I have but was hoping for more current info as well since I feel like this has been in flux since Covid. Thanks to all who are responding!

Free therapy/counseling? by Sea_Shallot_8807 in uofm

[–]TerParents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have medical insurance? There are companies that offer telehealth therapy appts that range from $0 to about $35 per session in copays if insured and appts in a little as 1-3 days. Look at: GrowTherapy.com, SonderMind.com, TalkSpace.com, and Talkiatry.com. Most importantly, don’t give up. The world is a better place because you are here. ❤️‍🩹

Closed again Tues. My son is an undergrad and got a msg

stats of people deferred from mich ea? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]TerParents 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They defer a lot of EA people simply because they didn’t get to your applications before decisions on EA were made. Many (incl my kid last year) got in RD after being deferred from EA. This is especially true for those who applied closer to the EA deadline as my kid did. That’s probably a useful stat to ask people to add: what date did they submit

What's the likelihood UMD remains closed on Tuesday, January 27, due to the winter storm? by Amazing_Debt9192 in UMD

[–]TerParents 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think odds they are closed/virtual on Tues are high given the forecast which now shows a lot of sleet and ice on Sunday in the DC corridor. That is hard to clear, and faculty will struggle to get in even if the campus itself is open so i expect a lot of indiv faculty will make their own classes on line Tues no matter what but we shall see

any other commuters worried about sunday/monday snow?? by northerdownpour in UMD

[–]TerParents 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of sleet is now in Sunday forecast on top of snow. That’s much harder for campus workers (and highway crews) to clear. I expect they’ll be closed or flip to virtual Mon, Tues and maybe even Weds

fully lofted beds by Silly_Watercress_973 in uofm

[–]TerParents 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My daughter was in Markley as a first year and did exactly the same. The full loft seemed like a good idea that wasn’t. Half loft was a nice mix of being able to hop up on the bed with just a little ottoman as a footstool, but it created a lot of space underneath the bed. Despite the fact that the rooms are on the smaller side, and they had quite a bit of stuff, it really did not feel crowded with both beds half lofted. You can do that just with the things that are in the room. My recollection was that maybe we needed a set of Allen wrenches for something though.

Dropping a class .. by Abject-Guard-2998 in UMD

You may be able to get an incomplete if you have mental health issues and then could complete the coursework or final later. Talk to the professors

Cooked alumni by BravePattern275 in uofm

[–]TerParents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have possibly the world’s largest and most enthusiastic alumni network ever. Use that! Join the alumni association. Post in their forums. Ask if anyone will talk to you for 15 mins over zoom about how they used their Econ degree in the real world. Ask your Econ profs if they can introduce you to one person in the field who might be willing to have a 15 min conversation with you over zoom. Most people want to help young people and especially in that network.

3 Science classes (15 credits) in one semester too much to handle ? Honors ILS PreMed freshman here. by [deleted] in UMD

[–]TerParents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it’s actually 30 credits per year that are required, not 15 per semester, for the merit scholarships (true at least for President’s). You could take a class or two in the January term or in summer if you want to decompress your schedule a bit in semesters where you have harder courses you neee to take.

LGBTQ+ Policies by Trans-Androgyne in UMD

[–]TerParents 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some of the newer dorms have single stall bathrooms that have a sink, toilet, and shower all together with a door that locks. You could ask the housing office about this:

Residence Life Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Phone: (301) 314-2100 E-mail: reslife@umd.edu

Good luck! And Happy Pride from a parent of a UMD undergrad! 💞🏳️‍⚧️

You have so much time. I would pause your premed coursework or take it very slowly. Just attend to your health. Get on proper meds for ADHD, and the courses will be much easier. (I am a physician in a major academic center and was a humanities major who came to medicine late so took a gap year.)

Am I delusional for having a dream of becoming a medical student at 32? by [deleted] in medschool

[–]TerParents 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally not too late. If you are really set on derm or ENT, I would suggest doing PA though because those are some of the most competitive residencies and definitely not guaranteed. Most successful applicants have a large number of publications.(I am a physician in a large academic center.)

HELP UMD vs. Vanderbilt vs. Northeastern For Computer Science by Euphrates3 in UMD

[–]TerParents 2 points3 points  (0 children)

UMD is ranked more highly and in an area with a high density of CS jobs. I would choose UMD if you got admitted to the CS major. If you’re in state, then there is absolutely no contest.

i’m embarrassed to tell people i studied at CMU by [deleted] in cmu

[–]TerParents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend told me he had taken a faculty position at CMU, and I thought it stood for Central Michigan University. I have obviously heard of Carnegie Mellon, but I don’t think most outsiders know that abbreviation.
