1. I'm Not Sure If AAP Is Right For Me. Isn't It Only For Students
Who Fit
The Eligibility Criteria?
AAP receives federal grant money, and this money does come with some restrictions on what
students
we can serve. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that AAP programs are not right for
you! We
strongly recommend you contact us if you are interested in our services... it can't hurt to
ask, can
it?
2. I'm Interested In The Summer Transitional Program, But I Don't
Know How To
Apply! Could I Get More Information?
The Summer Transitional Program (STP) is an invitation-only program for students who apply
to the
University of Maryland through the usual application process. The Office of Undergradaute
Admissions
at the University determines who will be invited to apply. Even students who are invited to
apply
are not guaranteed admission into the STP. If you have received an invitation letter, please
visit
the STP Application as soon as possible to express your
interest
in the program before it's too late.
3. I Heard That In Their First Year, AAP Students Can't Participate
In Sports
Teams Or Greek Life. Is That True?
Yes, for their first year, AAP students are not permitted to join sports teams and/or pledge
into
fraternities or sororities. This is to ensure a successful academic year as students will be
heavily
engaged in rigourous and intensive study. AAP students can however join student clubs and
organizations.
4. I Am A Current Student At The University Of Maryland And I Heard
About The
AAP Program. What Do You Have To Offer?
Great! We're glad to hear of your interest because we have lots to offer to you. If you
would like
assistance in English, Math, or College Study Skills then the Intensive Educational
Development
(IED) program can help. IED occasionally offers special workshops on topics like
test-taking, math
anxiety, and GRE preparation.
