As of right now there are still dozens of people at both Complete and Ready for Review and Committee Ready. These statuses simply mean that the applicant is in the pipeline for a decision. If you are not Rejected or Wait Listed (and there are appli...

Different strokes for different folks - both campuses have their advantages. I don't think you can tie teaching quality to location. The Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching award has been awarded three times, Two out of three were to Shady Grove f...

I do not know - they are releasing them in batches as final decisions are made. Not all decisions have been made and they are not being made in alphabetical order.

There is no specified number. Wait List people are qualified and would get an offer once a seat is available. It is defferent every semester - it just depends on the quality of the applicant pool and how many of them turn down our offer.

It should not make you nervous - there is a long way to go yet. Rejected applicants have been notified although I don't know if all of them have. Once all the seats are filled the remaining applicants will be wait listed. As each applicant turns d...

About half the total number of seats have offers out which includes all the partnership students have been made as of yesterday. More will likely be made today but I have no idea how many.

Provisional admit simply means the last transcripts for outstanding courses have not yet been received and it applies to both traditional and pathway students.

What that number does NOT tell you is how many of those 400 will be rejected, how many were not serious and did not even finish their application, how many will reject our offer and how many will lose their seat because they got a C in their last pre...

It depends. I can tell you that if you are Provisional Admit as of right now, a B- will not cause your offer to be rescinded. But a C probably would, especially in a science course. Don't cut it too close!

They will release decisions when the vast majority have been made. A specific date cannot be predicted. It takes 8 to 10 weeks, on average, after the application deadline.

Committee Ready means your application materials are complete, have been triple-checked, and are ready to be voted on by the admissions committees. Your application at this status will stay that way until a decision about your acceptance into the pr...

They really want academic references. If you look at the form for references you will see the checkboxes at the bottom which indicate what information they are looking for. Basically we want some evidence that you are capable of high quality academ...

If you are a Provisional Admit and you receive a C in any course, your file will be re-examined and a decision made on a case by case basis. Deferrals are granted for extenuating circumstances only.

1. No, there are still openings on both campuses that have to be filled. 2. That's the goal. But there are things out of anyone's control that can change that. 3. No it does not. Committee Ready means they are currently under consideration. ...

SSIP sessions are Baltimore students and include guided group class registration. Shady Grove students get the same content as in SSIP sessions at their Orientation and can register as soon as their Approval to Register form has been approved by Kat...

The first round of decisions is not over for either campus - decisions are still being made. Only a handful of students for either campus has sent in their deposits and confirmation form and are now official students in our system. It is possible t...

That is an admissions decision. Can't help you there.

I do not know when the letters were mailed but it was likely this week. If you don't have yours by Monday, I would email admissions. In the meantime, you can go to the link for Accepted Students on the UMSON website and start working through the ch...

Neither campus is full - I'd say only 55% of the total offers have been made and not all of those will be accepted. We have a way to go. I would not be surprised if they work over the weekend.

What you want is that letter so you can sign it and send it in to officially accept our offer. It's like a contract. They also need the $400 deposit. When admissions has both your acceptance form and the deposit, you are official and can start set...

It works out to between 2 and 3 applicants per seat available. That does not tell you much of anything because a significant percentage of applications are still out there incomplete and will probably be cancelled. There have been a very small numb...

Less than half the number of seats on both campuses are filled at this time. I have no idea how long it will take to finish the first round but would guess it would take at least two more days.

What happens is that the status changes are done first as they are the quickest ways to get the information to the applicants. Once almost all are done, the admissions staff start to call the applicant to congratulate them on their acceptance, talk ...

Congratulations! Admit Institution means you have been accepted with no outstanding prerequisite courses. Right now admissions is just under halfway through changing the statuses so we have a few days. Once they have posted a substantial enough nu...

Of the total 170 seats for both campuses, only 34 statuses have been changed to either Admit Institution or Provisional Admit. (Provisional Admit means the students have not submitted final transcripts.) So they are just getting started. They are ...
