I've applied to UMD as a transfer student under regular decision. Does anyone know if the results notification dates for transfers differ from first-time applicants? Trying to plan my next steps!
While each university handles transfer and first-time applicants differently, most universities release transfer decisions after first-time regular decision notifications. This is because admission committees typically prioritize first-year students and early decision/early action applicants before focusing on transfer applicants.
The exact dates for the University of Maryland (UMD) decision notifications may change each year and are not typically published. However, based on previous years, first-time regular decision applicants usually hear back in early April. Transfer students often receive their decisions a bit later, typically between late April and early June.
Remember, these timelines are estimated and may not apply every year or to every student. It's always a good idea to check your applicant portal regularly and to reach out to the admissions office if you have specific questions about your situation.
Now, while you're waiting on your decision, it might be a good idea to start organizing any loose ends at your current institution. Make sure any current coursework is on track, and if you're attending a community college, you might want to reach out to a counselor there for assistance with planning your possible transition.
Best of luck with your application!
