Oh, forgot 710 math and 700 ERWB

Major?

Letters and Sciences

Applied undeclared?

I thought everyone who is offered Spring admission is put in letters and sciences, but I am happy to be wrong. Some majors are easier to transfer into than others. My own kid with a 3.9 UW GPA and 1450 SAT was offered spring admission. He wanted computer science so chose to attend elsewhere.

PP, CS, got it. That was what I was trying to determine when I asked about applied field of study.

As has been stated many, many times, UMD admits major blind. Once you are in then you are competitively considered for your major, if it’s an LEP.

So if OP student showed interest in say, elementary education, it would make no difference?

TO (SAT was a 1370)
Weighted 4.7
Significant extracurriculars

Was admitted in the spring but chose to go elsewhere

About 30% of UMD is transfer students, and the acceptance rates are pretty high. You might find these data helpful: https://irpa.umd.edu/CampusCounts/Admissions/apps_ug.pdf

I'm not sure TO is the right approach here.

We were told that UMD does not want to see SAT scores below 1380.

4.2 W and 3.9 UW
TO (SAT was 1320)
Not MoCo though
Has been involved with UMD, which probably helped.

Im curious about this too

I’d ask your school counselor OP.

If your child was admitted as a spring admit to UMDCP, what were their stats? Did they do Freshman Connection, and if so, how was their experience?
