I think it’s safe to say that decisions will NOT be out on Monday. It’s possible that the impeding blizzard will force the school to be closed Monday also.
I personally think that decisions will be out Feb 1 for the following reason:
Last year, UMD did something different.
On the last Sunday of January 2015, a bunch of Admissions people and Testudo piled into an Official UMD Tour Bus and hand-delivered acceptances to 6 randomly selected local students. There were YouTube videos and it was written up in the Washington Post. They decided that they wanted to share in the excitement. This caused quite a stir here on CC with everyone wanting decisions right then. The rest of the decisions were released the next day at the usual time.
Here is a link to the Washington Post article last year
I think they are planning to do this again on Sunday Jan 31. and that is why they made the decision release date Feb 1 instead of Jan 31, the date from previous years.
This is just my opinion.
For all I know they may have been planning to repeat that this Sunday (Jan 24) but the weather put an end to that,
In any event, decisions will be out soon. Good Luck to All!!
