Maryland Engineering Acceptance Rate?

I'm interested in applying to the University of Maryland's engineering program, and I'm curious about their acceptance rate for engineering specifically. Does anyone have any info on this or how competitive it is to get accepted into the engineering program?

The University of Maryland (UMD) is home to the A. James Clark School of Engineering, which is well regarded and quite competitive. However, UMD does not publish specific acceptance rates for its engineering programs; they provide the general acceptance rate for the entire university, which was around 44-52% as of recent data.

In terms of competitiveness for the engineering programs at UMD, it's expected to be more competitive than the overall acceptance rate due to the reputation of the Clark School of Engineering. To give yourself the best chances of admission, you'll want to have strong grades, especially in math and science courses, and demonstrate a genuine interest in engineering through your extracurricular activities or prior experiences.

Keep in mind that UMD also considers other aspects of your application, like your personal statement and letters of recommendation. It's important to emphasize your passion for engineering and showcase your strengths in these areas throughout your application.

Although it's hard to provide an exact acceptance rate for UMD engineering programs, the general consensus is that it's a competitive program, and you should take the necessary steps to present a strong and well-rounded application. Good luck!
