[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We know someone with a 4.0, high SATs, tons of AP, lots of extracurricular and volunteering who didn't get in. Wondering if it's because she picked a popular major (education)? She got into Towson with a full ride (and apparently Towson's education program is now better than UMCP). I just find this fascinating...and depressing.

My oldest is only in 5th grade, but he and his siblings will end up at state schools. DH and I are Terps, so that's where we hope they end up. We know it's ridiculously tough to get in for fall admission, but we know a handful of kids who got in for the spring semester (apparently it's easier since those admission stats don't factor into their reported admission stats). So I guess that's Plan B.[/quote]

Do students applying to UMCP have to declare a major on their application?[/quote]

You don't have to but you can. If not declared, kids are put in Letters and Science (i.e., undecided). Even if you declare, doesn't mean you will get it either. A lot of kids are put in L&S regardless. The LEP (limited enrollment programs) majors are difficult to get in. [/quote]
