DC just admitted to UMCP Scholars from Big 3 with 3.6 GPA and 2250 SAT. Waiting to hear from other colleges, but this program looks good.

Was the friend completely rejected or was she offered spring enrollment?

Pretty difficult. My DD was admitted yesterday, with perfect (1600) SAT scores and an UW GPA of 3.6. Her best friend, with a 2120 SAT and UW GPA of 3.4 was rejected.

No way
NP - yes way. UMD mid-50 is slightly higher than UVa as well.

It really depends on what you want to major in.
Some of the STEM majors have become more difficult to get in especially the Honors and Scholars program ones. One of the reasons is that there are many competitive high schools and magnet high schools in the region.
Most kids from these schools and programs, will apply to them and these kids are extremely strong candidates. I think a good strategy would be to apply as early as you can, since most of these kids do that.

Yes , I noticed UMD incoming scores have been going really high. I'm sure 2016 incoming will be through the roof. The Big Ten move seems to have put UMD on a rocket ship and since Md has the richest and most educated population in the country it bodes well for UMD going foreward.

Would like to know about grades and scores needed. Also any insights into getting into the Honors or College Park Scholars program?
