My child got in UMD Letters and Science but not in CS directly for fall 2024. Is there a guaranteed admission to CS after a semester?[/quote]
No. It will be extremely difficult.  Look at another school or major [/quote]

They’ll have an academic advisor that can walk them through the requirements needed to apply, like basic coursework. I know of several in the past years that have done so successfully. [/quote]

PP-  yes in the past, however now it will be different.  Please let this family reach out to UMD and gather their information.[/quote]
+1 I posted up thread. They halved the number of admits to CS, and raised the requirements for transfers into CS.

[quote]While we plan to increase the number of freshmen directly admitted to the Computer Science major by 150 slots (from 450 to 600 enrolled freshmen),[b] the number of slots for new external transfers and internal transfers coming from a different UMD major will be reduced to 100 per year (down from 1,000[/b])[/quote]

They have indicated that students who are accept into the L&S but not direct to CS should have a backup major outside of CS.   [b]Data Science[/b] would be a good one. I know a couple of students who have transferred from CS to Data science because those CS classes are no joke.[/quote]

Data science is not a major at college park. It is a specialization within the computer science major. So what are ur talking about when u are referring to data science?[/quote]

Social data science is a major.  Information science is another option. [/quote]
