I went to the USNEWS website. Why there is only detail info (SAT range, GPA, acceptance rate, and etc) for Princeton and Harvard? How do you gain access to profiles of other schools. Is it necessary to pay?

By the way, I have visited U Maryland. The campus is beautiful. You guys have many cool stadiums!!!

i'm not sure... but i think collegeboard.com and the school's website should have those information.

haha you did visit umd before?

yea umd is a beautiful place, but it's kinda too big...= ="

where do you live?

[ting771210 10]

Yeah, U Maryland is on my collegelist.

I live in New Jersey

how about you? where do you live before you go to college?

Do you live on campus? Does U Maryland require first year student to live in dorm?

[forlornha 10]

cool!!!

maryland's pretty good, you should definitely consider maryland!!!!!!

i lived in columbia, maryland, 20 min away from cp.

i live on campus, but it's not required.

so are you a senior?

[ting771210 10]

yes! i am a senior.

I am finalizing my college list in these days. And try to create a chart with all the deadlines. Thinking about all the stuff i gotta do for applying college makes me feel dizzy. There are thousands of forms waiting for me to fill.

And yes! I will definitely apply U Maryland.

Since it is a state university, out of state students have no privilege. Hope I will get in!

[forlornha 10]

actually we have many out of state students!!

i think its like half instate & half out of states... so you'll have a good chance to get in i bet

and maryland's not too difficult to get in so =D

[evenstar 10]

好像是要訂閱才有哦...

為此我曾經有點生氣XD

[forlornha 10]

Here's the deadlines for umd, i'm sure you already have them, just you know, i really hope there's more taiwanese in our school =(
