<p>does anyone know if we find out about merit scholarships with our decision or does that come out later?</p>
<p>This is so stressful. Every other school I applied to had their early action applicants notified by late November/early december. Only UMD tortures you for a month longer.</p>
<p>I JUST WANT TO KNOW.</p>

<p>where is source that says 28th?</p>
<p>My app was sent in on time and when I called today they said they have everything and I’m under priority review but online my app doesn’t say “under review.” Is anybody else having this issue? Thanks.</p>
<p>Thanks for the update! Just curious what exactly is a Maryland admissions adviser?</p>
<p>Hopefully you are right about the 28th I really can’t wait any longer. So, have we come to a decision on wether the “completed on such or such date” means anything?</p>
<p>My guess it means when they have everything they need-a completed file-but it could mean their review is completed. Hard to know…</p>
<p>Maryland Freshman Admissions advisors are those assigned to various parts of the country. Each one has their “territory” and assist seniors with applying and answering any questions. They are also randomly assigned applications to review. So they might not review their own area’s applicants. If you call Admissions, they can tell you who the Advisor is for your school.</p>
<p>You people are all so obsessive. Just get over it, be patient, and wait for your admission decisions. You’re reading too much into the applicant portal.</p>

<p>In 2011, my kid got an admissions decision and an invitation to Honors at the end of January, and a B/K letter a few weeks later. I believe notifications for other merit awards (Presidential, Dean’s, etc.) came at the same time as B/K.</p>
<p>FYI guys- I just logged in to my application portal ( I can’t help it I’m too nervous :/) and the completion date changed from 1/19 to 1/26 ! I’m surprised they are working on Saturdays. I can’t decide if it’s good or bad. Uggghhhhh</p>
<p>Future128 I do not think it is good or bad, I really think the date is basically a place holder of sorts, just to say that they do in fact still have your application, and are “reviewing” it still. I put that in quotations, because I can’t see them still reviewing early action apps.</p>
<p>same here future… my status has changed from 1/19 to 1/26</p>
<p>Just want to wish you all the very best. We all know how tense this time can be. Following the decisions there will also be tons of anxiety about scholarships, freshman connection, etc. etc. In the end everything will work out even for those of you that don’t get in or are passed over for scholarships.</p>
<p>For those of you that are accepted, CONGRATULATIONS! UMD has proved to be a great choice for our two kids, neither of whom considered UMD a first choice when applying. </p>
<p>Relax, if at all possible, and remember this whole higher education thing is more dependent on your efforts than where you go to school.</p>
