<p>I applied to UMD in mid-October and they received all my information by the end of the month. When should I expect an email regarding my admission?</p>
<p>Is it rolling or is there a specific date?</p>
<p>It is not rolling admission.</p>
<p>Admissions decisions are made “by” January 31st, is the phrase if I’m not mistaken. There were a lot of rumors last year about knowing a few weeks earlier than that…people called admissions, or they knew someone who knew someone, yada yada yada. Despite all rumors, decisions were indeed “by” January 31st - by a day or two before that at most! Frustrating, yes, especially when all those who applied to schools for EA or ED hear by Dec 1st or 15th…hang in there.</p>
<p>It is interesting how long it takes some schools as compared to others, regardless of size, which would obviously impact the process.</p>
