UMD Architecture acceptance rate?

I'm really interested in architecture and I've been considering applying to the University of Maryland. Does anyone have any info on the acceptance rate specifically for their architecture program?

The University of Maryland (UMD) doesn't publicly release specific acceptance rates for individual programs like architecture. However, I can provide you with some general information that may be helpful.

UMD is a well-regarded institution, with an overall acceptance rate around 40-50% in recent years. In general, architecture is known to be a competitive major at all institutions, given that students need to both be artistically talented and have a strong foundation in challenging math and science concepts. So, it's fair to assume that the acceptance rate at UMD for architecture majors is lower than the school's overall rate - likely somewhere in the 30s or even high 20s, although that is just an estimate.

To increase your chances of admission, focus on maintaining a strong academic record, participating in relevant extracurricular activities, and developing a standout portfolio. Ultimately, those factors matter more for determining your own personal chances of acceptance than general admissions statistics.

If you're really passionate about architecture and want to learn more about the program at UMD, I'd recommend reaching out to the admissions office or the School of Architecture itself to ask for more specific information and advice. Good luck!
