@wondering84 - According to the UMD Admissions website, decisions will be released “by Feb 1”

Decisions usually come out several days before that. You will get an email telling you to check the Coalition portal for your decision. Last year decisions were released on Jan 26.
By State Charter, UMD is required to have a Freshman class that is about 70 - 80 percent in-state.
For Engineering, here is an FAQ
“The Clark School of Engineering receives approximately 3,000 applications each year from talented students who have been admitted to the University of Maryland. Engineering is a Limited Enrollment Program (LEP), and due to class size restrictions and other resource limitations, is not able to admit every student who applies to be an Engineering major as a freshman. As such, the Clark School will typically only admit between 1,700 and 1,800 students each year as direct freshmen admits.”
These are 3,000 who have been accepted to UMD
UMD will probably get 35,000 total applications and accept maybe 12000 - 13000, with 4000 or so, actually enrolling
