Class of 2019 REGULAR decision thread

Anyone else here apply regular decision? I’m dying to hear back. I thought I’d start this thread so we can share information about the notification date and post acceptances/rejections. This is specifically for those who applied by the January 20th regular decision date :slight_smile:

S applied regular decision (1/20) and has not heard back yet. Wonder how they notify (mail, email or portal) - and historically, when?

I believe last year an email was sent out on March 26th telling people to check their decision on the portal. not positive though.

Can someone tag me in this thread when decisions are out? Thanks

I’m so exited for decisions but i heard a lot of rumors. one was that regular decision students have a harder time getting into fall admission. I’m trying out for r h smith, what school did you guys apply to?

@moon1light9path7‌ Unfortunately for anyone that applies RD, it is more difficult to get in. The majority of accepted students come from the priority deadline applicant pool. Don’t give up hope though. Good luck to you!

When are these decisions supposed to come out

hopefully today! it feels like i’ve been waiting forever!

I received an email saying we should expect decisions the first week of April :frowning: wish they came out today! I can’t wait!

wait you got an email? i didn’t get any email

I emailed admissions asking when decisions are going to be released and a woman responded saying we should hear back the first week of April. Sorry for the confusion!

ohh okay! wow that scared me for a second. i wonder why its taking so long. last year they released decisions on march 26th i believe

1st week of April? Wow that’s late

What?.. April? that is ridiculously late! School website clearly states April 1 (latest) and typically decisions are posted well before that. Unprofessional and disappointing… sorry, venting - we’re frustrated… this is last hold-out. My D has all her decisions in (including NYU, which is historically late)… hope this is not a reflection of how UMD is governed. Hopefully Monday! Come on UMD, get it together… :wink:

I also applied RD and was wondering what opportunities there will be to join the honors college 2nd semester? And also what opportunities for scholarships there will be as we all missed those as well?

It’ll be unprofessional on April 2nd. Until then chill out guys :expressionless:

I’m on the same boat as you. I didn’t not know until the application deadline passed that honors colleges and scholarships is only available for students who applied by November 1st.

It’s currently the last weekend in March… all decisions are in (even the ivy’s)… UMD website clearly states decisions announced by Apr 1st - technically that means midnight Mar 31. Then, an anxious applicant gets an email from admissions stating “1st week of apr”… come on… that’s lame. UMD is clearly behind… get it together… these hard working kids deserve better.

UMD was a big contender… we discovered too late that applying AFTER Nov 1 was “unfavorable”. Soooooooo not cool :frowning:

Still waiting. UMD is really testing our patience. April 1st week sounds too long.
