Has anyone received a decision, EA or RD?
EA Results will be out by Feb 1. RD results will be out by April 1. At best, they may come out a few days before those dates.
Hey would you know the exact time the U of Maryland College Park Regular Application is due? Thanks
Early action results come out tommorow at 4:45pm.
Might want to check out this thread as it is the active thread for these questions. http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-maryland-college-park/1896654-university-of-maryland-college-park-class-of-2021-discussion.html#latest
@Blakerose55, with all due respect to adoxography, there is NO definitive date and time that has been announced by the University of Maryland other than “by February 1st.”
In the years that I have been both reading and contributing to this forum, it typically has been the last Tuesday in January, with only 2 exceptions. The first was 2 years ago, when they mounted a campaign to surprise 6 random, local students with the honor of first notice of admission on a Sunday. The decisions were released online the very next day, which was a Monday.
Last year was the other exception, which I believe is the inspiration for the rumor of today being the release date, since it was on a Friday. However, it is important to note that they had originally planned to repeat the surprise visit from Testudo for first admissions on the Sunday before decisions were released, with the idea of releasing on Monday again. A huge snowstorm derailed those plans and in fact forced the university to close on Monday and Tuesday as well. After much discussion, rather than rescheduling the surprise bus for the upcoming Sunday, they chose to release on Friday, so as to not delay further in the event of another weather related issue. That is the ONE and ONLY time I have ever seen the admissions decisions released on a Friday.
Every year, someone knows someone in admissions and rumors fly left and right. They are always wrong and people get their hopes up…please understand that Maryland plays fair. They do not tell one guidance counselor at one high school something that they don’t release to everyone else. So, while I would love to be proven wrong this year, I would recommend not getting hopes up for today.
Best of luck.
FYI you can usually login to your portal and see a decision before you get an email. That’s how it was in past years at least.
Im waiting for my decision, but I just logged into the portal and my counselor still has not submitted a letter of rec, so I only have 1 atm. Will that mean I have to wait for the RD date?
@keashane Possibly. You’d have to call admissions to double check, or wait and see what happens.
I guess it wasn’t a problem. I was accepted! I must’ve been one of the first people to read their decision, I was practically obsessing over it since I saw that problem with my application like 10 minutes ago haha. Best of luck to everyone else who is receiving their decisions tonight as well!
@Blakerose55 Happy to report I’m wrong…they apparently are out!
