Did you have to apply separately for honors college/fire?

Last year CDS - looks like it's 0% chance

Number of qualified applicants offered a place on waiting list: 247
Number accepting a place on the waiting list: 0
Number of wait-listed students admitted: 0

this means your kid didn't get in to fall 2027 - this is what is known as Freshman Connection

NP. For those with Spring 2027, that COULD BE Freshmen Connection.

This was my child a few years ago. It would mean you are admitted for the spring semester. You can attend evening classes in the fall and live on campus if you want to, or you can just wait and come in the spring. My child declined but a few of her friends went that route. The cynical take is that these are students UMD wants, but it admits them in the spring so their stats don’t count for UMD rankings.
