UMD Transfer Fall 2015

Hello all! I am a student at a MD community college. I applied to UMD and had all completed documents in by 2/24/15. (The deadline was 3/1/15) But every time I check my application, the date completed changes. It went from 2/24 to 2/28 to 3/3 to 3/4. Now I am freaking out and thinking the 3/4 date is what the admission officers will see when reviewing my application! Ahhhh

hmm same situation here however my completion date was always march 4th but application was submitted by march 1st. im calling them up tommorrow to confirm if i made the priority deadline.

I am calling tomorrow as well. I asked a few people and this is happening to them also.

That’s normal. It’s a quirk with the portal. It shows the last time you logged on. It happens with all of the applicants.

Same thing happened to me but luckily they received my college transcript right on March 1st

It says this in the bottom right corner of the application portal:

In addition, please note that our system updates daily and the application status completion date noted at left reflects today’s calendar date, which may be different from the actual date your application and all supporting documents were submitted.

Dont worry your fine

Ohhhhhhhhhh! I did not even see that! You are amazing! Thanks for being so thorough and reading everything. ^:)^

No problem good luck with your application!

My application was received March 14th but I turned everything in Febuary 11th

Does anyone know if they really wait until mid-April to send out transfer decisions to students who put in their transfer applications before or by the priority date of March 1?

Yes, they do. Do not expect it earlier. Last year, all transfer decisions of applicants who hit the priority deadline were released on April 16th at the exact same time. You MAY be able to tell a few days earlier…if you get a housing contract link, which through a glitch, shows up early…it’s a pretty good indication you were accepted. Haven’t seen a single case where someone had that who got rejected.

i get much more nervous as the days go by :-S

I’m so anxious too! I hope we all get in!

Haha I know its crazy but luckily time just seems to be flying by! Hopefully we can all get in!

When I think about mid-April, I get that same feeling I had when I was a kid and I thought about Christmas! I am so excited, nervous, anxious and impatient! I just want to hurry up an be here all ready.

where would we see the housing contract link? if we don’t get in can we just apply for the regular deadline? i currently have a 3.65 gpa and I feel like i can get a 3.8 this semester

You won’t see it until a few days before the decisions come out (around 4/15). The applicants who just got in via the regular freshman deadline yesterday saw the contract only 24 hours before. What probably is happening is they are loading in the decisions one by one, and then ultimately making the link live all at once, and hence the glitch. I think if you apply by priority and don’t get in, don’t expect to be able to re-apply by the regular deadline, but I’m not 100 percent sure about that.

I’m hoping it does release early because I have a friend already at UMD that could pull me into one of the suites for on campus housing. It’s making me anxious every day and I just need to know :frowning:

Hello everyone!
So im a freshman and i go to montgomery college. After this semester i will have 29 credits completed.I plan on taking 1 more class during the summer. I got into the MTAP program. My current GPA is a 3,0 not including the spring semester grades. I am super nervous that i might not get in to UMD but i really want to transfer after this semester. what do you guys think?

I am pretty sure that if you do not get in priority there will certainly be enough time to apply for regular. You just have to create another portal account. If you have questions after your decision I would recommend emailing Keisha Bates, she has been very helpful in the application process. Her email is, kbates2@umd.edu
