Due to the snow storm I think it’s safe to say theres going to be a delay probably til wednesday or thursday
This might be the case. I’ll let you all know if they email me canceling classes.
We’ve been getting a lot of false alarms here in MD - news will say snowfall and then we get glorified rainslush or nothing. I’m kind of hoping that’s the case this time. I think this is the one time I’m NOT hoping for a snow day!
@Vctory Thank you so much for you past and current posts. The housing link thing has been a huge downer for some of us who don’t have the link. From do I not have it because I am an in-state student to a question as to whether or not the LEP thing means I got in. It would have been nice if the glitch had been fixed. In this day in age of technology, having access to a forum like this makes some of us a little antsy, because whether you have an edge or not, you are still left feeling more stressed than we need to be.
I’m confused. What LEP link are you guys talking about? What does it say? What do you think it means?
My S has an ‘Application for a Limited Enrollment Program- For currently enrolled UMD-College Park students only’ link that showed up on Fri. along with Dining and housing link. No idea what it means… completely agree that given the glitch has been around a while, some steps could have been taken to avoid so much speculation and heartache.
@kennie2015 No problem! The LEP link’s been there since the beginning, if it’s the “Apply to LEP (current students only)” or something to that effect. The housing link doesn’t mean much, but hopefully you’ll find out your decision on Tuesday (or Weds/Thurs, weather permitting)!
@harperharper see above! It should be for internal transfers only.
Um, what date does it say your guys’ application was completed in the portal? I submitted back in November, but it says it was completed yesterday. I did go and relook at my application, but obviously couldn’t change it because it was already submitted.
Not to worry @r1111j… That happens every time I log in.
That’s really strange… why does it do that @Ericthenewyorker
@r1111j that I can’t answer, but it means nothing. 
There’s a little paragraph on the bottom right of the homepage that explains it, @r1111j , I worried about it too!
So the conclusion is the housing link probably means nothing? I have it, but I definitely don’t want to get my hopes up. :-S
Admissions is goingn around in a tour bus with testudo and notifying random students that they got in. Can’t do a link for some reason but check their Twitter/Instagram @ApplyMaryland
@roasted36 That’s so cool! I feel like we must be hearing asap now.
hmm is it possible that it could be today?
Also is it just maryland? im assuming so BC the pictures are like a few minutes apart
My bet is they planned on doing this Monday/Tuesday when they were going to release admissions but are driving around now because of the snow in the forecast
I don’t think it was really a completely spur of the moment thing tbh, the first kid they visited was wearing a UMD-red sweater - almost too good to be true. I know I don’t dress like that on a Sunday for no reason, haha. I’m still in my pajamas. Could be church attire, but I have a feeling they contacted them beforehand and just didn’t give all the details. But, maybe I’m just cynical.
It’s still a cute idea though.
They definitely call them beforehand— it would be a waste to drive up to a house and having nobody be home.
