Help Having a hard time on campus

30 Upvotes

For context, I changed my major/ took a gap year because of health reasons which caused me to delay my degree. I’m 23 and I transferred like a year ago and ever since then I’ve honestly been counting the days until I graduate. Since most of my friends graduated already, I’ve been trying to step out of my comfort zone and make new friends but haven’t really had any luck. I’ve tried joining new clubs and it doesn’t seem like any one is open to making friends and is just there for obligation. I’ve tried talking to people in class and it’s very surface level interactions. It genuinely seems like anywhere I go people are unwelcoming or stand offish😭😭. It’s very alarming to me considering only a couple years ago when visiting my friends it seemed like people were much friendly and welcoming. I’ve literally been outright ignored or denied from activities here or given weird looks for just joining meetings. It’s honestly been making me really depressed and I’ve had to seek out counseling a couple times. I’m not sure if it’s just me or if anyone else is experiencing this but I’m finding it very difficult to enjoy my time here.

Academic I made an extension to make tracking grades in Canvas easier

19 Upvotes

I made CanvasGradesPro a while ago because I got tired of calculating my grades manually. Some of my courses didn't have assignment weights set up in Canvas, and others hid the overall grade entirely, so it was hard to tell where I stood.

The extension adds a few things to Canvas:

  • Shows your course grades directly on the dashboard, even when the total is hidden
  • Lets you customize assignment weights, drop rules, and grading scales
  • Calculates what you need on an assignment or final to reach a certain grade
  • Tracks your semester and cumulative GPA

If you run into any bugs or have suggestions, let me know!

Academic Overcoming Post-Break Brain Fog

My brain is so fried right now, I genuinely can't think. I've practically forgotten how to do content from before break, and the content that I do know, I'm barely able to do it correctly or it takes me 30-years to retrace my steps and figure out what's going on.

Admissions Submitting ACT scores before EA deadline

2 Upvotes

I am apply to UMD Early Action, and I requested my ACT score that I took months ago to be sent to UMD pretty recently, but I am worried if the university will get the score in time. UMD states on their website that "Standardized test scores can take several weeks to process and be received by our office."

However, they also say that "It may take up to 10 business days for recently submitted materials to be listed as received on your checklist."

Do any of yall know how UMD determines whether an ACT score is submitted on time? Is it when the ACT testing agency sends the score over, or when UMD finishes processing the score and links it to your application?

Admissions Odds of getting into Smith School for Finance

1 Upvotes

I am planning on transferring to UMD with a major in finance. I submitted my early action application for spring 2027 semester and would be entering as a sophomore. I attending the Catholic University of America as an honors student majoring in finance, and participated in some extracurriculars including a sales team that worked to fundraise money for the business school. I ended my freshman year with around a 3.34 GPA, and don’t yet have 45 credits, so I will go under competitive review once I submit my transcript after this semester showing I have 45 credits. I am now at a Maryland community college that offers the Maryland Transfer Advantage Program (MTAP). I also had really good letters of recommendation, and believe my essay was really good as well. I am applying as a finance major, but I was thinking of changing to economics, a non LEP so I don’t waste my one shot at applying to an LEP since I don’t think my odds are that good right now. Should I switch my major to economics and enter in the spring at UMD and try to apply into the business school in fall of 2027, or stay at my Maryland Community College to get the MTAP qualification which could also increase chances, then transfer from community to UMD and into the business school. What’s my best bet to get in?
