[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Major is important for UMD.  For example For CS and engineering, SAT scores are factored into admissions plus EC and essay. Check reddit, some students didn't get in with above 1500.  Ensure you do your research well.  Per admission officer, average SAT is1510 to CS and engineering.  Ensure you have UMBC as a backup.  Plus they have over 50% OOS kid. If in state tuition is important.  CS and engineering are also limited enrollment.[/quote]

I get that. I was referring to the school in general, not an major or LEP, since they let you in school before deciding on if got in major.[/quote]

as i mentioned - for LEP, major matters. Take CS for example - if you didn't get CS, you will probably not getting in the uni. I have seen this with my kids friends, someone with higher gpa/sat combo didn't get in to CS and the school but others with lower get in to the school.

i think for overall school, not LEP you should submit.[/quote]

This isn’t true, you can get in and pick another major.  They stack you against students in your high school so if you are at a high achieving high school and mid pack it’s going to be a struggle to get in vs at a lower rated school and being one of the high achievers. [/quote]

I know that's what the AO said -  but I have seen few cases, students from same high school - the higher gpa and higher rigor ones go for CS and the other one goes for undecided (arts and science). The CS ones got in as spring admit and the other one regular fall admit. There are others who didn't get into the school at all (applied as CS). Same high school.
