I think RD is nonexistent 💀

#

They accept everyone EA I guess

wild gust
#

Well, when do the rejections come out then

wraith sable
#

They will probably send out decisions by April 1 at the latest

#

That is what I think

#

The date is somewhere out there

stiff dome
#

Past years they released decisions exactly March 31st

#

I assume they'll do the same this year

wild gust
#

Alright, thank you

No date yet

jade hamlet

# heady whale So extremely competitive

Extremely, less than 1% even get interviewed (400/50k) and only half of those get full rides
Even more competitive if you're out of state since most are reserved for in state

When is it coming out noooo

tropic gazelle
#

No seriously when did it come out last year?

#

Correct me if I’m wrong but it came out March 31st?

#

4:58 pm EST?💀💀

wraith sable
#

For ea, not all the decisions came out at the same time

#

Not sure if it's the same with rd

#

The first decisions that came out were spring admission

#

Then fall admission came a few mins later

#

I assume deferrals and rejections came last

Anyone know if transferring into an LEP (engineering) from Letters&Sciences is guaranteed as long as you maintain your GPA & finish all the gateway courses?

wraith sable
#

I doubt schools are releasing decisions at night

#

look around 5 pm est tomorrow

stiff dome
#

i'm ngl i feel like umd wld just release them on the 31st

#

they dont care abt rd alplicants

peak aspen
#

Why didnt most of you do EA?

#

They accept like 90% during that. Its an open secret here in Maryland.

wraith sable
#

Always apply early

#

I did that with almost all of my schools

stiff dome
hidden sun
#

bro they have short prompts

#

it took me like 30min

#

im glad i applied, my best option rn

#

lol

stiff dome
#

yeah ik i did them in like an hour

#

I should've done it early but oh well

hidden sun
#

i put the least effort for this application

#

and ironically only got in here except 1-2 other options

stiff dome
#

I applied CS so it's either rejection or definite rejection

#

they give lots of schollys

#

ends up being next to free

lol yeah there's a LOT of intl kids there

#

Yeah their fin aid is amazing

hidden sun
#

all my intl friends got rejected though

Gl to you too if you have any schools left 🫡🫡

#

I still have yet to hear back from 1/3rd of my schools 😭

#

i only have purdue left

#

defered.

#

have no hopes, almost commited to umd

stiff dome
#

I mean umd for cs is like

#

insane

hidden sun
#

I have UW madison, umd, rose hulman and UF rn

stiff dome
#

all great options

hidden sun
#

likely commiting to UMD

stiff dome
#

I'd personally go uw-madison over umd but I just really like the staff and ec options

#

for like 90% of ppl umd is the better option

hidden sun
#

yeah

#

im from a hot place so -30C would be way too much for me

#

and other reasons like proximity to relatives in USA

#

umd my best bet

stiff dome
#

Yeah that's fair

#

Well goodluck nonetheless for Purdue tonight

hidden sun
#

both are academically equivalent as far as i have heard

#

cant go wrong between uw madison and umd i guess

#

should be fine regardless of what side the coin flip lands on

#

🫡

stiff dome
hidden sun
#

🫡

#

also UW madison letter says they expect good academic performance

#

and i kinda effed up exams

#

💀 💀

stiff dome
#

I mean it can't be that bad

#

They're pretty lenient about that, basically just keep mediocre marks and you're fine

hidden sun
#

i see

wild gust
# peak aspen Why didnt most of you do EA?

I applied EA, and these guys told me that they hadn't received one of my high school transcripts one week after the decisions were out!! That also because I emailed and called them a million times, otherwise I wouldn't have ever found out they were missing one of my transcripts

Guys call them or email them as soon as possible

#

They probably haven't received one of your documents. That's what they said to me. I got tired of them(same thing happened in ea) and I had already committed so I withdrew

#

But contact them as soon as possible if you are really considering umd

#

anyone know anything about when aid packages will release

#

Also is anyone else unable to log into portal

umd gives aid?

jade hamlet
#

is there an admitted server?

#

also does anyone know if it's hard to move to computer engineering?

wraith sable
#

Considering that's its computer engineering and umd limits the amount of people they allow in each engineering major, it will probably be difficult

jade hamlet

Meaning on top of meeting the requirements for transfer, the selection process is still really selective.

which is pretty fucked, they just changed it this year from 1000 slots to 100
