<p>Does anyone know when decisions come out for Early action applicants? Thanks.</p>
<p>I keep hearing end of January, but no exact date, unfortunately. If you find out, please post! Much appreciated. </p>
<p>And by the way, it’s called a Priority Deadline because it’s not actually early action, meaning that you apply to Maryland by Nov 1 and still do Restrictive Early Action programs at colleges such as Yale and Stanford.</p>
<p>Consensus seems to be they will be posted online the last weekday of January.</p>
<p>Yep, it will be very late January… the wait is killlling me</p>
<p>I heard last year it was like January 30th</p>
<p>This is the first college that’s going to notify me. Waiting is not very fun.</p>
<p>So it seems that they defer you? Like the Spring option or the no-housing/classes after 3 option are like their deferrals?</p>
<p>It would totally suck to wait this long and still be in limbo</p>
<p>Why would they defer you? I didn’t even know they did that at Maryland.</p>
<p>Someone mentioned hearing about your decision on-line? Where on-line?? I went to their website and it said you would hear by mail by end of January, there was no mention of on-line notification, nor did I see anyplace where they would notify???</p>
<p>[University</a> of Maryland - Admitted Students](<a href=“http://admissions.umd.edu/admissions/admitted.asp]University”>http://admissions.umd.edu/admissions/admitted.asp). “Check Your Decision Online”</p>
<p>I emailed them last month and this was the reply. In precise they said “We do not have separate applications for our merit scholarships or honors programs. Our first decision letters for priority applicants will be mailed by the first of February 2011”</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>This is the detailed mail they gave me. </p>
<p>Thank you for your message. We do not have an early action/decision policy. We have a non binding priority deadline of November 1, 2010 for freshman applicants for Fall Semester of 2011. We ask that if you apply early action to another school, and choose that school, you contact us to decline consideration here so that we know how much space we will have for other applicants.</p>
<p>Students who complete all of their application by the priority November 1, 2010 date will receive automatic and best consideration for fall admission, merit scholarships, and invitation to special programs such as University Honors and College Park Scholars. We do not have separate applications for our merit scholarships or honors programs. Our first decision letters for priority applicants will be mailed by the first of February 2011, and you would also find out at that time if you had been invited to either of the honors programs. Merit based scholarship awards come out the month of March and need based financial aid awards come out by the first of April. Because this is not an early action program, all admitted students have until May 1, 2011 to confirm their enrollment. Once the decision letter has been mailed, you may see the decision online.</p>
<p>I really hate that we have to wait so long. It feels like I’ve been waiting a year and I’m officially annoyed. We’ll probably find out on the 28th or 31st…</p>
<p>i heard its either the 15th or the 31st</p>
<p>i had heard a rumor that it was supposed to be yesterday but…obviously it wasnt haha</p>
<p>My admissions counselor sent me an email and told me decisions will be available on Jan 29th.</p>
<p>It’s past noon on 1/29 and I still haven’t received any email and the website still says decisions for priority applicants are not yet available.</p>
<p>Does Maryland assign everyone their own admissions counselor? I don’t know if I have one, but with other schools, I was able to email my assigned counselor and get a response on weekends. Maybe that would work…</p>
<p>this is extremely frustrating. Usually colleges come on their deadline or before. But UMD doesn’t even tell us what date it’s coming out. They want us to guess.</p>
<p>Gee I wish they would send decisions out already. I heard that they’ll send them out by Feb. 1st from a friend of mine who has a family member in the admissions office. But I also heard from someone else that they should be online by today or Monday. So I’m perplexed… This is so nerve-wracking. Like seriously, let us know already. At least they should let us know when we should expect to receive the decisions instead of throwing out an infinite number of random consecutive days at the end of January claiming that’s when we find out. Oh well. I’m just waiting and checking periodically. Not too worried, but just antsy to find out! I was over at UMD yesterday…good times. I wanna go there so bad!!</p>
<p>hahaha yes Im headed up there today to see some friends tonight.</p>
<p>good times indeed!</p>
