If you apply RD are you still eligible for financial aid?
UMD says on their website that the kids who apply RD aren’t considered for scholarships, but they might give need-based aid…
yes I mean need based aid
Just make sure to submit the Fafsa app on time
They are definitely trying to hype us up because all of their social media accounts are posting every day now.
My HS counselor just emailed everyone who applied to UMD, saying that results will come out on January the 27th at 4:45pm.
Is anyone able to confirm that?? I haven’t heard anything about the release date of decisions
Obviously admissions isn’t going to publicly say that but if it’s hat exact of a date or time, it’s probably correct.
Just expect your answer on Feb 1, and anything sooner will be a bonus. Trying to guess the exact day and time, without specific info from admissions, is a fool’s game.
Because @acs116 is the second person to say that exact date and time, its probably right. Quit being the party pooper @STEM2017
@acs116 there was another post with that same information on an earlier page and the poster said they had contacted an admissions representative
Ok, ok @SM1234 Jan 27 at 4:45 it is!
I do honestly hope you are right.
Lol I’m just joking haha. But I really hope these two people are right… Can’t wait to hear back!
great! Just over 2 days wait…cool
Yes, every year, somebody hears it from an authoritative source with insider information that the release date will be a specific day. In the six years I have been reading this forum, it has never panned out. While I would love for this year to be the exception, I will just caution everyone not to get fixated on a specific date and time. Hang tough…
Good luck to everyone! It seems like the anxiety is building. I’m not even going to mention Friday as a possibility to my son. Still holding out hope for a miracle here!
Correct me if I’m wrong: but a tell tale sign that decisions will come out on Friday would be if the housing glitch is there I believe. After reading the housing glitch threads for UMD 2019 and UMD 2020, it appears that the glitch appears one day before decisions come out, usually early in the morning (like around 8am EST)? So if the “glitch” is there tomorrow morning, maybe that’s a sign? Not to get anyone’s hopes up on even seeing the glitch tomorrow, just an observation I made. 
@acs116 i can one up on that. Guidance counselor told me this morning expect a decision friday at 4:45. Apparently two waves are coming, one at 4:45 and one a little after 6-7. If it means anything, last year UMD released on the last friday in January, and my counselor has a sister at the board of admissions.
Yess!! Friday at 4:45 it is!! Everybody be checking their app status throughout the day Friday!
Fingers crossed - one of the top choices.
