<p>For applicants who submitted their applications by the priority deadline, 11-1, any idea when UMd starts mailing out or posting admission decisions ? Thanks.</p>
<p>They send them out around the end of January, and I think info about merit Aid goes out in maybe feb? I’m not as sure when I heard about that, now that I think about it. And you’ll hear about need-based aid in March, i think. And of course, you still have until the national deadline to confirm, which is nice in terms of hearing early and having more time to decide :)</p>
<p>Thanks very much.</p>
<p>UMD on their website will state the actual date of release, typically if you check your umd web log in about 5 days prior it will pop up. BEWARE for the past 2 yrs it pops up for only a few hours and disappears again for days. I am guessing it is how their system works for inputting, and that as soon as all results are placed in it automatically disappears until the scheduled date. Typically, it also occurs during the school hours. I remember seeing the announcement on this site, texted DS at school for his UID, got in @10, by 2 in the afternoon it was gone. Luckily I had the brains to save the post as a screensaver for his computer.</p>
<p>Trust me, you will know this site will go on fire on that day.</p>
<p>Also, last yr there seemed to be a lot of kids that did not get results for several days (week+). The site will state at this time we have not made a decision.</p>
<p>Finally, last yr, there was a backdoor method that remained, but if memory serves correctly it was only for LEP acceptances…i.e if accepted to Honors you could find it, accepted to general, you couldn’t.</p>
<p>There is a thread somewhere here that gives instructions…go into the history and look @ end of January, 1st of Feb. It will have direct instructions…same is true come next Aug for room assignment through resnet…you can find out days ahead before the public release of the dorm and your roommate, not the room unless you are in places like Leonardtown.</p>
