[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does it mean that UMD may put you in another major although you applied for CS? Any random major?[/quote]

OP here:

My understanding is that you can list a second choice major, and if that major isn't an LEP, they'll put you there.  My question is if you can list a major that is also an LEP.  So, for example, could a kid list CS as first choice, and then list Accounting as second choice?

If your kid doesn't get into either of the majors they listed, or only listed CS and didn't get in, then they get put in Letters and Sciences as an undecided major, and can pick any of the majors that aren't LEP.  Or they can apply again for an LEP, that isn't CS.

Someone with more experience can correct me if I'm wrong about the second part.  [/quote]

Yeah even if you put second major (regardless of LEP or not), they probably don't look at it. It will go straight to arts and science.[/quote]

No, that's not correct. I'm the poster above who heard from admissions that it goes to the next major. If an LEP, and not admitted to that, they won't be considered for arts and science.[/quote]

Have you seen examples of this? I have my DC picked non LEP as second major but ended up in arts and science.
