[quote=Anonymous]UMD claims they don’t consider major in determining acceptance. Once accepted, stats are compared against other applicants to determine if a student is accepted into a limited enrollment major or L&S. However, I’ve always suspected that’s not completely true as most of the high stats applicants we know who weren’t accepted were applying CS, engineering or business. And we know quite a few! Also, I have a tough time believing they won’t jump at an applicant who picks a major that’s underenrolled. Still, officially choosing L&S or an unpopular major isn’t supposed to help.

I have 2 Terps. One was very strong and accepted directly to business. One was borderline and accepted to L&S for freshman connection. We know of a recent freshman connection admit who applied as a reach and didn’t have the stats who got in and some ridiculously strong kids from our HS who were straight out rejected. Like all schools, there are no guarantees. But being OOS should help.  My youngest who is a long shot dreams that he will get lucky and the randomness of admissions gives him hope. Good luck to your child! [/quote]
