Admission to UMES is granted to those applicants whose academic qualifications indicate the potential for succeeding in college. Decisions for admissions are made on a rolling basis throughout the year. We strive to notify prospective students of a decision within 1-2 weeks from receiving a complete application and all required documents.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What We Look For<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The classes you take and the grades you receive in them matter. We typically look for students who have taken more challenging classes (which can vary from school to school, we take that into account also) and have done well in them. For First-Time Freshmen, we also look at standardized test scores, if you choose to submit them <\/strong>(UMES has a test optional policy).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
