<p>I was browsing the UMD website, specifically reading about the Scholars Program and noted that the target date for UMD to release their admissions decisions by the application portal is 1/28/13. That is only 8 days away! At least that's better than 1/31. This is for students who applied early action, I believe. Hold on to your hats everyone and good luck!</p>
<p>I just saw the same thing. Would hope its for anyone who applied EA and not just for Scholar invites.</p>
<p>ah really?! can you post the link for where u saw that?</p>
<p>This would be awesome news if true, but I think the decisions are still going to be coming out the 31st sadly. By the way how do we check to see if we are admitted or not? Do we just log into our UMD account, or will they email us, because for all the other colleges I got into there was a spot in my account where the decision was posted, is this the same for UMD?</p>
<p>Here is the link:</p>
<p>[College</a> Park Scholars - Enrollment Timeline for Invited Students](<a href=“http://www.scholars.umd.edu/prospective/faq/89-prospective-students/332-enrollment-timeline-for-invited-students]College”>http://www.scholars.umd.edu/prospective/faq/89-prospective-students/332-enrollment-timeline-for-invited-students)</p>
<p>Actually after looking through that page in more detail I have come to the conclusion that the decisions for admittance to the university are also going to come out on the 28th. In one of the sub sections it says you will find out if you were admitted to scholars in the UNIVERSITY acceptance letter in the admissions portal, which leads me to believe that everyone’s decisions are coming out that day.</p>
<p>If someone could call admissions on Tuesday for some sort of confirmation to this, that would be amazing. I do not think they would give an outright answer, but if you told them all the “facts” we have they might hint at something.</p>
<p>"January 28, 2013–University of Maryland Admission Decision</p>
<p>This is the target date for the University of Maryland to notify students of their admission to the University. Students will be notified electronically on this date by way of the Admissions application portal."</p>
<p>Directly off carly135’s link :)</p>
<p>Looking forward to the 28th instead of the 31st now! Good luck to everyone!!!</p>
<p>Oh wow I look really stupid right now, I didn’t scroll down on the link and only saw the timetable at the top of the page. But this is great news, or it could actually be horrible news since the decision now comes out on Monday, and if you don’t get in your whole week is ruined. However, I hope everything woks out great for everyone.</p>
<p>I think they are only referring to the Scholars program. Not sure if that differs from a regular undergrad admission. My daughter and I are on pins and needles waiting for the decision. Its her first choice and we both fell in love with the school upon a visit. She wil be devastated if she doesn’t get in so i hope the news dfoes come out on the 28th? can anyone confirm if scholars and regular admissions are the same thing?</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone</p>
<p>Scholars is in addition to reg admission. decisions come on the same day.</p>
<p>Well start setting ur calenders guys.</p>
<p>Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>guys i just check the link and the part that said jan 28th is gone!!! i guess we’re back to jan 31st :(</p>
<p>maybe someone wants to call admissions and just ask the date? Or is it top secret?</p>
<p>Rumors have started to fly in our high school that decisions are coming out on friday. anyone else hear this?</p>
<p>I just called the admissions office and the woman would not/ could not give a specific date but stated that the decisions would be the last week in January and students would get an email telling them to check the application portal. I asked her specifically if decisions were coming out on the 28th but she did not know- and only stated " last week in January".<br>
So… the waiting and guessing continues.</p>
<p>Do you guys think that they removed the part of the the link that said the 28th, because they are not going to be coming out that day, or perhaps they removed it, because the admissions office didn’t want everyone to know the specific date of release, so they wouldn’t have a 100 families calling them over the next few days with questions. Just an idea, and I hope that it is a correct one, because I was really hoping to find out on Monday.</p>
<p>silentkink its not as though this is their first time sending out admission decisions… im sure they already knew/experienced the chaos of it and if they didnt want that they, would have never posted it in the first place</p>
<p>I heard from our Maryland admissions advisor that decisions will be posted “no earlier than January 25th”. So it very well could be this Friday…</p>
