University of Maryland-College Park Class of 2021 Discussion

How do we check our decision, again?

No housing glitch here. My counselor is 100% certain that decisions will come to us on the 27th of January, at 4:45pm (for our school at least).

@CyberAndroid I hope your counselor is right for your sake. Counselors should know not to set expectations high, so I imagine he/she has good information.

@CyberAndroid What state do you live in? MD?

Yeah Idk how reliable Friday is. I hope we get our decision then, but I’m pretty sure everybody who’s saying that they emailed admissions and they told them they come Friday are full of shit. I emailed admissions and they said that they can’t specify any day and that I should rest assured that everything will come by February 1st.

They didn’t email admissions themselves… their counselors did. They’re obviously not gonna tell a student exactly when they’re releasing but they might tell a counselor… especially when that counselor’s high school has a ton of students who have applied and have yet to hear a decision. I don’t think they’re their full of **** @propuzoficj

@sml1234 Wrong. A few posts earlier said that they emailed admissions representatives who gave them an exact time and date. I don’t believe that. I expect that you are right, that they won’t tell a student, and as I was saying I hope that the counselor post is also right since I can’t wait for my decision.

@propuzoficj Excuse my Alternative Facts lol… But same I can’t wait for a decision, let’s hope we get them tomorrow

Haha yeah

The UMD Admissions literally posted on Facebook and said they were gonna get released February 1st.

Why is that so hard for everyone to believe?

@bbe267 No, no they did not. And it’s hard to believe because they have NEVER actually released on Feb 1 in any year past. It’s gonna be either tomorrow or Monday, since they might want to do the surprise thing with Testudo again this year (which would indicate a Monday release)

@bbe267 @sml1234 you are both kind of right. Yes, it is most likely that they will come out tomorrow or Monday based on past years, it is still entirely possible that they could be released on the 1st because that is their deadline. Their Twitter post, however, has no implication as to which day they are going to be released.

i hope tomorrow the anxiety and waiting is sooooo annoying

Well, either way, good luck! I applied for Fall 2017 transfer so I have a while to wait… mid-April

@bbe267 “By Feb 1st” does not mean Feb 1st.

Well good luck on your wait @bbe267 ! I can’t imagine waiting much longer than we already are…

I don’t know if this helps, but my guidance counselor also said decisions will likely be out tomorrow, the 27th. I’m sooo antsy and anxious!
UMD is my #1 school and I feel like we’ve been waiting for far too long, especially for early action (priority)!!!

Well @rebeccashira they make you wait so long for a good reason. Most schools that release decisions earlier are much less reliable, and will release them on a weekly basis in batches, while UMD will do everything in one day. I feel like this is preferable rather than waiting in suspense every single time a batch is released.

Hopefully they fixed the glitch and decisions are still coming out tomorrow

To everyone who is skeptical, this is the email our school counselor sent to everyone in the grade ( I am instate): “Results will be posted on Friday, January 27 at 4:45pm.” This is the only school he has sent admission decisions about, so I think it’s solid
