Last year’s acceptance rate was 34%.


Per the 2021 CDS, (For Fall 21 freshman) it was 52%.

Seems doubtful it would drop so much last year. What is your evidence?

My DC is Md resident with 35 ACT and all As/one B in high school with the most rigorous classes, no weighted GPA because DC private. I am nervous because everything is so unpredictable now, but if DC indies not get in I’m done paying MD taxes lol.

I guess you aren’t the parent of a senior? Lol

Yes. My kid has a 4.0, excellent essays, etc and I don’t consider acceptance a sure thing.


Same here. Nothing is guaranteed.

At our DC private, the college counselors said no one was accepted from our school to UMD last year below a 4.55 WGPA and the previous year no one below a 4.3 WGPA was accepted.

Depends on what you think is hard. It is competitive but not impossible.

Both email and portal. I think my DC saw it in the portal first.

Do they come via email or via a portal? (Or both?)

Does the applicant get an email heads up when their batch is coming up or do they have to just keep logging in at random?

What time did UMD EA come out last year? We have seen schools with 3pm, 5pm and 7pm releases.
