Reflection and General Comments: UMD is a great school. I kind of wish I would have applied under a different major, as I doubt Philosophy will be what I actually stick with. I’ve applied to numerous other schools, but Maryland is the second best financial option. No decisions yet, but I will be visiting in the coming months. Also, was invited to COllege Park Scholars.</p>

<p>@KingFaisal: Log in. See the page that says Message Center on the left. Scroll down to the very bottom of page. There should be a link to your admissions decision.</p>

<p>I read on another thread that decisions were rolling out between 3 and 5, and being done in alphabetical order, so it could just be that you have to wait a bit longer, if your last name is far back in the alphabet.</p>

<p>Hope you find out soon.</p>
