Admission decisions

When does UMD- College park start rolling out admission decisions?

@Rahulbarcafan - According to the UMD website, the Priority Deadline Decision Release Date is “by February 1 2016”. Based on how UMD released decisions last year, I believe this will be the date ALL decisions are released. In any event it is Extremely unlikely that decisions will be released before the last week in January 2016,

Everyone gets their decisions on the same day, at the same time. Good Luck.

@SoofDad - do they come by email, mail, portal,…?

@fretfulmother = Decisions will most likely be out the last week in January. Everyone will get an email at the same time (usually 4:30PM or so) telling them that their decision is available on the Application portal. Just log on and look.

The very first sentence will give the decision and state if you were admitted to Honors or Scholars. At the bottom it will list the advising college. If it says “Letters and Sciences” and you applied to a LEP, then you didn’t get into the LEP. If you did get in it will say “Smith” or “Clark” or whatever school is appropriate. If you didn’t get into your LEP, you can do an internal transfer. Except for Smith, it isn’t a big deal

The possible results are

  • Admitted to UMD Spring 2017
  • Admitted to UMD Fall 2016
  • Admitted to UMD Fall 2016 + admitted to Scholars
  • Admitted to UMD Fall 2016 + admitted to Honors
  • Admitted to UMD Fall 2016 + admitted to LEP
  • Admitted to UMD Fall 2016 + admitted to Scholars + admitted to LEP
  • Admitted to UMD Fall 2016 + admitted to Honors + admitted to LEP.
