UMD College Park class of 2022 EA discussion

For early action i beg to differ. This is the only one i’m waiting for and i’ve heard back from every one of the other colleges i was accepted to before christmas.

@LHBCollege Are you sure that letters were shipped out on 1/20?

What schools were those @caul211? We’ve applied EA to 3 flagship stateschools and we’ve heard from the other 2 in January. The only EA we got before Xmas was a small LAC. Maryland and other popular flagships get a ton of applications to process…

Georgia, Ohio State, Vermont, Indiana are some examples of schools that released EA decisions in October and November…

Good question @BlurryFishButt. If they did send letters on the 20th, they might want to hold off sending decisions electronically till these letters have arrived… The ‘snail-mail first suspense’ tactic used by some schools…
In addition to calling MDU admissions, let’s now also harass our mail carriers!

anyone think it will come tomorrow?

no

Nah. It will come on friday.

Smart money is on the 25th

My guess it’s going to be this week Tuesday or Thursday.
Tuesday cause it’s reasonably close to the bus event of Sunday. Thursday cause the admissions office people don’t want to release on Friday.

Good luck to everyone here!

@WilliamNYC just curious, why do you think they dont want to release on friday? idk why i just thought that friday was like a standard and usual day for colleges to release decisions

Cause nobody wants to have a 5pm task to do on a Friday @SJAB12. Not even admissions officers.

And also cause when you plan a major event on a Thursday, Friday can be your backup day. And in case things go very horribly wrong you can fix whatever is broken over the weekend. Can you tell I’m in IT and have done quite a few switch-overs? Lol.
Seriously though, nobody but the admissions people know. In Admissions We Trust…

@sss111222 2hours and 50 minutes left until what?? Where are you getting info on this countdown?
I’ve not received anything yet…

@CSinPA it was a false alarm. Everyone thought it was coming out yesterday at 5pm eastern so they were getting pumped for it.

Ohio State University only posts decisions on Friday’s so I don’t be that to be true.

Maybe schools like to drop the news on Friday afternoon so it gives families getting bad news 48 hours to potentially cool off before calling Admissions. :))

So is it today??? What do we think?

Doubtful
