does anyone think it will come today merely because UMD wants to 'surprise us"? :)) i dont think so but i have had other people tell me so :))
@SJAB12 Don’t get too excited, I highly doubt they will come until Friday
Someone posted earlier on this thread that last year notifications came out on 1/27, which was a Friday
Yes - she’ll get an email pointing her to the Coalition Application Portal where (I think) the decision will be posted.
UMD Website says :
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. Follow the instructions listed in the email to view your admission decision online. 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.
It’s getting close to Feb 1. I’m super anxious. Everyday I check my mail to see if I get anything. 
sooooooooo are we suuuure that it couldn’t possibly come out today I just have a weird feeling that UMD wants to catch us when we least expect it… OR I could be completely wrong and it’ll be like friday 
Nothing yet
has anyone heard back yet? aren’t results released in waves?
@ashley676 no they come out all at once
not today guys
Nothing lol
welp I guess I’ll see you all tomorrow
This is depressing I want the decision 
you all really think it’s gonna be Friday???
Someone please chance me for umd…I️ts my top choice and im basically freaking out. At this point, I’d be glad to get freshman connection, does anyone think I️ have a shot??
Sat-1230
UW gpa-3.48
Wgpa-4.16
Several aps and honors; did get Cs only in math but besides that an a and b student I’m super nervous and would love some opinions
@brennan29 based on last year and the Terp Bus on Sunday, I think it’s a safe bet that they will release them Friday
Before the Terp bus, some people were predicting Thursday 1/25
Does anyone know if priority has a higher acceptance rate than regular, or what the priority acceptance rate is for smith?
@Cw82200 I also want to know the priority acceptance rate.
The priority acceptance rate is said to be around 50%, but that changes by a point or 2, depending on the year. Also, that is likely going to be less this year as there was a record amount of Early action apps. But to answer your question, it’s supposed to be easier to get in through Early Action. As far as Smith, the average SAT score last year for Smith was 1440. They will not tell you their exact acceptance rate, but has said it is MUCH more competitive than just getting into UMD. So we can assumes it is well under 47%.
@blue2000 Your SAT score is a little low for regular, but many have gotten into Freshman Connection with those stats. Also, some have gotten in regular decision with those stats. It really just depends. Do you have any hooks? URM, First Generation etc.? Also, are you in state? All of that will boost your chances too.
