Process Update (10/21/11):
The MTAP folks will no longer accept a hand-written MTAP application.
From this point forward, direct students to the MTAP application online (posted as writable PDF document). Please note students do not submit the application online. They complete a PDF form online, print and hand-carry it to the SV building. It is linked from our the transfer web site and available from UMD’s site at: http://www.uga.umd.edu/admissions/apply/forms.asp#mtap or http://www.uga.umd.edu/sharedmedia/PDF/2011%20App%20Forms/WritableMTAPApplication092011.pdf.
Note: We’ve removed the paper applications from CB215. Please discard any additional copies you see floating around.

Please feel free to email her at tcochran@umd.edu or call her at 301-314-8391 if you or your students have questions about the program. Laura Albuerme assists with the MTAP application process at MC.

- The MTAP application now requires students provide a statement as to why they want to participate in MTAP. Students should submit a thoughtful paragraph of why they want to participate in MTAP not just a one sentence answer.
- When completing a “Course Interest Survey” form, you must now include the student's cumulative GPA.
The form can be downloaded from this website and is located near the bottom of the page http://www.admissions.umd.edu/admissions/apply/forms.asp#mtap.
