Seriously! its really unfair that some kids find out today and others dont, even though we ALL applied by the priority deadline!! no other school does that. they are making QUITE the statement with a UMD bus rolling into driveways of students who got accepted.
this is just way too nerve wracking. it is making so many kids border line insane just waiting!!
Yeah, honestly it seems like they’re not even leaving PG county. I feel especially bad for those OOS applicants who are being completely excluded. Obviously I know they can’t go on a cross country expedition, but…
It’s a cute idea, I hope this means they plan on releasing decisions for everyone today or tomorrow.
Who knows, maybe when they get back to campus they’ll release them all… They’re already working today, so it’s a possibility
But then they just said on Twitter they visited the last of 6 students and the rest of the decision will be out by the end of the month… So who knows
no they would not release on a sunday, i don’t think so at least. I’m betting tomorrow 5pm now
I would’ve doubted it too… and still do… but they all came in to work today, so I’ll hang on for a bit of hope
My friend was one of the students surprised by Testudo in the tour bus. She said they told her that everyone else’s decisions come out tomorrow! (This isn’t a troll)
UMD is so inhumane. We all know that you guys know exactly when you’re going to send the results – just tell us instead of teasing our lives away
Assuming they’re ready to release decisions if they have the time to notify people in person lol. Hopefully tomorrow
I’ve always found it odd how some colleges have very strict application deadlines, but then give vague decision dates. UMD is obviously not the only one (what does mid-December mean anyway?) but I honestly wish the date would be set in stone just to avoid this whole speculation process.
So I texted about 6 of my friends who applied. Me and 3 others who have over 3.65 GPA and over 1320 sat have housing glitch, but the other 3 who have around 3.3 GPA and lower sat don’t have it. Is it safe to say I got in. And what about my other 3 friends who didn’t get the link?
@terpfanforever Nobody truly knows. For the sake of argument, if we assume that those with the housing link are accepted to UMD for the fall semester, those without the link could be denied, or they could be admitted for the spring semester. But in reality, nobody knows if the glitch means anything, although the consensus on here seems to be that those with the link are likely accepted for fall semester.
@terpfanforever my uw gpa is 3.3 and i have it. Cant count on it being definitive
@terpfanforever: Honestly nobody on this thread has any concrete idea of what it means. Apparently, there were a few people last year who got no glitch but were still accepted. I’m not sure if anyone who did get the link last year was rejected. There’s also a chance that no housing link means that the applicant was put in Freshman Connection, where no housing is guaranteed.
Thanks for the input everyone, by the way is it true that decisions are coming out tomorrow? Im very nervous and anxious and just want it to be released already. Also if tomorrow is a snow day will the release be delayed?
@terpfanforever damn dude. read the past posts.
@terpfanforever We don’t know for sure yet. We know that they’re coming out soon. Some people think they are coming out tomorrow, others think Tuesday. The only thing we know for sure is that they’ll be out by Jan 31.
335 posts just speculating the decision release date. I bet admission officers would be laughing out loud if they saw this thread.
With all the excitement over the housing link and the terps bus and the videos of them preparing the decisions to be mailed, it’s going to really hit me hard if I’m rejected.
There’s almost as many posts as the decisions thread from last year - and decisions haven’t even come out yet! :-"
Does anyone know the significance of those students though? Or were they legit completely random?
