Hey, I'm applying to the University of Maryland and I'm not sure how to approach their application questions. Anyone got any tips or suggestions on what UMD is looking for in their applicants and how I can make my answers stand out?
Luckily for you, CollegeVine has a blog post breaking down exactly how you want to respond to the University of Maryland's application questions: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-university-of-maryland-essays. Overall, you'll want your answers to reflect your genuine, specific passions and interests. And don't be afraid to have some fun with a couple of your answers - college applications are somewhat dry by their nature, so mixing up the tone of yours by injecting some lightheartedness or even humor can help it stand out to admissions officers.
Keep in mind that CollegeVine also offers both a free peer essay review tool and paid reviews by expert college admissions advisors. Sometimes, a second set of eyes is just the thing you need to verify whether or not you're taking full advantage of these opportunities to share your personality with UMD.
Good luck with your application!
