Many state flagships want women in stem and will often give full, get those young women to apply!

Md resident.

1560 SATs

3.8UW GPA/4.6W

Submitted day before deadline - Halloween I guess?

Heard the following Thursday, so less than a week.

Can't afford to attend without merit or need based grants, so may be a moot point. Hoping College Park comes through with an acceptance. Wish College Park would do rolling so we didn't feel compelled to take up spots at other schools. Oh well.


It’s university park and they usually will let you know at time of acceptance. Many of the branches will be closing or consolidating, sending you Univ Park


University Park, Pennsylvania is the main campus of Penn State, but the PP was referring to College Park, Maryland, where the main campus of the University of Maryland is located. The PP is wishing that the University of Maryland would do rolling admissions like Penn State does.


And University Park is a neighborhood adjacent to UMD but UMD writes College Park, not University Park.

I said 1320 above. It’s definitely a top contender right now.

Your kid has a good chance, don’t consider it closed off by any means.

What state are you in, and what are they thinking about studying? What are the other options?

There are so many great choices, and a motivated kid can have an awesome experience anywhere.


OOS. High stats. It’s a top choice. Not applying to the Ivies.

At least at my kids' school, I would think your kid stands a great chance assuming the UW is close to a 3.7 and you aren't gunning for Engineering or Business.


Counselor said to apply undecided, with scores. According to scattergram, kids in their range got in but with an alternate campus last year. DC wouldn’t do that
