I'm sorry, PP. That seems surprising. What do you think tanked their application?

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.


Its a sure thing. Guaranteed.

Not the PP, but talk me off the ledge.

Is it really a sure thing? My kid in in a magnet with 4.0 unw gpa, high SAT score (does UMD even look at SAT scores now or is it optional?).

Is it really a guarantee? I confess I'm a worry wart, and I'm so nervous for my DC.


I wouldn’t say a sure thing but if they are in state and submitted high SAT scores and have rigorous courses to go along with the 4.0 unweighted and halfway decent ECs and essay - an outright rejection would be rare. At worst, I’ve heard of high weighted GPA, high submitted test scores kids, with ECs and good essay getting spring admissions, not getting their LEP, or not getting into honors/merit which would seem typical for those stats.

Thanks to all PPs. The wgpa is like 4.67 or something like that. I thought the essay was good, but obviously I'm biased. ECs are ok, not spectacular.

I'm worried about the "rare" exception, I guess, but that's what worry warts do, worry about the rare exceptions. LOL I over prepare for everything.

I'll be glad when this is all over. DC did apply to other schools, but even if they only get UMD, I'll be so relieved. I think I'm more worried than my DC is. LOL. Some of my worries are about finances, too.


PP who asked about weighted -- I'm sure it will be good news here. Please report back!

UMBC with merit is awesome.


Yes, congrats! I hear nothing but good things about UMBC.
