te]Kids who are Spring admits can join a program called Freshman Connection. That allows students to take freshman classes they would normally take only later in the day with Freshman Connection students.[/quote]
Thank you! My kid is a spring admit. I didn't see the letter and am trying to digest what this means. Your info on Freshman Connection led me to this - https://oes.umd.edu/current-incoming-former-umd-students/freshmen-connection/program-overview

[i]What are the main differences between Freshmen Connection and the regular fall semester?
Freshmen Connection offers a selection of UMD courses that help fulfill undergraduate major and University general education requirements. Courses meet in campus classrooms, 3-9 p.m., Monday-Thursday, and 8 a.m.- 5 p.m. on Fridays. [/i]

My biggest question is what's the goal of this program, what kind of students do it and what classes are offered in the fall? My kid is in a magnet and had 10 APs, so I was assuming would have a lot of credit coming in already. Are these like English 101 classes the kid would already have AP Eng credit for? 
On one hand, you could see some advantages to doing this... the kid could work part-time in the morning and take classes later. But if it's all basic classes the kid would not have to take anyway because of AP, that's different. If anyone has experience with this, please share! [/quote][/quote]
