University of Maryland (UMD) (2024-2025)

[visual quest]

esp the last one

[carmine citrus]

I think I wrote one sentence for one of them

And I used exclamation marks

[visual quest]

💀

[atomic bloom]

oh alr

[open smelt]

same bruh

actually not surprised

[lime jay]

Sometimes you can appeal

[past sierra]

What do I even say

[lime jay]

Look up if umd has an appeal process

Idk if they do

[odd oxide]

wait are my essays cooked if i got full rejected with a 1550

[cursive folio]

prob

some part of ur app gotta be cooked

atleast

[lost coral]

what is the CS acceptance rate?

[carmine citrus]

4% in 2023

Wait that’s for grad

It’s def lower than 35%

[carmine citrus]

Did u send weighted or unweighted?

[odd oxide]

i mean i had a 2.3 gpa freshman year, but i thought it would be cancelled out by my 4.8 junior year

[odd oxide]

weighted

3.8

[cursive folio]

any circumstances?

[uneven dune]

when do umd scholarships come out

[carmine citrus]

Ya it could be ur goa

[odd oxide]

not really

[carmine citrus]

March 1st but ur guaranteed a response by April 1

https://admissions.umd.edu/persona/appeal-requests

this is for appealing

[odd oxide]

i wrote my common app essay about how I was completely unconfirdent that I could succeed in school

and how i overcame it

mostly about how i overcame it

[marble quartz]

I think my gpa hard carried a bit

Gpa and class rigor

[cursive folio]

dats goo

u submitted all ur RDs

now just chill

nothing u can change anyway

[odd oxide]

true

well

ima appeal

but

yeah

i should prob just chill

[flint bluff]

BRO WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO???

yall walk me through that rejection process this gyatta be a joke

idk

like community college aint an option

bc im alr graduating 💀

[coarse rapids]

fuck umd

[finite root]

UMD rejected 6 of my friends :/ all instate

[coarse rapids]

bro nobodys getting in

[thorn shore]

Okay that’s fair

I have OSU in state

[plain verge]

Does anyone know about umd cs intl acceptance rates? I’m reading very very mixed infos

[thorn shore]

I’ll have to tour UMD I guess

[finite root]

10%

[undone tangle]

Woah

[plain verge]

Hmm okay thx

[cursive folio]

ion think its that low

[undone tangle]

Yeah

[cursive folio]

more like 40

i think

[undone tangle]

No chance

[cursive folio]

I mean look at this

bruh

[undone tangle]

It’s at most low 30s

[finite root]

from last years cycle

[plain verge]

Eh then I’m less proud😂

[undone tangle]

Nah this is the university’s AR

[plain verge]

I though cs is lower

[undone tangle]

Cs intl is way lower

[undone tangle]

It is

[finite root]

umd is t10 cs?

[cursive folio]

i got cs only

but

idk

i doubt

[undone tangle]

Cs is much less AR than other majors

[cursive folio]

server had 90% get in by EA, i havent seen that for any other school

but we dont have any official stats

im just estimating

[carmine citrus]

Def not its 20-35

[flint bluff]

bro im coping

[autumn walrus]

FUCK UMD

[upbeat pilot]

denied

[mental shore]

Maryland said they can’t admit me to fall but they can spring

Never seen something like this before lol

Oos cs

[flint bluff]

freshman connection u can go in the fall

same thing happened to my sis

[mental shore]

Ah interesting

Oki!

[coarse rapids]

fr

uiuc better

[buoyant sonnet]

Selection bias is a lot for this server remember that

[coarse rapids]

umd some cheeks

[autumn walrus]

FUCK UIUC

[coarse rapids]

wtf is a terrapin though

[thorn shore]

Fuck UIUC

UMD on top

[thorn shore]

Okay but what is an Illini

[finite root]

@thorn shore congrats on aerospace brother

[wicked jay]

what do yall think the acceptance rate was for CS this year?

[finite root]

are u instate btw

[thorn shore]

Nope

OOS

[coarse rapids]

a ranked team in basketball

[thorn shore]

Idk how I got in

[finite root]

i love aerospace soo much lol

do u have a passion in aviation or smth similar

[thorn shore]

Space

I always liked space

So I decided aerospace engineering

And I like engineering a ton

I’d be okay to do any engineering tbh but aerospace is my fav

[finite root]

aerospace industry uses basically every engineering discipline ngl

but its good to specialize

[thorn shore]

Yeah my top two are aerospace and then electrical

More than happy to do either

[magic junco]

if you get into letters and science can you still declare limited enrollment programs once ur there?

[north seal]

got in wooooo

rlly late ik

[prime aurora]

Accepted to northeastern but denied from this 💀💀💀

[green lintel]

Opposite here lol

Colleges look for different things

I had fun doing umds supps

[prime aurora]

Damn I would lowk rather go to umd 😭😭

[green lintel]

tbh I don’t even think I would choose UMD over my 2nd tier state flag if I everything stays the same

[west moss]

The tension is high

[mental shore]

The hell 💀

[old oasis]

guys do you know if a lot of ppl gor accepted ot rejected from umd?

hows it looking like?

[west moss]

It’s a toss up from what I know

A lot more rejections

Unexpectedly

[past sierra]

This is awful for my self confidence

[left egret]

I mean, the A2C server has probably quite skewed results, so I would advise against beating yourself up about it.

[past sierra]

Irrespective of the A2C, getting rejected from UMD is bad enough already for me

[left egret]

Yeah . . . Getting rejected is really rough. I'm hoping that all of your other colleges work out in your favour!

[past sierra]

I appreciate the positivity

[umbral stone]

Did anyone else get Spring 2026 admissions?

[green lintel]

Hi yeah

[brazen plaza]

i mean

tuff shit on the rejection

but

with that attitude towards umd

if even a fraction of that showed up in ur essays

i wouldnt accept u either

like i got in and im soo greatful❤️

[umbral stone]

What does that even mean??

[brazen plaza]

they're saying they got the spring 2026 admission asw

[past sierra]

I’m glad to hear you are happy about your acceptance, congratulations. I am not talking of the quality or acceptance rate of the school when I placed the italicization, I am talking of a circumstance of mine which has implied I would be acceptance. Just wanted to clear that up.

[marble quartz]

This is definitely valid

Mostly as someone in state

[turbid aurora]

Bro I got rejected IN STATE

[past sierra]

Thank you. I’ve already expressed my dismay enough. I just wanted to make it clear when I was emphasized UMD I wasn’t tryna dog on anyone’s results/opinion of the school

[finite root]

ur absolutely fine to feel the way u do, maryland students bank on a UMD acceptance

some of my friends the only school they applied to was umd...

[past sierra]

It just makes me feel like I have no more direction. 70% of my list has an AR well above UMD, and now I am pretty certain all of the time and money I wasted on those schools appears much much less likely to yield a positive result from them.

[wheat edge]

is anyone writing an appeal

[past sierra]

It sounds like they only accept academic good news and I don’t have anything academic So probably not

[wheat edge]

does hat mean like grades for sem 1 this year?

cus idk what new compelling information to use

[past sierra]

I… guess so?

[wheat edge]

r u instate?

[heavy quest]

i got in UMD

[wheat edge]

nice

[heavy quest]

OOS with TO

[wheat edge]

whats TO

[heavy quest]

test optional

[wheat edge]

oh

yeah i went test optional too

what was ur gpa?

[brazen plaza]

"circumstance of mine which has implied I would be acceptance"
wdym by that

[heavy quest]

im intl so

i dont have 4.0 scale

if i were to tell it'd be somewhere at 3.8

[wheat edge]

ohh

[heavy quest]

college park really top 10?

[thorn shore]

For what?

CS??

Yes

[brazen plaza]

and sm ppl in this thread rlly hating on it js cus its instate for them😭

above fuking stanford for cs dawg🤷

[placid grove]

What website is that

[heavy quest]

csrankings

[strong solstice]

guys is UMD worth oos tuition?

for engineering

[heavy quest]

yeah i guess

im gonna try for scholarships

[strong solstice]

u can't try for scholarships

[heavy quest]

why not

[strong solstice]

because you don't have to do anything extra

to my knowledge

they will automatically consider you for scholarships

[placid grove]

Are u able to see your financial aid yet or

[heavy quest]

when do those come

[strong solstice]

im not sure as well

if you guys hear about it, be sure to let us know

[past sierra]

I will have a community college degree by the time I graduate high school. For UMD, that is typically considered auto admit by what I’ve heard.

[carmine citrus]

R u doing aerospace?

[strong solstice]

no why?

[carmine citrus]

Aerospace engineering is really good because it’s literally a block a way from NASA Goddard

And they scout students there

What eng r u doing

[strong solstice]

eee

[carmine citrus]

Even outside of aero they come to scout

[heavy quest]

no

[strong solstice]

is that good for umd

[carmine citrus]

Is that environmental

[strong solstice]

electrical

[carmine citrus]

Electrical

Ohhh

Ya

That’s r of their strong suit

But the program is still rlly good

[placid grove]

They're good for chem Eng right

[strong solstice]

what do you think about texas a&m vs umd ee both oos tuition

[carmine citrus]

If u have better options I reckon u don’t

[placid grove]

I got admitted for that

[carmine citrus]

Yesss that what’s I’m doing

[placid grove]

Omggg 🔥🔥

[carmine citrus]

I think they are 35 or 37 if u care ab ranks

[carmine citrus]

I’m applying tamu too Ayyy

Tamu is the engineering school

[strong solstice]

i thought it already came out

[carmine citrus]

They’re goated

[strong solstice]

nicee

what about umd vs tamu

[carmine citrus]

Na bro I applied rd 😭😭

[strong solstice]

where would you go personally

[abstract umbra]

for both

[strong solstice]

yes i am

[carmine citrus]

I’m instate umd and I still would rather go tamu

[abstract umbra]

a&m has a good ee

[heavy quest]

what about

[strong solstice]

damnn bro thats good u think tamu is?

[heavy quest]

COmputer Enginerring

[abstract umbra]

top 10 general engineering school

[carmine citrus]

Tamu has really great opportunities for engineering

For me it’s bc of the petroleum in Texas

[jovial fox]

i got in but not for cs and spring semester 😭

double whammy

[abstract umbra]

horns down

[carmine citrus]

Umd is good

[strong solstice]

im ngl if i lived in maryland, i would 100% go umd

ur very fortunate to have umd

in ur state

[heavy quest]

Yuh top 10 burh

[carmine citrus]

Yaa lowkey if I wasn’t instate no shot I would get in

[abstract umbra]

i had ut 🤣

[finite root]

u moco kids think ur better than hoco 😠

jkjk

[carmine citrus]

😭😭😭

[heavy quest]

like is the community at UMD good

[carmine citrus]

Yes

[heavy quest]

similar to that of Umich

[carmine citrus]

Goated but

[strong solstice]

i got rejected from uiuc, purdue, and georgia tech though

[abstract umbra]

really good

[carmine citrus]

I hate that I’ll know half the school and I’m not even exaggerating

[sour gazelle]

Anyone here go to UMD?

[carmine citrus]

Same with uiuc 💔💔

[abstract umbra]

but a&m is much better

[abstract umbra]

i do

[strong solstice]

🤝

[carmine citrus]

I live closebt

[thorn shore]

I got in here but rejected ga tech, and deferred both UIUC and Purdue

[carmine citrus]

Would u say prince frederick or chen is the best dorm

[abstract umbra]

p freddy

[strong solstice]

thats even better you'll already have established a lot of connections

[carmine citrus]

Unwanted ones 😭😭

[strong solstice]

did you apply to gtech and purdue as well?

[jovial fox]

is it easy to go from letters and science to computer engineering?

[carmine citrus]

Nope

[sour gazelle]

This is a little specific so it’s fine if you don’t know but I applied for engineering but got into letters and sciences + FIRE. How is the internal transfer scene? Is it worth it to attend and try to transfer into engineering?

[strong solstice]

arent those like legendary for engineering

[carmine citrus]

Rn I’m only waiting for Delaware, Virginia tech, tamu

[carmine citrus]

My sat score was horrid

[strong solstice]

what is it

[carmine citrus]

1130

💀

[strong solstice]

thats alr

u got into umd

[carmine citrus]

Test opt goat🫡🫡

[abstract umbra]

engineering is p easy to transfer into

the only major i would say there is no hope to transfer is cs

every other llp u can transfer

[sour gazelle]

Even mechanical?

[heavy quest]

UMD is better than Stanford?! 😭

[abstract umbra]

ye

[abstract umbra]

in some areas yes

[carmine citrus]

https://tenor.com/view/maryland-football-college-football-umd-gif-22950799

[heavy quest]

thats wild

[green lintel]

DJ Moore my gone but not forgotten king

[carmine citrus]

Umd has fire Greek restaurant near and chickfila blue thing which is making me lean towards accepting

[sour gazelle]

Do you know anybody that did?

[carmine citrus]

https://tenor.com/view/kid-kids-dance-dancing-smooth-gif-22007734

[abstract umbra]

my roommate

transferred into aero

[thorn shore]

wait tf dj moore went to maryland??

[abstract umbra]

which is harder

[carmine citrus]

Off bro GO TERPS

Ofc

[thorn shore]

you learn something new every day

[sour gazelle]

Could I possibly speak to him? I really like UMD but I also really only want to do engineering and I’m a little confused

[thorn shore]

congrats on getting into UMD btw! maybe ill see yall on campus

depends on how much money i really want to spedn

[abstract umbra]

he doensnt have discord lol

but he got in out of state for freshman connection

[green lintel]

Yeppp he’s the most notable Panthers guy who went there iirc

[jovial fox]

i got in for Spring semester

[sour gazelle]

What’s freshman connection?

[jovial fox]

i got in freshman connection as well

is it worth?

[abstract umbra]

getting in as a spring admit

[jovial fox]

cus i dont want to major late 😭

[abstract umbra]

but u still stay on campus in the fall

to take some classes that will help u matriculate

into the school u want to go to

[sour gazelle]

I see I see

[jovial fox]

ik the requirmements to get into CS is hard but what abt CE?

[abstract umbra]

https://eng.umd.edu/transfer/internal

read htis

ce program is rlly good here btw

[sour gazelle]

Thanks I’ll check it out

[green lintel]

Any of you current guys have info on info sci school?

[sour gazelle]

You think I can bank on a transfer into engineering tho? Like would it be worth committing in hopes of a transfer

[jovial fox]

^

wondering that as well

[sour gazelle]

@jovial fox did you also get into the FIRE program?

[mental shore]

How hard is the Oos admissions this year

Especially for cs

[jovial fox]

whats that?

[sour gazelle]

It’s some first year research thing

[strong solstice]

lmao every year, college admissions are getting more competitive
idk if it's gonna drop off next year
every year, top colleges say "RECORD NUMBER OF APPLICANTS"

[jovial fox]

no prob not

i got in spring semester as well

AND i want to switch into engineering 😭

like thats prob the worst combo

[green lintel]

Riddle you this, how many of those “record amount” are actually qualified

[jovial fox]

many

3.9s and 1500s are not that uncommon

[mental shore]

Yeah that’s it true

[strong solstice]

im going by logic if there are more applicants, then there are more qualified applicants than last year as well

ratio might be the same

[jovial fox]

WELL THATS A LIL SCARY 😭

[green lintel]

Maybe… but also just something to keep in mind at top colleges academic qualification doesn’t equal what colleges are looking for as well

Well I mean it’s an entryway but not make or break

[strong solstice]

every year there's gonna be more people with through the roof academic qualifications 1550+ sat 35+ act cracked ec

im referring to the strength of the application in general

im not sure if its gonna fall off next year though

if going by birth rate

it peaked this year

[abstract umbra]

no its only getting better

like we are getting new facilities next year for engineering

[flint bluff]

coping rn

[abstract umbra]

mayb in a decade its gonna be a t10 eng school who knows

[flint bluff]

i should have NOT applied for CS 😭😭 i should’ve applied info sci

[jovial fox]

same

im trying to figure out if i want to transfer to CE or info sci

i cant figure out if it hard to transfer to those tho like it is for CS

[heavy quest]

are you committed to umd?

[heavy quest]

yo i got no scholarships

[thorn shore]

same

were they supposed to release with decisions?

[heavy quest]

i guess so

[coarse rapids]

bro 12% rejected is crazy

[thorn shore]

prob all cs

[jovial fox]

where does it say that

[coarse rapids]

poll

[silver flint]

yeah wtf tbh everyone i know said they got in

[green lintel]

I did info sci cause it seemed the closest to data sci/stats and you learn comp sci

[flint bluff]

yeah i should’ve done that first choice

[coarse rapids]

bro what

i thought i had good stats and got rejected

[flint bluff]

i feel like they don’t look at second majors for cs bc i could’ve TRANSFERRED as info sci and be halfway done

[finite root]

are u into cs

[silver flint]

yeah im not sure a lot of my friends have mid tier graded

like 3.7

3.6

[coarse rapids]

bro i have 4.0 with 34 act

[flint bluff]

I APPLIED CS (big mistake) INFO SCI SECOND AND I GOT REJECTED

[finite root]

no i mean do you like computer science

[coarse rapids]

ion want to go to college park anyway

[silver flint]

yeah thats crazy i got in w 3.7 1490

[jovial fox]

i got in with a 3.66 and a 1480

[coarse rapids]

wtf

[jovial fox]

i had like 17 Bs and B+'s

but not for cs

[coarse rapids]

i had no bs

[jovial fox]

ok maybe not 17

like 14

[coarse rapids]

my essays mustve been some cheeks

[green lintel]

3.85 and 33 for info sci (granted it was spring sem)

[thorn shore]

the essays were weird

[sour gazelle]

My UMD essays were my best

[thorn shore]

where are you into so far?

[coarse rapids]

i thought they were my best too

im so cooked

[jovial fox]

same with spring sem

r u going to do spring sem?

[coarse rapids]

uiuc and pitt

[jovial fox]

oh

u got uiuc

[sour gazelle]

What major did you apply?

[jovial fox]

ur chilling what major

[coarse rapids]

engineer 😭

undecided

[jovial fox]

go to uiuc dude

thats better

[sour gazelle]

I was mechanical

[coarse rapids]

yeah but so far

[thorn shore]

Oh you’re chill UIUC

[green lintel]

I would probably go to my 2nd tier state flag just for costs

[thorn shore]

I got deferred UIUC but in here

[sour gazelle]

If you got UIUC Eng you’re big chilling

[jovial fox]

true true

[coarse rapids]

crazy bro what

[carmine citrus]

Most likely but I’m waiting for vtech and tamu

[coarse rapids]

uiuc has a insane eng school tho

[humble badge]

is purdue engineering more competitive than umd eng

[heavy quest]

wdym

[carmine citrus]

No march they will

[jovial fox]

yea dude u got UIUC engineering ur legit set 😭

[coarse rapids]

poll

[jovial fox]

u have nothing to worry about

[heavy quest]

i like UW better idk why

[coarse rapids]

yeah just so far

[green lintel]

Also 1440P is the best ngl, you can buy quality 1440P monitors for what a 1080 would’ve been like 2 years ago

[coarse rapids]

im in state for md

[heavy quest]

wher

[coarse rapids]

pin

[thorn shore]

Okay I guess tuition in fair

[jovial fox]

ik but i legit cant see any difference and i paid extra for 1440p so im like kinda salty 😭

[heavy quest]

89% accepted is crazy

[coarse rapids]

im bouta go to admissions office tomorrow

[green lintel]

Bro I went from 60 fps 1080P to a lower end 1440P 170 and the difference is so fucking nice

[jovial fox]

oh nice

i went from 60 to 165

but yea it was legit life changing 😭

[green lintel]

Everything just looks better 😮‍💨

[jovial fox]

i set all my graphics to max as well

cus why not

[finite root]

60 to 165 is like getting new eyes

[silver flint]

i thought umd oos cs was impossible

[green lintel]

On a budget 1080P is king but past like 750$ for total PC man 1440P or bust unless you play competitive games

[jovial fox]

FR

[green lintel]

Actually nowhere as bad as some of its similar end cs flags

UW, GT definitely catch the flak for that

also I will say that EA CS is aight, but RD CS is absolute terror

[silver flint]

dude yeah i saw someone say oos cs is like 5%

[green lintel]

I think RD plays a really big role in that overall percent

Someone can fact check me but I think last year like 95%+= CS admits were EA

[silver flint]

ah

i lowkey need some money to go

Too expensive

[green lintel]

If I don't get into any of my defers in RD, it'll be like 100K + tier 2 State flag vs UMD who is much more superior in the field... 240K for UMD is kinda insane anyways

[old oasis]

akop is u armenian

[thorn shore]

No

[old oasis]

mb

[open smelt]

how’s the vibe here

Did most people get in

Well not most but how many got in

[green lintel]

poll says we did awesome

[open smelt]

great :)

[fluid cradle]

did they put honors program into acceptance letter guys?

[silver flint]

yeah

[fluid cradle]

i didn't get into honors then

[silver flint]

i didnt even know if i applied honors or not

[fluid cradle]

i think it was in common app, if i remembered correctky

[silver flint]

did u need extra essay

cus no way i didnt check it if it didnt

[fluid cradle]

i think we did

[silver flint]

ok i didnt write one den

[fluid cradle]

lemme check

[fluid cradle]

ill tell u if i see it on ca

[fluid cradle]

bro its not in ca

i may have not applied 💀

[marble quartz]

For CS yea

[green lintel]

Submit a complete undergraduate application by the early action deadline of November 1. All who apply by this date will automatically be considered for invitation to the Honors College and for merit scholarships.

[strong solstice]

what is the tier 2 state flag

[marble quartz]

CS at UMD is great, hopefully I’ll be able to enjoy psychology, I’m not too sure on how it is at UMD

[green lintel]

UNC CLT

[strong solstice]

which major

[green lintel]

Data Sci

[strong solstice]

have u considerd ncsu

i heard thats a good one as well

[fluid cradle]

oh ok, so i just didn't get in. thanks!

[green lintel]

If I don't get into any of my defers

[strong solstice]

bruh what

theres no way u got deferred at ncsu and accepted at unc

[green lintel]

NCSU deferred me just like a lot of my friends

😭

[strong solstice]

i would assume unc is more selective bruh

[green lintel]

I got WL at UNC

huh

[fluid cradle]

im in state i got in, a lot of in states also got deferred (a lot of my friends got deferred)

[strong solstice]

oh

i misunderstood

i thought u already got accepted to unc

[green lintel]

sorry for the confusion lol CLT = charlotte and it is the tier 2 state school in our state

[strong solstice]

ahhh

[green lintel]

well Appalachian too

[strong solstice]

yeah i was bouta say unc acceptance rate is 17 and ncsu is around 40

[green lintel]

I know a lot of UNC Accepts and NCSU defer combos

same as UNC WL and NCSU Defer which is what I got

[strong solstice]

what are ur stats

[green lintel]

3.85, 4.45 33

[strong solstice]

i also applied to ncsu btw

[strong solstice]

thats pretty good man

im surprised u got deferred at ncsu with those

should have been accepted

[green lintel]

dw lol they did this same thing last year too

[strong solstice]

bc those are like almost very close to my stats except i did sat and i got accepted

oos though

[green lintel]

(but I think it's quite annoying that I have pretty good stats and can't make it off rip into either unc/ncsu and have to settle for CLT, no disprespect to charlotte)

[green lintel]

State is really really good about getting in their qualified OOS /INTL applicants early

[strong solstice]

yeah thats scary
the competition must be tough

i dont think i will go to ncsu oos

but if you get in instate

its a good deal

[green lintel]

yeah really good school but for OOS costs there a few schools I would place higher like UMD CS

[strong solstice]

is ur plan to go into data science and then pivot to cs

or possibly transfer

[green lintel]

It is technically top 15 in my major so I would be psyched

[green lintel]

Nah I like working with Data, that was the intent there... not the hugest fan with CE and CS

[fallow mica]

no extra essay for honors college

[jovial fox]

is honors even worth it

it just seems like extra classes

which u have to pay tution money for and time

[lucid field]

hey

anyone know what the FIRE program is

[left egret]

Supposedly it's a program where you get access to research opportunities, but that's just what I've been hearing-

https://www.fire.umd.edu/

[lucid field]

oh damn

its only a first year thing

tho

rip

[odd oxide]

if i have better ECs

but shit 1st semester grades

can I appeal?

[marble quartz]

Maybe? Ig it’s worth a shot

What do you have to lose anyway

[odd oxide]

true

[tired edge]

i thought

umd didnt do appealing

[flint bluff]

i’m still coping

[flint bluff]

they do

[tired edge]

bruh

i asked u if they did

[flint bluff]

cuh im cooked

[tired edge]

and u said no 💀

[flint bluff]

THWY DO I FOUND THE FORM

[tired edge]

LMFAO

[flint bluff]

they hid it

[tired edge]

And deferred Purdue

So idk broo

Im losing hope

I only have insane reached left

[void mulch]

wait

twin

sam

i didnt apply uva tho

[thorn shore]

Purdue could hit

They did defer a ton

And accept less

They might need to accept more now

[void mulch]

delusionstwins fr

sadly

idt this happening

purdue needs to makeup for their mistake from last year

housing crisis

[thorn shore]

True

[void mulch]

they prolly will admit

but not a lot

[thorn shore]

I’m hoping on uiuc rd now

[void mulch]

very few

im hopinh

on ucs u dub and vtech

or im js fucked

[rose peak]

Oh

[rose peak]

I pray this is true 🙏🙏

[rose peak]

Yeah that's what I heard as well

[void mulch]

i crashed out so hard in school lowk

😭

[rose peak]

Aww

[void mulch]

LOL

i was boutta throw a chair at a dude

[rose peak]

Dw, if you don't get in anywhere else, you'll be a big fish in a small pond

[rose peak]

Oh god

[void mulch]

#almostgotsentotjail

[rose peak]

I haven't written my loci for Purdue cuz I thought that if I got accepted into UMD, I wouldn't need Purdue

[rose peak]

😭😭

Poor dude

[void mulch]

he was behind the student

🙏🏿

[rose peak]

Nice nice

[thorn shore]

Mango damn 😭

That person an asshole

[flint bluff]

rejected

i actually am so upset rn

[autumn walrus]

me after uiuc

i guess i was always destined for rutgers

[rose peak]

Is that in state?

[autumn walrus]

yes

[autumn walrus]

we keep on fighting

uiuc is just one bum ahh school in the middle of nowhere

[analog trellis]

rutgers ain't bad

tbh

these rankings are kinda superficial

you'll get the same education regardless for undergrad

[daring wyvern]

there's always regulars

[void mulch]

i did everything ea bro

[void mulch]

experience

[analog trellis]

wdym

[upbeat ice]

did u not apply rd? 😭

[void mulch]

no

only u dub

rd

vtech and ucs

left

[upbeat ice]

😭

good luck 🫡

[runic hearth]

is ce at umd a t20

[jovial fox]

im ce as well

did u get in for ce?

[proven galleon]

im ce too

[flint bluff]

i applied only EA

[flint bluff]

twin

[heavy quest]

Is UMD better than UIUC in engineering

[jovial fox]

no UIUC is prob better

i mean depends on what u consider as "better"

but UIUC has more prestige in engineering yes

[weary root]

No ea decision?

At least for me it isn't there

[empty arch]

maybe ur application was incomplete

[weary root]

It said complete so idk

[autumn walrus]

Yea i know that

I go to a school where every mf and their mother GRIND since freshman year

The insta page has like 20 something ivy/+ admits on it 😭

And that's notwithstanding people who didn't self report

I just wanted to be able to tell people I got into a great school

That's all

And uiuc couldn't give me that desire

[heavy quest]

Did anyone get into Honors college?

[flint bluff]

real

bro i’m still in disbelief umd rejected me

[real canopy]

does this mean i got into CS or what

can any current student or someone confirm please

[crimson bear]

no it means you didn't get into CS

[real canopy]

then what the fuck is that major

[crimson bear]

letters and sciences is basically since they couldn't give you CS you were admitted to the school undecided

I think

[undone tangle]

Undecided. It used to be an easy pathway to cs

But now cs is a limited enrollment program

So going from letters and sciences to cs is very hard

[viral gust]

does anyone know where to check financial aid if they posted it yet

[carmine citrus]

They send it in march and you check it in ur portal that u make

There’s a checklist on the website

And it will tell u

How

[daring totem]

Did you get in

Umd limited their cs seats to 600 a year

Its def very low because there were 60k applications last year and cs is the most popular major here

Prolly 10% more or less

[real canopy]

are u in umd right now

[real canopy]

oh

[daring totem]

Yea

[daring totem]

This means you're undeclared

Transfers to cs are VERY hard

They have 100 transfer seats external and internal combined

Before this year they have 2000 or something

[real canopy]

how about i transfer to

comp eng

i kind of have interest in comp architecture and all

[daring totem]

That would be easy

[real canopy]

how hard is it to get into that, and tbh my ec description and my common app essay were absolute horrendous. is there any way to send a new updated improvised one which is MILES better

[daring totem]

You just fulfill the min gpa and take the pre req classes afaik

[real canopy]

which major are u in

[daring totem]

Cs

[real canopy]

can i do it before admitting

cuz i dont wanna take any risks cuz god knows what might happen

[daring totem]

Some of my friends did

Email them

[real canopy]

can i do this?

[real canopy]

oh okay

[daring totem]

You can just straight up ask for a major change to ce

I think

[real canopy]

is ce good?

[daring totem]

I can ask my friend who did it and tell you if you want

[real canopy]

please do ask 🙏

did they choose ce as their first major or did they transfer to ce before getting admitted

[daring totem]

Yea people generally don't do ce because it's pretty much cs + engineering and it's harder and has more pre requisites and required classes

I have a friend who switched from cs to ce

Ce has more job opportunities than cs after graduating I think

[real canopy]

well tell me one thing, later in the future lets say all this embedded systems and all isnt for me, can i transfer to cs again?

[daring totem]

They were admitted ltsc but they emailed or filled a form or smth and got it changed to ce

[real canopy]

oh rly? i mean there are tons in defense which i cant apply for

[real canopy]

ltsc or cs?

[daring totem]

Talking about two different people here

1 guy was admitted ltsc and he switched to ce before going

1 guy was admitted cs, he switched to ce in his 2nd semester

[real canopy]

oh dang

[daring totem]

Yeah

Unfortunately I'm international,no defense jobs for me

[real canopy]

us 😭

[daring totem]

As I said they have 100 cs seats for transfer

[real canopy]

are there more in east coast which sponsor h1bs too?

[heavy quest]

@real canopy did you have second preference while filling out the application?

[real canopy]

i chose cs

and they asked for another preference

so i chose information sciences

[heavy quest]

and they just gave u a random major?

[heavy quest]

oh ok

yeah

[real canopy]

they gave me undeclared

[heavy quest]

CS prob got filled up

[real canopy]

oh okay

[heavy quest]

CE = CS for 2 years

it doesnt matter much

i mean unless u hate physics

[daring totem]

And then it's so much harder

I couldn't do ce

So cooked

[real canopy]

@daring totem if possible can u ask both of them uh how to do the change form thing and how good is ce

[real canopy]

what exactly is hard in ce

is it the electrical part or

is there wayy too much math involved

[daring totem]

Idk much honey

[real canopy]

can u please ask them 😭

[daring totem]

Cs is mostly just math but if you do ce you need to do chem and physics classes aswell

And then there's more

[real canopy]

i can manage basic chem

and somewhat physics

😭

ill grind both of them before entering uni

[daring totem]

Id suggest spamming ap classes

If you can still register

I did 5 aps before coming

Best decision

[heavy quest]

i took CE, but is 55k USD worth UMD

like how good is UMD i dont even get it

[daring totem]

Isn't it 65

[heavy quest]

oh its like

59k for me

[daring totem]

Oo alr

[heavy quest]

did you get scholarship

[daring totem]

Depends on you,I can't answer that

[daring totem]

No

Intls don't get any

[heavy quest]

I'm OOS

[daring totem]

Yea then you might

[heavy quest]

But i didnt

😭

[daring totem]

Oh well 😢

[heavy quest]

does it usually

come out with decision?

i wonder if someone got honors as well

[daring totem]

No idea about scholarships sry

Honors just gets you good housing

You also pay 2k extra for housing and probably more random fees for Honors

Xd

[heavy quest]

Oh everything is april 1st

for scholarship

[daring totem]

Oo

Good luck!

[heavy quest]

honors can do really well on ur resume

Thanks

apparently TAMU is ranked higher than UMD in engineering tank

yet their acceptance rate is very high

[undone tangle]

@daring totem Where else had you gotten in before choosing Umd

[real canopy]

what all do u recommend

as of now im thinking of CS, Calc BC, Phy, chem

[daring totem]

Also do macroecon microecon for gen eds

[heavy quest]

Wait you're already in UMD?

[daring totem]

UF, Rose Hulman, UW Madison and some more idr

[heavy quest]

Why do AP's after commonapp

[daring totem]

Yes

[daring totem]

Because you can

[heavy quest]

CS?

[daring totem]

Yes

[heavy quest]

I mean what good does it to do

[heavy quest]

How is it?

[undone tangle]

You can skip classes

[daring totem]

Gets you out of useless gen ed classes and maybe even graduate in 3 years

That's what I'm doing

[heavy quest]

Ohh

[undone tangle]

Oo what were your specific reasons for Umd over Madison

[heavy quest]

Isn't UF like amazing as well

[daring totem]

Idt their cs program is that good

[heavy quest]

Yeah maybe

[daring totem]

Better location, more exclusive cs program

[heavy quest]

What would you say about computer engineering though? Is CS and CE similar for first few years?

[plain verge]

Yes

[heavy quest]

Yeah i heard you get good govt/agencies job

[daring totem]

Where r u from?

[real canopy]

wait what

im not business major

[daring totem]

Not a consideration factor for intl students

[daring totem]

You're still required to do humanities classes and other gen ed classes

Welcome to college

[heavy quest]

I'm not intl. I live intl but i've got us citizenship

so basically domestic

[heavy quest]

Eh i guess it can't hurt

[daring totem]

Yea I'm just saying it wasn't a consideration factor for me

[heavy quest]

would you say the community is good?

like clubs and stuff

[daring totem]

Its great

[heavy quest]

How good is umd at football

[daring totem]

💔

We on a 4 win streak in the basketball season tho!

[heavy quest]

damn

[daring totem]

And we're not even ranked

[real canopy]

oh bruh

[heavy quest]

i mean yeah

[daring totem]

Best Madison last game

[heavy quest]

I think Virginia Tech got some wild players

[daring totem]

Not just a umd thing, its a college thing

You'll have to do it everywhere

[plain verge]

Hungary

[heavy quest]

Hey i atleast took the english proficiency test so i dont got to do english there

Don't live in India anymore

[heavy quest]

You can get this one, but i assume this is mad hard

[real canopy]

oh i see

[heavy quest]

he said 62 i think

[daring totem]

You need to get into honors

Honors doesn't have intl students.

[heavy quest]

Oh?

Well yeah i didnt

[heavy quest]

bruh that sucks

[daring totem]

Read the 2nd paragraph

[real canopy]

62k per year? 😭

damn

[heavy quest]

I thoguht it was the other way round, you get scholarship then honors as it says on first para but Honors decisions come along with the normal and i didnt get in

[heavy quest]

Did you apply for financial aid

[daring totem]

Idk

[real canopy]

im intl

[daring totem]

If you're us citizen best way is to tell ur parents to move to md

[heavy quest]

wait so intl's can't get any scholarships for state unis?

[daring totem]

No

[real canopy]

obvnot

[daring totem]

0

[heavy quest]

Yeah there is no way

dang

[real canopy]

@daring totem is the huge tuition worth it

[heavy quest]

oh so thats why @real canopy applied for

many priv

but private is like do or die you know

[daring totem]

I don't know bro ask yourself

[real canopy]

yes i was desperate
