@hotdog1234 Your stats are a bit lower than Maryland’s average. However, if they look at you holistically you may have a chance. Best of luck!
Anyone know what time decisions will be released? After midnight?
@cml123 I’m expecting by 7 p.m. tomorrow. Is there any chance decisions are released next week instead?
@sd458829 - never say never but I am voting on tomorrow night 5pm or later based on the last two years. Good luck! Not much longer to wait!
Just to confirm, I live in Maryland and it used to be super easy to get in in-state. But now it’s gonna a lot more competitive, and not a safety for most. They’ve been taking in-state students with higher score and out of state with lower scores based off of the people I know that go there. It’s competitive regardless, but hopefully this somewhat helps?
@mountainmomof3 Ahhhhhh I am so nervous! I already got into University of Richmond with a presidential scholarship but UMD is definitely my top choice
I get it! My S19 loves UMD but a lot has to go his way for him to be able to attend. Luckily, like you, he has a back up plan with lots of merit. I am sure you will be fine! 
@mountainmomof3 Ahhhhh I’m so nervous! I already got into University of Richmond with a presidential scholarship but UMD is definitely my top choice.
@sd458829 unless things have changed a lot, I cannot imagine you will not get in to UMD if you got a presidential scholarship at Richmond. Are you applying to an LEP?
@collegemomjam I am applying to Smith Undergraduate Business.

Hope he gets in.
The chance me’s are even more nerve wracking in my opinion. I was told that I had about a 30% chance of getting in and I did. Some of my friends were certain they’d get in and ended up getting rejected. College admission has very little rhyme or reason to it. You don’t know what’s going on behind those closed doors. Anything could affect the process from the person looking at you to the applicants they looked at right before you to how many people they see that year who have similar stats as you. Just relax and don’t take it to heart too much what random people are saying on the internet. If you love UMD there are options if you don’t get in. Community colleges in the area have the MTAP program where you can automatically transfer to UMD after 30 credits and having above a 3.0.
Does anyone know the appx time it came out in previous years?
I think it came out around 4:45 last year, but people had trouble logging into their accounts.
I was going to say it was around 5 pm last year but it took nearly two hours for my daughter to finally be able to access the coalition app where the decisions were posted.
Can someone chance me?

If you are awarded merit or financial aid will you find out tomorrow?
