Wrong thread or troll.
Why do you think this is a troll?
I think PP was thinking no one can turn down a full ride and anyone who claims so must be a troll. In reality, only 1/2 of BK get full rides. The other 1/2 - while they are still B/K scholars - the offer is not that great. Many kids turn down 1/2 B/K to attend other schools (a few even turn down full BK to attend Ivy league).

So, whoever is hoping that their DC has been selected, please check your portal. You can click on the UMD checklist. I made the mistake of checking the general Coalition checklist first, but that's a different thing. On the UMD checklist, B/K invitation is between "Personal Information" and "The Honors College." My DD has not received an email, but the B/K invitation is hidden in the bowels of the Coalition App. Great surprise!

It's a UMD thing, equivalent to UVA's Jefferson Scholars.
Thank you for the explanation. I had no idea.

It’s on reddit. They are out unless they notify in small batches, which I doubt since it’s already a small number. Some posters say they got handwritten notes from admissions in mail.
