Application Review Process
The Admissions Committee considers 26 unique factors as part of our holistic review. This process considers all aspects of each applicant’s qualifications and offers admission to the most competitive applicants in order to build a vibrant class of first-year students. When a decision is available, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions will send an email to the applicant notifying them that their admission decision can be viewed online. Information on financial aid and merit scholarships will be released at a later date.
申请流程
作为整体审核的一部分，招生委员会将26个独特因素纳入考量。为了打造富有活力的大一新生集体，这个过程考核每位申请人资格的各个方面，向最有竞争力的学生提供录取。决定出来后，本科招生办公室会发送邮件通知申请人，他们的申请结果已经可以在线上查看。经济支助和奖学金方面的信息会晚点公布。

Choosing a Major
When you apply to Maryland, your preferred major is not considered in whether or not you are admissible to Maryland. You cannot indicate double-major preferences or minors at the time of application; after you are admitted, you can work with the academic advisor in your college to declare these preferences.
选择专业
申请马里兰大学，不管有没有被录取，第一专业都不会被考虑。申请的时候不能暗示自己的双学位意向或副修科目意向;入学马里兰大学之后，可以和学院的专业指导老师一起申明这些意向。
Certain majors are very popular and require a limit on the number of students they can accommodate. These majors are known as Limited Enrollment Programs (LEP). Admitted students who selected a Limited Enrollment Program as their major are then reviewed by the specific program to determine admission to that major. While the majority of students are admitted to their preferred major, some LEP applicants may not be. Students who are admitted to Maryland but not their preferred LEP major are placed in Letters & Sciences, where they will work with an advisor to meet the gateway requirements to earn admission to that major. Admitted students who did not select an LEP major are admitted directly to the major indicated on their application. All major decisions are included in the applicant’s admission decision letter.
某些专业很热门，并对入学名额有限制。这些专业叫做有限招生计划。选择有限招生计划被录用的学生接受计划的审核，以决定入学选择的专业。虽然大部分学生会选上自己喜欢的专业，但有些申请有限招生计划的学生会选不上。入学马里兰大学但没有选上自己喜欢的专业的有限招生计划的学生，会被分配到文理学院，在文理学院接受指导老师的指导，为入学自己喜欢的专业做准备。没有选择有限招生计划的被录取的学生，直接进入申请专业的学习。所有专业的决定包含在申请人的入学决定信件中。
Essay Question
In the application, students will be asked to answer one of five essay prompts, which can be reviewed in advance. The essay provides you with the opportunity to showcase aspects of your personality and experiences that fit well with the University of Maryland community. When considering your approach to the following essay questions, think deeply about your answer, making it creative and succinct. Use this opportunity as a time for self-reflection and intellectual meditation.
问答题
在申请的时候，学生需要从五个问答题中选择一个作答。问题题可以提前看到。问答题为学生提供展示个性和经历的机会，学生可以借此表明自己适合在马里兰大学学习。在答题的时候，要深入思考答案，让答案简明、有创意。这也是自我反思和理性思考的一个机会。
