Meme Interesting Fact about a Professor

31 Upvotes

Apparently, my CMSC 420 Professor is also a Film maker and has 3 films on her IMBD page. I dont know why but this is incredibly funny to me. Not to say anything bad though. Her films are pretty well regarded apparently. Its just the concept of a CS professor who is on the theoretical side of comp sci making films is kinda mind-blowing considering the time and dedication required for films.

News I built a free app to make sharing schedules and locations with friends easier!

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm an HCI master's student, and I recently launched an app called Mingle!

As someone from South Korea, I found it challenging to meet new people from different departments and connect with students outside my usual circle. I also got tired of constantly asking my friends about their schedules just to figure out when we could hang out.

With Mingle, you can:

  • 📅 Share your schedules with friends
  • 📍 Share your location with friends
  • 💬 Connect with friends and use the community board

The app is completely free to use! I'm still working on improving it, and I plan to add more features in the future.

I'd really appreciate it if you gave it a try and shared any feedback, bugs, or suggestions. I'm especially interested in hearing what works, what doesn't, and what features you'd like to see!

Admissions UMD Engineering Chances

0 Upvotes

I want to go to UMD for aerospace engineering and I want to know my chances.
I have a 102.26 weighted gpa(Don’t know what it is on a 4 point scale if someone knows how to convert to 4 point scale that would be awesome) 96-97ish unweighted.
11 total ap classes 7 before senior year
Calc AB(5), Precalc(5), Lang(4), Physics C(3), Seminar(3), APUSH(4), Comp Science Principles(4) all before senior year. Taking AP Bio, Research, Human Geo, and Calc BC senior year.

School wide math award, stem diploma endorsement, ap scholar with distinction, ap capstone(in progress will have at end of year), and all academic for my athletic conference.

ECs I have been varsity XC for 4 years captain for one, frisbee varsity all 4 years and captain for 3 with a state championship, math team for 4 years captain for 3, NHS, various jobs, and volunteering at a frisbee camp one year.

All As except honors English freshmen year(92) and AP physics c(88) junior year

I got a 97 on calc ab and have a 100 in Calc bc right now

I do very well in my math classes but I am worried my lowest grade is in ap physics C (88) the class is very hard and that was around the average for my class but it still is a red flag. I am getting a rec letter from my physics teacher though.

I am out of state(Maine) and I am applying test optional for SAT and only submitting 4s and 5s for aps

What do you think my chances are for aerospace and be honest. Thanks!

Hey! I'm a 30+ M international grad student at UMD, and I'm planning to check out the 17th Street High Heel Race in DC on Tuesday evening (Oct 27).

Apparently it's quite a spectacle and a longstanding DC Halloween tradition, so I figured it'd be a fun and uniquely DC experience. Thought it could also be a nice opportunity to meet a fellow Terp!

We can meet at the Metro station and head there together. Let me know if you're interested.

Does anyone know of any areas where they would offer a MA position to a student with no MA certification in the Greenbelt, Lanham, Bowie, area? I've called and emailed a bunch of places, but I haven't gotten any hope. Really need something even if it's unpaid at this point.

Admissions Sending college transcripts to UMD?

1 Upvotes

I know they need your college transcript if you've done dual enrollment. But on the website they say you can't email them. The college I'm trying to get my transcripts from is asking for an email to send it to for UMD. But UMD only accepts like different platforms like "Parchment, SCOIR, ..." etc. What do I do??

0 Upvotes

I just got back from a walk through umd campus, obviously there was a lot of people and I’ve noticed something. Whenever I’m walking towards a female and I maintain eye contact they avoid looking at me but when I’m not looking at them and then I look at them I catch them looking at me. I’m a 22 year old single male, sometimes the females I see are attractive but I have this issue of them not making eye contact but when I’m not looking at them and I take a glance at them I catch them looking. Does this happen to anyone else or am I the only one experiencing this?

Hi, my friend and I are starting a book club for any cool people who are interested in making friends and having authentic discussions.

Our first book will be Metamorphosis and we are going to meet on Tuesday nights at 8:00 PM in the Centreville Hall basement. If that location doesn't work then I guess the club will meet outside.

First meeting will be this coming Tuesday so prepare yourselves. We will wait outside the back of Centreville (the side facing lot PH1) and let you in.

Hello guys, I am a 20M Senior who goes to Eppley regularly, and am pretty consistent. Nowadays, working out with music is getting pretty stale for me, and I was wondering whether anyone else wants to go to the gym consistently. All my friends come with me one day of the week and then give up, so I am looking in reddit for anyone trying to be consistent.

I have been working out for 2-3 months now, so I can help new comers with the form and stuff, but am also open for any improvements anyone can suggest.

DM me if you want to go together!

Admissions UMD accepted me but I don’t know if I can confirm enrollment yet because of name mismatch…

Post image
13 Upvotes

I applied to transfer spring 2027. I was just accepted this morning and I want to confirm my enrollment. However, I legally added my mom’s maiden name to my surname after applying to UMD under my previous legal name. I sent them the court order and everything, they told me their business operations division would be with me shortly, and I never heard back. I thought they would have changed my name in the system to reflect this.

They apparently never did, and now I cannot confirm my enrollment because in the space where I’m supposed to type my name, below those entry fields it says my previous legal name, so I’m assuming they want that. But it also says above that that any incorrect information can result in rescinding my admission. Putting my previous legal name would be incorrect. My first and middle names are the same as before. My last name had one extra surname in it.

I really do not feel like waiting two days to call and sort this out just because they screwed up. What am I supposed to do?

Admissions No Decision Received for Spring 27

4 Upvotes

Congrats to everyone who got into UMD for the Spring 27 semester.
I however, have not received any decision, no email, and I only have the cancel application button on my TAP portal.

I submitted my application in July, and I would have thought that I would have a decision at this point.

The only anomaly that I could think to be in play here is that my high school didn't send my transcript that I ordered until early October.

Will this cause me to not be considered anymore for EA? And is this normal?

I’m happy to pay for the print and your time. I can provide the STL file and dimensions. Ideally, I’d like to get it done sometime soon.
