@lampshade24 I have the same stats as you but I don’t see housing ): (I’m OOS)
UMD Admissions just tweeted “@ApplyMaryland: SamTheJewNawy The dining application is added to all portals in waves regardless of decision status. So nope, it doesn’t mean anything!”
@britbratg scholarship info comes later in the mail. I think Feb or March.
@britbratg I posted this info in the FWIW thread to give u a sense of sequence…of course things may be different this year but that was what had been done in the past
@Njrunner: I remember reading that they said the same thing last year, but I feel like we’d at least be on the 2nd wave of housing/dining apps by now. Has anyone seen it appear on their portal recently? Most of the people have had it since Friday…
@nuhsgrad it’s all a cover up (IMO) just to make sure students dont jump to conclusions until official documentation is released.
Yeah, I agree. If this thread alone already has 400+ posts, I’m sure they’re getting inundated on twitter with questions about decisions. Tbh if I was an adcom I’d probably say the same thing just to get everyone to shut up.
I’m in state. 3.2 UW, 3.8 W, 33 ACT (34 with superscore). I have the housing thing. But I didn’t notice it until today, so I may have just gotten it? No idea.
Not a cover up. I am not an adcom. I was the one who first pointed out the glitch on this forum. I also pointed out it didn’t mean anything other than it was a sign that admissions decisions would be released shortly.
They’re obviously not going to come out and say that the housing glitch means you’re accepted… it could it or it could not, I doubt anyone actually knows for sure, besides them
@Njrunner I guess that’s good news for people without it! Although I have to admit I’m slightly disappointed that it isn’t a sign of acceptance. Oh well, I guess only time will tell.
I still don’t believe it means much of anything, I just don’t think it was something that they planned on sending out in “waves” to everyone, especially when it says for admitted students only.
I can only imagine how many students would call admissions saying “I got rejected, but my portal has a housing agreement for admitted students, what does that mean.” I know I would if it was me. I honestly think it’s their website messing up, but obviously they don’t want to reply with “yeah, it’s just our website glitching.”
I don’t know if this was brought up but is it possible that it’s alphabetical?
It could be. My last name begins with a B and I got the glitch on the first day.
My last name starts with a letter in the lower end of the alphabet, and so does my first name. I have the housing app on my portal and have had it since Friday. I doubt it, unless they’re going backwards haha.
It could also be in order of application submission? But I submitted mine rather late (Oct. 29ish). It’s probably completely random as others have mentioned.
Yeah my last name is in the second half of alphabet
Adcom Adcom, how I love thee
You and you alone, can admit me
In your hands is the power
Will the news be sweet, or oh so sour?
January 26, and I’m losing my mind
Any word at all, sure would be kind
SAT, ACT, and GPA
I tried my best, i hope it’s ok
To College Park, I want to go
Such a great school, and President Loh
Dez and Melo, to them, amen
Goodbye ACC, hello Big Ten
As the end draws near, one last hurdle
Please oh please, let me be a turtle!
Adcom Adcom, I am a mere mortal
For the love of God, update my portal!
What are the chances decisions are released today? Also, does anyone know if UMD ever defers, or do they just usually accept or deny?
@terpmom7 This.
Beautiful. @terpmom7
