So I just realized that there was an in states residency form. I completed it today. It says "The completion of your In-State Classification form DOES NOT affect the status of your application." So this won't hurt my application if I turned it in now when I got it completed like in August 2nd right?
 
Congrats on the interview! 🙂

Have you, or anyone else, actually gotten an email or some kind of notification of when your application was complete?

I had an e-mail once I completed my secondary and then used the "status" bar to make sure everything was received. No e-mails until the II after that
 
Really hoping the interview day ends on time, I have to get a flight out of DC at 7pm because of work the next day. Wish there were more flight options to the West coast.

Anyone know if the school is receptive to pre-II update letters? If so, what is the preferred way to submit them?
 
Got the "we have received your secondary and have begun to process it" e-mail 8/12. Haven't heard from them since...
 
Congrats to those who were accepted through early decision program. My interview is coming up and I really want to get accepted here.🙁
 
Been complete since 8/12 and haven't heard back yet... is that a bad sign? I know according to last year's thread UMD casually sends rejections via mail.

Do you think UMD will release admission decision on 10/17? I know they said it usually takes around 4-6 weeks (or earlier).
 
I hope so too.😳 They only interviewed around 60 students so far, so I don't think it will take them too long.

Wait only 60? Out of ~550? I guess there is still hope for me even though I feel like I have been passed over since I have been complete since mid July.

Yeah! They interviewed Early Decision applicants in September, and started interviewing regular decision folks in mid september. I was complete late July and received II 2-3 weeks after.
Anyways, I wish you the best of luck!:joyful:

Do you think we're going to hear back via snail mail or email? I've heard snail mail but I called last week to get my address changed and they said that all correspondence will be sent with email.

The regular decision people started interviewing in Sept- I received my II the first week of August and the first dates available to me were in mid September for RD. I interviewed on September 26th. But here's to hoping we'll hear something next week!! Does anyone know if we will get an email in addition to mail? It says they will send an email on their website
