Does University of Maryland have short answer questions?

I'm applying to the University of Maryland and it's one of my top choices. I'm kinda stressed about their requirements, and I was wondering if they have any short answer questions? If they do, what are the topics? Thanks!

Yes, the University of Maryland does have short answer questions as part of their application process. These questions help the admissions committee get to know you better and understand your fit with the University.

Fortunately, CollegeVine has an annually updated article with all of UMD's prompts, along with in-depth guides to responding to each of them, which you can find here: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-university-of-maryland-essays

Please note that the topics and word limits may change, so it's essential to double-check the current application requirements on the University of Maryland's website or through the platform you're using to apply (such as the Common App or Coalition App).

Don't stress too much about these questions! They're an opportunity for you to showcase your experiences, your passion for learning, and your unique perspective. Be honest and thoughtful when responding, and make sure to proofread your answers to ensure they're clear and engaging.
