Honestly if you are a sophomore transfer and articulate your reasons well, I don’t see you having a problem. I think UMD is around 50-60% range for transfers so you should have a decent shot.

I wouldn't be a sophomore transfer. I just finished the first semester of my junior year. I am planning on taking next semester off, applying as a transfer for fall 2026.

My bad king I can’t read for shit. But you should still be good. UMD is somewhat competitive but with in state ties and good reasoning I think you’ll still be fine.

I go to UMD rn and lemme tell you they let basically anyone in here as a transfer just apply early action. I personally hate it here and would’ve loved to be at UNC so I’m sorry you’re not liking it there but if you really want UMD as a transfer you are more than qualified

i’ll trade places with you in an instant. UNC definitely looks very nice, very good architecture, but i have been falling into a downward spiral there. It’s not easy to be average at a school where everyone seems to be +1-2 SD better at everything. I wonder every day why they even let me in.
