[quote=Anonymous]There are a number of different LLC's at UMD. Honors is the most prestigious, then College Park Scholars and others after that. It generally works that admissions offers you a spot in one of them based on your stats etc. Mine was offered an Honors College slot, which was tempting, but he ultimately decided to go elsewhere. He had classmates offered Scholars and some offered nothing. He thought the assignments were a little random, given the large number of high stats kids at his school.

Part of the reason he decided to go elsewhere was that, within Honors College, you also need to apply to a specific LLC but there was no information about odds of getting your first choice, decision timeline etc. It seemed like too much of a risk if he ended up being shut out of the only one he wanted. They really should set it up so that you apply to HC and a specific LLC in the application, so you get a clear decision earlier.

I believe there is one LLC you can apply after acceptance that will take students on a first-come first-serve basis if you make a case for a good fit. I think that is the Carillon Communities, and also two within the engineering LEP.[/quote]
