Hey guys, I am applying to colleges this year and I'm interested in the University of Maryland. What essay prompts should I expect when applying? Any advice on how to tackle them?
Hello! You can check out the current prompts for the University of Maryland (UMD), as well as breakdowns of how to tackle each one, on CollegeVine's blog: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-university-of-maryland-essays. Recently, UMD has not required any additional full-length essays, but rather a sequence of short-answer, fill-in-the-blank type questions with limits of 650 characters.
If you're wondering if your answers are working, consider taking advantage of CollegeVine's Free Peer Essay Review Tool, or submitting your essay for a paid review by an expert college admissions advisor through CollegeVine's marketplace. Sometimes, getting a more objective set of eyes on your essay is just the thing that takes it from good to great.
Good luck on your application to the University of Maryland!
