UMSON Fall 2014

PinkEagle · Apr 16, 2014

Well I called them and they flat out told me no! They said they don't give decisions over the phone or by email. I'll have to wait until my status changes online or I receive a letter....I'm still gonna wait until 4:30 to finally mail my letter at the post office. I'm super disappointed but what can I do.

I just double checked and it is the 16th. Maybe you will hear this afternoon!

That was poor wording on their part considering they make phone calls to give descisions. Oh UMSON - we're all just trying to make informed descisions!

I'm sorry about that! Good luck on your decisions, I'm sure it will work out.

For those that got the call already and might be waiting on their residency classification in the mail, I turned in my residency form with my application in January (thanks to a tip on here!) and called the Registrar this week since I really want to know whether I made in-state or out-of-state, and they were able to tell me. If that factors in your decision, it's definitely worth calling to find out sooner!

All this waiting that I'm waiting for....at this point it feels like I'm waiting for a rejection!

It feels like being a high school girl, waiting by the phone for her crush to call and ask her to prom.

If I were you, I'd just pay the $200 deposit right away. My brother did that for law school. He lost a lot of money in forfeitted deposits, but at least he had options.

However, if you pay the Towson deposit, make sure you don't have to withdraw applications at other schools. I know some schools expect you to withdraw other applications once you commit to them. If you don't, they can keep deposit AND withdraw offer of admission. I can't remember which school I heard this from, but I'd look into it if I were you!

Congratulations! It takes a long time to call everyone. You will get one!

But Grey Lady,

Just so I'm clear, even though my status still says "committee ready", at this point I'm just waiting for a rejection or acceptance phone call correct? I mean my application isn't still being reviewed by the committee right? I'm just concerned because there were major issues with my application so my TEAS scores weren't actually received until the end of February.

Still no change on mine either....

Em843 · Apr 16, 2014

I'm still waiting too. I can't imagine the status every actually changing..."committee ready" is burned in my brain!

kmorreale · Apr 16, 2014

Agreed Em, and PinkEagle, I too feel as though it wont be good news.

I cannot answer that - I am sorry I just don't have any access to that information. You might try to call admissions, but check your status right before you do.
