@terpmom7: Never have I related so well to a work of literature!!!
@melaniexoxo: UMD doesn’t defer to RD, they accept for Fall 2015, reject, or put applicants in Freshman Connection. An admissions rep talks about it here:
https://twitter.com/ApplyMaryland/status/559712490662412290
For context, the tweet they were answering said: “@ApplyMaryland If you don’t get accepted for early is your application automatically put for review for regular decision , or waiting list?”
@terpmom7 seriously perfection
Does anyone know when the aid decisions come out? And did they expect us to submit the fafsa before nov 30? Cause I know it was only available after jan 1st…
Well we will find out if the glitch is just a glitch or what after decisions come out. It’s stressful.
I’m just saying if some people have it with high GPAs and high SAT scores and then kids dont have it with low SATs and low GPAs…it’s not random.
@satireonfire: They definitely did not expect your to file the FAFSA before Nov. 30th. Priority date for filing is Feb. 15th; it has to be filed and processed by that date. More info here: http://www.financialaid.umd.edu/policies/priority.php.
Not sure about the actual date of aid decisions. I’d assume before May 1st - maybe sometime in April?
I really think it’s going to be tonight! So nervous!
If we look at the trends, the past three years they have posted the decisions on the last Tuesday of January. So that means tomorrow most likely is when the decisions will come out.
SOS UMD decisions are supposed to come out today. Numerous sources have confirmed. Goodluck to you all
My son has the housing contract and went ahead and filled it out last night and submitted it. It was accepted and the portal now indicates that the application was filed. I can’t say how, but I am quite sure that we will be getting an email today between 4:45 and 5:00.
I tend to agree with you. I’m not sure that the glitch means anything at all. Why would it explicitly state that it is for admitted students only if only admitted students were the ones receiving it? That doesn’t add up. It is simply an addition to the portal. And I would imagine they are coming out tomorrow… The admissions staff is in no hurry.
Many of my friends parents called today and they said the decision is going to come out today. Also my admissions coubselor at school alerted the entire senior class that the decision comes out today. WOuld be very bad on her part of it didn’t come out so im 99.9% sure
I am kinda thinking why would they put the housing agreement on non admitted students. If everyone submits it even if they are not admitted they would have a big mess. Just thinking out if the box! Good luck to everyone.
@korboy, Yeah I get it, mine was incomplete until I called them. Apparently they had multiple accounts under my name, as in my standardized test scores were in a different account aside from my application information. So I wouldn’t worry.
too bad that wasn’t one of your essays!
where are people hearing that decisions come out today?
everyone has such good theories I can’t wait to see who is right! ;))
@melaniexoxo Some people have claimed that they know people who the Maryland bus visited and they said that Maryland said they’d release tomorrow. Another person (not sure how reliable) claimed that their friends and counselor called UMD and they said today.
@melaniexoxo Everyone’s just speculating, a few said they’re friends said people said… you get the idea. Previous years would suggest they’ll come out tomorrow, but some are saying they’ve heard they’ll be out today. Won’t really matter in the end. A week from now no one will care when they came out, just whether they were accepted or not XD
Do you really think they would just tell people when they called if they won’t announce it anywhere else?
hmm, has anyone called them?
