So ridiculous! Still no info.

Almost all schools offer accepted students' days in Feb/Mar. Not many are waiting for RD to make decisions.

UMD significantly favors Early Action (EA) applicants, with reports suggesting up to 95–97% of the incoming class is admitted during the early cycle. There will be another accepted students' day on April 10.

It seems like the info will be sent tomorrow Friday

RD comes out end of Mar how can Admit Day be march 7?

Regular decisions isnt even out yet though?

This is accurate, they don't try (not on tours, not for admitted students days) because they know that people are clamoring to go there. It's fascinating to compare that with other University System of Maryland campuses that make these events a priority.

Very frustrating. My daughter went on the day after she was accepted and all slots were filled (for both events). She would love to attend!

Anyone has been successful in registering for the April 10 admitted students day event? We only managed to register for the 2-hour information event, but we don't see where to go for registering the April 10 event.

Last spring, the email with instructions for Accepted Student Day was sent out the day before the event.

Same.

Same. Registered but no information.

Anyone else know they registered but not receive any communication about it this week? Facebook parent forum says one student received an email with instructions but others nothing. Should we just show up at 8am?
