<p>Some of my friends who applied by the priority deadline have already received their acceptance decisions. Anyone else?</p>
<p>no kidding...........already??? My d. got her acceptance letter today from UMBC but I thought College Park mailed theirs later. My other d. goes to College Park and works in admissions so I will ask her what's up. Thanks for the info!</p>
<p>yea even I have got ma acceptance letter from umd...I got it 3 weeks back</p>
<p>u r kidding rite?
umd is mailing the admission decisions for everybody at the same time.
and they already said that it's gonna be mid january-mid february.
it's impossible that ur friend got it yesterday.
or he actually meant it was umbc???</p>
<p>lol thats impossible... maryland said early notification begins (for early action applicants) on or around Feb. 15... you sure your talking about COLLEGE PARK and not BALTIMORE COUNTY??</p>
<p>Ok im gonna clear this up once and for all. UMBC sent out letters on Friday Dec 15th and mos tppl got them in the mail on Dec 16. College park will notify people usually online on FEB 15 th or so. No one has letters from college park yet</p>
<p>Thanks for checking with your reliable source, marylandgirl. We're all eager to hear what she says.</p>
<p>So I asked my friend if she meant UMBC instead of UMCP. Turns out she was talking about College Park. However, she accidently applied for the Spring 2007 semester which is why she was already accepted. Sorry for the miscommunication!</p>
<p>haha akhullar07 u really scared all of us here lol~
anyway it's okie.=P
good luck to all of us~=)</p>
<p>i just clicked on "check your app" and it still says no decision available but for the first time when i click on "confirm your enrollment" it says to confirm for spring 2007. does EVERYONE have that screen now or does it mean i was deferred to spring admissions? VERY WORRIED.</p>
<p>yes every1 has that screen worrywart.. you really are a worry wart :P... no offense hahahah</p>
<p>I admit it; choosing my screen name was a no brainer :0[</p>
<p>hahahaha nice one</p>
<p>just so everyone knows, i asked umcp office about deadlines month or so ago, and here's what they said back........
"Our first decision letters for priority applicants will be mailed on the first of March 2007, 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 need based awards come out by the first of April. Because this is not an early action program, all admitted students have until May 1, 2007 to confirm their enrollment. Once the letter has been mailed, you may see a decision online."</p>
<p>MARCH 1??????? wuts up with that?? they said february 15 for priority decisions... ughhhhhhhh</p>
<p>that is a long wait...umcp is my #1 choice right now, and i really wanna find out if i got in. and march seems so far away, ahhhh</p>
<p>i know seriously... they call it priority decision... but its anything but.. if it was so "priority" we would have had it by Jan 1...</p>
<p>Considering for a fact that they have a priority deadline that is pretty late for a priority deadline. I think they should get the applications out by February 15th just like how universities do for their EDII deadlines which are usually around the same time as UMD's priority deadline. </p>
<p>March 1st is too late.............uhhhh now i have to wait till march for my first decision. This sucks.</p>
<p>Yeah, I was talking with all my friends about this. It's like, *** is up with UMD, getting apps in Dec. and decisions by March. Lame. It's not as bad as the UCs, though. They want all your stuff in Nov. 1, and decisions don't come out until the very end of March. Such is the case with big state schools with a lot of filing, I guess.</p>
<p>Basically "priority" is like RD and RD is for lazy procrastinators or for people who have no intention of coming and apply just for the sake of it.</p>
