<p>i applied early, ive been awaiting a response, when do the decisions for early applicants usually come out?</p>
<p>Around Feb. 15. They will be posted online, and also mailed.</p>
<p>Just wondering, why is it so late? Most colleges are around Dec 15</p>
<p>Good question. My son had his app & supplements in before the end of September, so this has been a long wait at our house.</p>
<p>moonman157 - UMD doesn't actually have early action, the early deadline is a priority deadline. Additionally, that deadline is December 1, so it would be rather impossible to get decisions out in 15 days.</p>
<p>College Park doesn't have early action. It has priority consideration if you apply before Dec. 1.</p>
<p>oops cross posted</p>
<p>The website says decisions will be out by March 1 but in years past people heard around President's Day. As Misralz points out UMCP has a priority deadline not early action. Some schools with rolling admission do give an answer within a couple weeks (U of Pittsburgh was really fast) but that's not something that UMD does.</p>
