UMD College Park class of 2022 EA discussion

@Momoftoooo i also thought it was coming out this friday the 26th, till i saw they did the terp bus yesterday. the year they released decisions on the 26th, they did the terp bus later. normally, they let kids know the day after they do the term bus because it wouldn’t be fair to let some kids know sunday and have the rest of us wait two weeks.

I don’t think they are coming today

I think we will definitely hear by Friday at least

@iwanttogetintocollege yea they did but they posted it the day of the term bus arrival so that could mean something.

what a terrible idea to do it on the coalition portal honestly. what was wrong with having their own portal

@Mason135 I thought it meant something to at the time, but I guess not

Also as far as where they will be posted, on the Coalition, under colleges if you click on the part that says checklist, there is a section that says application status, so my guess is that is where we’ll see it.

Not happening - revising my prediction to this Friday.

@zzzzzzzzzzzzz UMD seems to like to separate itself and be different from other schools in the region

Well it’s 5 now so I guess I will just check back in tomorrow lol

nothing. oh well

Why do we have to take this torture ughhhhhhh…

Guessing it will be friday. Oh well :frowning:

yeah check back tomorrow

What an anticlimactic experience this.

Tomorrow people. Same place, same time. Lol

I’m feeling a Friday, 1/26, 5pm email. Anything before would be surprise. While the bus was tease, it just seems the new process with everything going through the Coalition App is not going to accelerate the decisions… but, I’m just guessing at this point as is everyone else!

this is honestly ridiculous. i don’t know why umd waits so long considering decisions have been made weeks ago. the people terp bus visited, their parents have known for two weeks now. I have other options and decisions to make. some deposits open up february 1st get the best housing options.

Agree - it’s the housing at other schools that have already opened up where the wait becomes frustrating… At least Florida allows you to register for housing pre-acceptance to be in the queue.

@caul211 it’s not because a handful of people have been visited by a bus that all decisions were nailed down weeks ago. They simply could have picked a couple of sure bets to visit while the rest was still being looked at.
We applied to 10 and have received decisions of only 3 so far. UMD’s target date is not unreasonable.
