In case you haven’t seen it…
Yes I’ve seen it ?. And most likely will lose $400 if this doesn’t go as planned.
My daughter is! @Leaddog
How much time if any did your son loose? Is he going to graduate later than you planned?
Has your daughter heard anything yet? My son is still waiting…
@Allecto was your question intended for @rocklandmom ?
Applied to CS, but was offered an admission to
Major: Letters and Sciences (4901T)
Advising College: Division of Letters and Sciences
Also I was admitted to Perdue University, major CS.
Is it worth continuing with UMD? Any thoughts?
@momzilla2D my son called this morning and the admissions staff took his info and said tgey would look into it. Everything was complete but Coalition is stting his scores didn’t report until 12/1 when they were sent in October. They told him if it was an issue on their end tgey would resolve it but if it was College Board then he will be put into the RD pool. Lots of kids from our HS had sinilar issues.
Thank you @cvillemomof5 Seems like there are some kinks in the process. Is this the first year UMD is using the coalition app? D’s going to try to call UMD with her GC tomorrow. Seems like her GC is blaming the coalition app, too, something about it not accepting them submitting the transcript as EA because technically it was priority, not EA.
So, I don’t really understand what they told your son in terms of them resolving it if it was their issue. What does that mean? They’ll rush thru a decision for him?
@momzilla2D - It is not the first year using the coalition app. I don’t know how long they’ve been using it but that’s how my daughter had to apply last cycle. My dd had glitches with the LOR. Terribly user UN-friendly.
For all those having issues, did your checklist show that everything was in? I know my son’s updated within a week. We were very careful to check all portals after he submitted.
@momzilla2D I think UMD is new to Coalition but not sure how new. The admission folks made it sound like if the issue was on their end we would get a decision earlier than the RD. They said they will send an email once they look into the issue. Good luck and post if your daughter gets any new info.
@collegemom9 In my D’s case, I don’t know whether she didn’t check, didn’t notice, or it changed, but looking at it now, it looks like her transcript wasn’t received until 12/6. I had access to her portals, but not the Coalition app. The only other school where she applied with the Coalition app had a portal, and there were no issues with that one…in fact, she was accepted there (JMU). Now the question is Why wasn’t her transcript received until 12/6?
@collegemom9 my son only had the 100% complete on his Coalition page until Friday when the checklist appeared for the first time. I am assuming it should have shown the checklist prior but being new to this we assumed 100% complete meant just that. No issues with any of the other schools he applied to at the same time, just UMD.
Thanks @cvillemomof5 Good luck to your son. Hope he gets good news soon. I’ll let you know where things go with my D.
@collegemom9, @cvillemomof5, and @momzilla2D My daughter got two emails back from UMD admissions. The first one was an automated response and the second was from an admissions officer who said that her application would be reviewed and she’d have an update within 7-10 business days. We have no reason to believe that any of her submissions were late. They were all marked as received in October.
@marcymar That sounds promising! Good luck to your daughter!
@marcymar So it sounds like you or your student never checked the checklist. I know it’s too late now but they are there for a reason and would’ve shown you when each item required was received. The portals are there for a reason. The Coalition shouldn’t have sent a compete email but it’s on the students to watch their checklist also.
@marcymar mine shows 100% complete and all dates shown are well within deadlines but no decision recd. as well. OOS. As mentioned in another thread its possible its released in batches. If you get your decision pls update. Thanks
