UMD regular decision acceptance rate details?

Trying to get some insight into the UMD regular decision process. Does anyone have any details on the acceptance rate for regular decision? I'm curious about how competitive it is.

Regarding your question about the University of Maryland (UMD), it's typically a competitive school with the overall acceptance rate fluctuating around 44% in recent years. However, they don't officially break down their acceptance rates by Early Action and Regular Decision.

That said, college admissions processes generally tend to be more competitive during the Regular Decision round, as more students apply during this period, and many slots may have already been filled by Early Action acceptances. Plus, keep in mind that the acceptance rate can vary from year to year based on the applicant pool and the university's specific goals for shaping their incoming class.

Importantly, UMD takes a holistic approach to their application review. This means they're considering more than just your GPA and test scores. They'll also take into account the rigor of your high school curriculum, any accomplishments or leadership in extracurricular activities, your essays, and additional factors that showcase your potential to contribute to the UMD community.

Remember, even if a school has a competitive acceptance rate, don't let that discourage you! If UMD is your dream school and you believe you're a good fit, absolutely apply. Make sure your application shows who you are as a student and an individual, and it showcases your potential as a future Terp.
