UMaryland Class of 2019 Forum

this is getting really disheartening. I applied 1/14 and have been in review since 1/19, in-state and I haven't heard anything.

[tezzeret]

In via email this a.m. Applied 02/03, UR 02/08. For those wondering about the seat deposit date, the email I received this a.m. said 04/15.

Are you in-state? I went UR 1/21 and am OOS is why I'm wondering.

I am OOS UR 1/19 so I'm in the same boat.

[dcshawd]

would it be too much to call/email and ask what up with my application seeing as it's been "in review" for nearly two months? I'm just kind of worried that the same thing that happened to toetotoeonbirdlaw who had gotten that waitlist email two weeks late may have happened to some of the rest of us who have been in review since Jan. I actually want to go to UMB so I hope that's not the case

[tezzeret]

I wouldn't. I am waiting for 2 other schools that I applied to 1/6 and 1/7 respectively and still have not heard back from them yet.

oh okay true. it's just weird that people who have applied later than January have already gotten their decisions lol. I just hope there still hope for the rest of us

I can't even begin to figure out how people who applied after got in before unless they are going by numbers (LSAT/GPA) and working their way down. I will say this though, if the deadline is indeed April 15th, these people need to move their asses with decisions.

With regards to seat deposits, I was accepted back in mid-February and in my acceptance package 1st seat deposit date is listed as 4/1.

[alohalaw]

I guess my concern is how would paying my initial seat deposit impact any negotiations I have in the future?

I understand that paying the seat deposit, is essentially saying that I plan to attend the University. However I am still in the negotiation process. The admitted students day is at the end of the month, very close to the April 1 seat deposit date.... If I get another solid offer would I still be able to use that in negotiating with Maryland even after paying the seat deposit?

Yeah, I'm in-state, so that might've helped expedite things for me.

lol I'm in state as well...still no response since January

I was accepted around Mid-Feb and sent my FAFSA few days later; however, still no word on my scholarship info.
Am I like the only one having issues with finding out my $$ info here?

[WaitWaitDontSay]

Um....Maryland...please put us out of our pain please
Thanks

[tezzeret]

No kidding. I applied to 13 schools and this is the last one. Conversely, time doesn't really mean too much in the sense yesterday I got both an admit and a WL so who knows what to expect with these guys.

[popickle]

I was also accepted mid-Feb. Still waiting on any news about money...

But I think UMD is closed for spring break this week. I'm hoping for some news on Monday/Tuesday of next week.

Anyone have any luck emailing about scholarship info? Curious to see if that's helped move the process along.

I think just hearing back from them period involves luck. I've been in review for over 2 months...

I emailed a couple weeks ago and they said that they were hoping to get more awards out in the next two weeks, so there's that.

Scholarships, from what I understand, are determined by the Admissions Office. If you want, I'd try them and see if you have any luck there.

Merit based is from the Admissions Office and Need based is from the Financial Office. Anyway, direct phone call with the right person seems to be the answer

Anyone attending the open house on Mar. 29th?

[CJRpnw]

Withdrew yesterday. Throwing my award money back in the pool. Good luck, all!

March 29th? My acceptance email said admitted students day is this Saturday, the 26th, which I'll be out of town for. If something were happening on the 29th that'd be great, because I'm actually free to go then...

[tezzeret]

I've been in review since 1/19, at this point any response would be nice.

Sorry you're right. It's the 26th. I wish I had the opportunity to attend the one earlier this month, but I was out of town at the time. Kind of sad that this one is so close to the Apr 1 deadline.
