OMG I hope they come out next week too, because I also have to let other schools know of my decision (UMD is my top choice).
@doreenshanay how many credits do you have?
Oh you shouldnt worry! I havent heard them reject anyone with a great gpa like yours. Usually if u have a 3.0 youre good… Right now I have 35 credits and after this semester itll be around 45. They usually look for people who have finished math and english so youre fine! @jakel26
@doreenshanay I have the same number of credits too, so we are literally in the exact same position! When do you think we’ll get a decision?
I checked last years forum and they got their decisons around the 14th of October. So my guess is hopefully next week. I have a feeling that if you got the housing link then you probably were admitted in. So look out for that! @jakel26
Ahhh! I hope its next week! Fingers crossed… Such a painful wait. @doreenshanay
Might these dates also apply to those who applied past the priority deadline? I really hope I don’t have to wait until like December because I applied in late August…
unfortunately, if you did not submit your application by August 1st, you are not considered priority and you are put in regular decision. You will probably recieve your decison in Mid-December and sadly its more competitive to get in @protist
@doreenshanay I submitted mine on July 5th. That means I should get a notification soon, right?
Yeah anyone that submitted their application before the August 1st deadline should be getting a decision hopefully by next week since that is sort of considered to be Mid- October. But it could be the week after we just have to wait and see! @jakel26
@doreenshanay I’m so excited! 
I am so nervous!!! Fingers crossed for everyone!
Let us know if some of you get the housing and dining link! Thank you!
For people who don’t know what the link looks like:

Omg thank you for that I was worried I wouldnt be able to find it on my portal! @JKQPPD
I haven’t gotten a housing link… when should we expect to see that?
Next Tuesday or Wednesday I guess
@JKQPPD you don’t think it will come this week (as in this upcoming Tuesday/Wednesday). Especially since this Friday is considered to be “mid October” ?
@jackl26 haha, yes, I mean this upcoming Tuesday/Wednesday.
It’s cultural difference, In China, we regard Sunday as the last day of the week, thus I say NEXT Tuesday or Wednesday.
But In America, you guys consider Sunday as the start of the week, so you say THIS UPCOMING Tuesday or Wednesday.
@JKQPPD I can’t wait (:
