Haha okay thanks

Did you happen to submit your application earlier than the Jan 15th deadline? I wonder why I haven't received mine yet.

My UMD app also changed to "Under Graduate School Review" yesterday. Should be soon since the Open House is generally end of March.

Does anyone know if the Admissions Committee is open to giving feedback for rejected students?

I applied for the IDEV track with Energy, Resources, and Environment (ERE) being my second choice concentration. Originally, SIPA was my first choice going in to the application process, but the more I learned about SAIS and met with current students, it is now at the top of my list. Every SAIS student or alumni I've talked love the school so they are doing something right. I also went to the Taster Lecture, which I thought was fantastic, and did the optional interview which hopefully works in my favor. Anxiously waiting for Friday!

You've already heard back? Are you an international student by chance? I'm anxiously refreshing my email inbox if they have started to release decisions.

Just got the rejection email. It was definitely a far reach, but still had some hope. Congrats to everyone!

lol

Just got accepted! But no funding.

Definitely a hopeful here too! I have a really low chance, if at all. I don't know if anyone did the Jackson Admissions Chat in December, but I remember the Admissions staffer mentioning that the average GRE score is in the 75th precentile. That was a huge shocker for me, so I guess their selection process really comes down to who has the most unique experiences.

Oh, that makes sense. And no, I applied for the MPP program in College Park. Good luck!

Has anyone heard from UMD yet?

I applied for International Development Studies. Getting anxious over here!

Does anyone know when Elliott will release decisions? The website said 4-6 weeks after submitting your application, and I applied January 5.
