Anyone get any acceptances yet? The website says “by Jan 31,” so that could be any day this month, right?
No. Not any day. The very, very end of the month. The earliest has been the 28th, if I recall correctly. They usually mean on Jan 31.
Everyone finds out on the same day. Every year there are rumors of the decisions coming out early. Someone knows someone in administration yada, yada, yada and gets everyone hyped. Do yourself a favor. Don’t buy into it.
The only reliable indicator I know of is there is a “glitch” that SOME people will note in their accounts whereby a link for housing will appear a day before decisions are released, and I cannot tell you whether or not that glitch has been resolved or not for this year.
Having said all that, given the title chosen for this thread, I would like to suggest preserving this for the actual decisions and not general discussion…? Three weeks… hang in there, and best of luck to all.
@maryversity your right it says the decisions are coming out on the 31st. btw @avijan15 chill out; I’m sure you have semester exams right about now. My advice is to study and before you know it the results are out.
My friend called admissions today and they said that answers will be given out on the 20th
^Really @ging23 ? I don’t know if I’m emotionally prepared for them to come out that soon
Literally same umd is my top choice right now @roasted36
Are the decisions mailed or emailed?
What about Scholars and Honors? When do those notifications come? How? By email or snailmail?
@Hornet82 Forget where I read it but I believe it’s part of your acceptance letter.
UMD will send an email telling applicants that the decision is available on your UMD application portal. The email will not say what the decision is. Everyone will get the email at the same time (probably 5 PM). The online decision will also indicate Honors or Scholars acceptance. Based on observing this UMD forum for the past 2 years, I personally do not thinks that the decisions will be released before the 29th. Good Luck everyone!
Maybe they meant decisions will be finalized on the 20th and then sent out around the 29th??
@all January 20th is the deadline for Regular decision applicants and January 31st is the decision day for priority applicants (stated on the UMD website). As maryersity said UMD tends to give their answers to priority at the end of January. 20 days as of now. Best of luck to you all!!

If you call the admissions office like I did, they do tell you the 20th. I still find it hard to believe since all websites say “by January 31st” or “by the end of January” and in past years it has been the 29th.
I’m a freshman at UMD now and I’m also in the scholars program. Last year, the decisions came out on the 28th and my acceptance letter also included the acceptance into the scholars program, it just comes in one letter. I would say to be ready on the 28th just in case.
@cjw1997 Did they definitely say that we would be notified on the 20th?
@Matt846 they said they would start sending out notifications to check out our admissions decisions on the 20th. I don’t really know what they meant by “start” sending notifications so not exactly sure when it’ll be.
Given prior years, the 20th seems really early. Don’t be shocked if they actually don’t come out on the 20th.
Do you guys think I’ll get in? 3.6 Weighted 1680 IB student. In state, varsity baseball captain, MUN, NHS, Green Club, Student mentoring?
It would be awesome if it came out on the 20th. I always love it when stuff happens early.
Does anyone know when we hear about merit scholarships?
