University of Maryland-College Park Early Decision: there is no Early Decision round
MD
Does University of Maryland-College Park have Early Decision?
University of Maryland-College Park reports no Early Decision round (Common Data Set 2026-2027). Its early option is Early Action, which is not binding — an Early Action offer does not commit you to attend. There is no Early Decision application to spend here.
Admitted SAT · middle 50% · College Scorecard 2024
1400–1530
Half of admitted students scored inside this range. It is the admitted band, not a minimum and not a cutoff, and it covers the whole entering class rather than the Early Decision round alone.
What families actually pay (AY 2023–24)
An Early Action offer is not binding, so applying early here does not end the option of comparing two aid offers. These are the published averages either way.
Average paid by students receiving federal aid, by family income (College Scorecard).
In-state students only.
International students are not eligible for U.S. federal aid, so they are not in this cohort and typically pay closer to the sticker price.
Across the 8 recorded cycles from 2017 to 2024, University of Maryland-College Park's overall acceptance rate held around 44.8%. That is the whole entering class — Early Decision, Early Action and Regular Decision together — not the Early Decision round on its own.
