OOS, Illinois. GPA 3.9+ UW, 4.4+ W; ACT 34 (36 superscored); rank 13/461. Engineering. Offered Presidents Scholarship for $12,000 / year. This makes UMD affordable, and an even stronger contender. D17 is very excited!
@14wjs14 according to posts about past years, notifications are done by mail and show up online at a later date.
If i have not received a letter in the mail yet, will I not be receiving a scholarship?? Or should I just expect it to come a little later? I know my snail mail admission letter came two days later than everyone else…
From the UMD freshman admission decision FAQs page: “For admitted students who applied by the Nov. 1 Priority Deadline, financial aid and merit scholarship decisions will be released electronically by March 1.”
From post #2:
First, their twitter page says notification electronically by March 1.
Then their admitted students FAQ https://admissions.umd.edu/explore/freshmandecisionfaqs.php has it answered twice in the same document, once March 1, once April 1.
And then their merit scholarships page says mid March. https://www.admissions.umd.edu/finance/freshmanscholarships.php
Given the different dates, I’d call.
