Your kid could go to community college for the first semester and then try to get in for second semester.  [/quote]

Pretty sure there is a direct admit program from CC.[/quote]

There is a direct admit from our CC after completion of X number of credits.  
It's the path that my kid is planning on taking.  [/quote]

DS did that and starting at UMD this fall (he is bringing in ~40 credits). It was super easy as he only had to have 3.0 GPA at CC to qualify for guaranteed admission.  He is going to have to pick up his pace as I imagine workload is much heavier at UMD.  He pretty much coasted through his year at CC. I am a little worried, but there aren't many other options in MD and we can only pay in-state.[/quote]

Thanks for sharing. Which CC? Also is it really “direct admit”? What is the application process like to transfer and did you need to tell the CC when you enrolled so they can recommend specific classes?[/quote]

He went to MC and the process was very straightforward. He enrolled in MTAP his first semester. It is a direct admit. He had to fill out transfer application by early action deadline, but it was just a formality. As long as his GPA is 3.0+ and he has 30+ credits and satisfies math/English requirements he is admitted.  Link above has the process outlined. [/quote]

Super helpful- we’ll look into it. Did he take 30 credits in one year? Also wondering how APs factor in. Like do you have to take the general ed classes if you were going to use AP credit?[/quote]
