@coryjoma - Honors/Scholars/LLCs will be included in the Admission Decision. It will be in the first sentence. Merit scholarship information will not be included. Merit scholarships will probably be sent out in Mid-February
Another piece of information that is included in the online admissions decision is the “advising college.” This information is important for students that applied to a LEP (limited enrollment program). If a student is admitted to the LEP, the advising college will reflect that with the corresponding school (i.e.; A James Clark School of Engineering for engineers, Robert H. Smith School of Business for business majors, etc).
However, if the advising college is listed as “Letters and Sciences” then that means that you were NOT admitted to the LEP that you applied to. While of course things may be different with the Coalition portal, the advising college information used to appearnat the very bottom of the acceptance page and was not immediately apparent to students that did not know to look for this. The Letters and Science advisors are specially trained to guide students that would like to apply again to their LEP of choice, after matriculation, as an internal transfer student.
The admissions decision information is followed up by snail mail/hard copy letters. There are multiple letters that come within days of each other - a separate one for admission, one for honors/scholars, one from your advising college/major, and then several weeks later (mid to late February) a letter will arrive with merit scholarship (if any).
Wishing everyone the best in the admissions process! Fear the turtle!
And, btw, there is a Terp on both the Eagles and Vikings teams…Torrey Smith on the Eagles and Stefon Diggs on the Vikings…
Based upon what I saw online. Coalition App doesn’t have a PIN for login so maybe this is pre-Coalition App info…
Q: How will I know when my admission decision is available for review?
The Office of Undergraduate Admissions will send you an email to notify you when your admissions decision is ready. When you receive this email, you can view your admission decision online by logging in to the application portal with your PIN and password. For security purposes, please note that we cannot reveal admission decisions over the phone.
If you are offered admission to Maryland, you will also receive a general welcome letter from Undergraduate Admissions in the mail a few days later.
Q: What information is included in my admission decision letter?
If you are offered admission to Maryland, be sure to review your electronic decision letter carefully as it will include details on your semester of admission, your major, your university ID number, and your residency status. Students admitted for the fall semester may also see information on any special program you have been invited to join. Later, you will receive a general letter in the mail congratulating you on your admission and welcoming you to Maryland.
For admitted students who applied by the Nov. 1 Priority Deadline, financial aid decisions will be released electronically by April 1 and merit scholarship decisions will be mailed by April 1. Admitted students who applied by the Jan. 20 Regular Deadline are not considered for merit scholarships. You can view your financial aid status online and visit the Office of Student Financial Aid website for more information.
Good luck everyone!
