taxes to Maryland, kid excels in school, over 92%tile test scores. Really sucks. So sorry. |
