Does anyone know how difficult it is to get in as a regular decision applicant? I have applied for undecided and my GPA is a 3.5 with 30 credits. I unfortunately could not apply priority because, I want to be able to send in all 30 of my credits to them. If anyone knows any info on this I would appreciate it!
from what i hear, it is infact difficult because of the spaces left. alot of people that get in applied by the priority deadline. that doesnt mean you cant get in. it’s simply my understanding of how it works
@ marisa fellow MC student here as well. i think your chances might depend on high school grades and SAT since you didnt have 30 credits completed when you applied. i wonder if being in MTAP might help you get in. I personally never applied for MTAP even though my major is a LEP.
Are you guys ready? We should be finding out if we are in or not within the next couple weeks!!!
I heard we should find out by the end of this week future terms
Terps *^
Really? I was told to expect a decision by the 15-16th but knowing this week would be awesome! I’m so nervous!
hey guys, they said that the regular decisions get a decision notice in july. is that true?
For regular decision transfer applicants I think thats true, because the deadline isn’t until like June 1st. But if you applied by the priority transfer date (Feb 1) you should hear back by mid-April (so like now haha)
Trust me…Now is EARLY April. I can imagine you WOULD hear on the 14th or so…not likely by the end of this week. My daughter is too nervous to keep checking her portal, so I’ll just monitor here and wait for one of you to tell me the decisions are out. 
They tend not to release until really at or before the deadline (and last year was the 16th). You MAY get the housing contract on your portal a few days before as they begin loading the decisions in.
Well now im just nervous lol
Lenmonster is absolutely correct about the notification date. I suppose it’s possible that they release decisions early, but highly unlikely. When they say mid month or late month, they mean it.
Good luck to all of you waiting. I hope you all are official Terps very soon!
Can someone please call and ask them, I am too worried and anxious
I’m so nervous. I’m trying to transfer here from the University of Miami because UM is really not giving me what I need for pre-vet.
I’m trying to get into the animal science major, although being Biology here at UM. I have taken Calc 1 and Calc 2 and an english class and currently have 45 completed credits (Will have 62 after this semester).
My GPA at UM is a 3.44, I got at 3.98 this fall’s semester. I got a letter of recommendation from my Cal 1/2 teacher and sent my ACT and AP scores (32 and all 4/5s) along with my high school transcripts (4.23).
I honestly don’t know what I’ll do if I don’t get in. Miami is really limiting me in my field and I really need a school like Maryland.
(It is also instate and both my parents went there).
I got in as a freshman, I just declined. Hope they have space to accept me again.
I’m SURE you’ll be fine.
So last year they could see the housing link glitch on the 10th and decisions were released the 16th so we’re getting there! hopefully no more than a week until we find out!!
I saw on the UMD admissions Twitter that we should hear something by the end of next week. I’m getting anxious…
Darn I was hoping it would be earlier than the END of next week, but at least we are getting closer each day.
They said “end of the month” last year when people inquired, and it was the 16th. Seriously, not to get everyone’s hopes up, but I’d expect basically the 15th or so.
Well the 16th is my birthday so this is either gonna be a great birthday present or a realllllly sad day haha
