Official UMD Priority Class of 2016 Decisions

Nuplex · January 29, 2012, 11:01pm

I'm not dissing the other official thread. I give credit to herewegocolleges for the original thread. However, it was made early and got filled with irrelevant replies as well as confusing posts about what format to use to post decisions.
So this is the official thread now! Or rather the cleaned-up version of the original.
** Reply to this thread ONLY when we get decisions **
