<p>I have a quick question. I noticed two mistakes on my application/activity profile and I notified the university with an email. They weren’t big, for one mistake was that I actually entered the the wrong year I started working for a physical therapy practice. It should have been one year earlier.
I also dropped a regular psychology class I had on my application, and I notified the university.
I don’t think that will make much of a difference… what do you guys think?</p>

3

<p>I don’t think it will. I really just want to get accepted and hopefully not get Freshman connection cause I probably would not go.</p>

4

<p>I don’t want to get freshman connection either! That’s what I’m really scared of! I just wanted to be admitted to the university for regular 2012 fall admission.</p>

5

<p>Just wanted to keep this thread at the top because this is where everyone will be posting decisions. I can’t wait!!!</p>

6

<p>I’m going to be coming back to this thread in a week or two once I’m notified of admissions decision. I got everything in at the last minute, but I think I just made the November 1 deadline. I’ll keep an eye on this thread to see when others start hearing.</p>

7

<p>Yeah everyone post decisions here!</p>

8

<p>When I first applied to UMD i didnt really care, but after visiting ive been waiting for this decision since october!!!</p>

<p>btw they lost my sat scores (collegeboard called them so its ok now) so if you havnt checked your app status, do it!!</p>

9

<p>One more week guys! We can do this! Fingers crossed…</p>

<p>i don’t understand how this works ^^^</p>

13

<p>^ Use the template in post number 1. (forget about post 11)
You MUST remove the spaces in the template to make it work.</p>

<p>For the top line,
[ size=+1][ color=green][ b]Decision: [ /b][ /color][ /size] , I prefer to color the actual decision. So you could change it to:</p>

<p>[ size=+1][ b]Decision: [ color=YOURCOLOR{red|orange|green}]yourdecision[ /color][ /b][ /size]</p>

<p>And you would put your decision between the color formatting blocks. For example:</p>

<p>Decision: Accepted
or
Decision: Waitlisted
or
Decision: Spring Admit
or
Decision: Rejected</p>

<p>Since this is to be the Decision Thread, DO NOT make any more posts here other than your DECISION. If you want to discuss your decision, start a new Decisions Discussion thread, …
Good luck everyone.</p>

<p>Quick question…What is Freshman Connection? And why don’t you want that? Thanks</p>

15

<p>@nymomof3boys Freshman connection is a program where you get admitted for the Spring semester instead of Fall. You can technically go to UMD for fall semester but you have to live off campus (there are apartments nearby, and a lot of freshman connection students live together) and take classes from 3pm-9pm only.</p>

<p>@plumazul
Why forget my post? It was used in last year’s decision thread and is more specific than the one in post one. All you do is copy and paste, tell the decision (With the colors and format you said) and fill in the information.
EDIT:
NEVERMIND. Forget what I said, I’m just anxious. This is from 2010. and much more streamlined (Like plumazul said w/out spaces) :</p>

<p>I went to the Undergraduate Office and they said they would send the decision today. I have checked my email all they long, but I haven’t got anything. Has anyone got decision yet?</p>

19

<p>Today today or today Saturday? Today seems highly unlikely.</p>

20

<p>ononhe the officers at the office of undergraduate admission told you this? they sent them out today? you mean via mail? maybe we all will receive the online decision tomorrow then…!?!</p>
