What's the regular decision process for University of Maine applications?

I'm thinking about applying to the University of Maine but haven't decided on the application timeline. Does anyone have details on their regular decision deadlines and how long it takes to hear back?

The regular decision deadline for the University of Maine is rolling until March 1st. That means, unlike most schools with a specific date, you can apply anytime before March 1st, and the admissions office will review your application soon after they receive it. Do keep it in mind, though, that it's always better to apply earlier to ensure there are still available spots.

While the University doesn't have a concrete timeline for decision notifications, applicants typically hear back within a few weeks from submission. Essentially, the sooner you apply (even under Regular Decision), the sooner you're likely to receive your admission decision. So, if you've got your application ready, it may be a good idea to go ahead and submit it.

Don't forget that, once you receive your decision, you'll have to commit to the school by May 1st (also known as National College Decision Day) if you decide to attend.

During this period, ensure you've compared and considered all your options, weighed financial aid packages, and visited the campus if possible. This will help you make a well-informed decision about where you'd like to spend the next four years. Good luck with your application!
