Who can apply?
Any incoming first-year student.
When to apply?
We are currently accepting applications. We begin accepting applications from high school seniors for the upcoming fall semester in November. We have a rolling admissions policy. We begin reviewing applications in December and will continue to accept applications until we have filled all of our seats. Students must be accepted to UMD before they can apply to University Honors. Early applications are more likely to be successful.
How to apply
We evaluate incoming first-year students on three criteria. The personal statement, GPA, and list of extracurricular activities. Once you are admitted, we have access to your GPA, so you must submit two additional components to complete the University Honors application:
-
A description of extracurricular activities engaged in within the past four years.
If you are unable to access the application submission form,
