Good luck, everyone! They sent out notifications the last Friday in January last year; I can’t remember the time but it was late afternoon. We were in the same boat this time last year, so I feel your pain. The anxiety over admissions is unbearable, but disappears once you see all your options and choose a school. My son is a very happy freshman at Smith and the time and effort of the college search was worth it.

lol any wagers on decisions not coming out today? anyone anyone?
having bad feeling about Coalition, most new apps never work or serve right as planned
Thanks @mettsgrrrl My son is hoping to get into Smith today. So anxious!
Start checking around 4:45. Is there still the glitch with the housing app on the portal that if you saw that your chances were good you got accepted.
@NusaDua what “portal”? This year is completely different. Supposedly, we get an email, which will direct you to the Coalition Application which will post the acceptance their. I do not believe anything gets posted to the UMD admissions site - but who knows! It’s a big mystery…ha
housing app on coalition portal?
@TaraGmez It comes out today between 4:45 and 5pm ET unless there is some kind of glitch with the Coalition. So maybe a 15% chance there is a glitch??
Thanks Dawgs
I think they fixed it last year but everyone was going crazy a few years ago. It was on the page that showed the progress of your application.
I don’t think it is today
Are you guys 100% sure?
Do URMs really get a bump comparable to a non-URM applicant?
@87Dawgs says who?
@taragmez It definitely helps
In the other college my son applied to on the coalition there is no “checklist”. That is exclusive to UMD so it would make sense to me that the decision will be posted the same way as the checklist.
@jwatkins A reliable source. I can’t say, but I wouldn’t stick my neck out (like a terp) unless I was really confident 
Go Terps!
Of all the schools he applied to, UMD, then Smith really looked at him holistically. He had good stats, but I don’t think it was the only factor. It’s a great community - a small school within a large school - hope you get good news!!!
