The attached directory can be used to find email addresses for relevant people in admissions. If you read back in this thread on and after 1/29/22 you will see responses from other people who did not get decisions when the EA decisions were released and there were varying reasons why. However all were able to get in touch with someone who explained the specific reason affecting their decision.

@RBD @TAK26 yes regular decisions are out. If your portal does not show a decision you need to reach out to admissions to find out why.

The portal lies. Itâs as simple as that. The people I know who have had the most success have a parent call or email a specific rep in the admissions office. I have heard of school college counselors getting involved as well. Iâm sorry that it comes to this. The portal is simply not a good indication of whether UMD actually considers an application to be complete.

Thanks for all the help and advice! We were finally able to speak to someone on Monday and they confirmed, like many other studentsâ applications, it was a glitch in the system on their end. Yesterday we received email confirmation they had all the necessary documents to review her application and she would receive a decision within 7-10 days. Much to our surprise, this afternoon she received her acceptance.
Thanks again!

Fantastic! UMD really, really needs to fix the âglitchâ in their system and improve communication throughout the application process.

What is the best way to find roommates?
There is probably a Facebook group for UMD Admitted (or Enrolled) students. You may have to search for it

There is an Instagram page for the c/o 2026 that a lot of students are using.

During the Virtual Admitted Student Day session we attended, ResLife representatives said there would be a web-based âRoommate Finderâ period from 6/6 - 6/24. Not sure exactly how it works but I will be checking the UMD site then since Iâm not on FaceBook and neither is my DD.
Also if you are in a LLP (Honors, Scholars, Carillion, etc) you may want to check with the program administrators, since they may set up âmixersâ to help students meet each other in order to find a roommate within the program.
Thank you! Good to know, since we are not on FB.
