TTPB: I reached out to the program coordinator, and essentially AMSC runs an unspoken waitlist. They sent out first-round acceptances and rejections in Feb. Everyone else is on the waitlist, but they just don't explicitly say that. Admitted students have until April 15 to accept, at which point they will determine whether or not they would like to send out additional admissions. Either way, we should know at the latest by the end of April, if not closer to the 15th. Hope this helps the angst. I know I am tired of waiting too.

[Not WL] Application Status in the portal changed to "Under Grad School Review." Did anyone ever figure out what that means?

Ignore waitlist. Has anyone received admissions for MSCS? My status is still under review and I'm getting anxious.

Have rejected fully funded offers from these places. Good luck to the waitlisted candidates. 6a/3w/7r

[Not WL] TPB: Sorry for the late reply. I was told I was placed on the top three positions on Foster's waitlist and I declined it. As the other post below indicated, where he/she has declined the offer, I think you have a great chance! Good luck! As for UT Austin, I know they have made the initial offers but have no idea if they have completed the entire admission process. Hope this helps.

Email to check the portal. There was the most awaited rejection letter!

Rejected after emailing to inquire about application status.

TPB: Congrats. Do you think that only a few admitted students are received funding emails? Have anyone received any contact from Vickie Flecher or professor Boragan Aruoba regarding the waiting list? Too silent, is it normal?

Wait listed then rejected after interview. From my understanding they accepted 10 people and interviewed 38.

Declined the offer three days ago. Good luck to the wait listed guys!

Dear XXX, We are reaching out to see if you are still interested in a financial offer from our department. This is not a guarantee of an offer. We are preparing to make second round offers and would like to expedite the process by ruling out students who have already committed to other universities. If you are still interested in being considered, please email me back as soon as possible. Thank you. I've turned down the consideration as I already accepted an offer at NYU. So, best of luck to those awaiting a positive decision

People who are already accepted congratulations! If you have offered an opportunity at UMD ECE and have better offers please kindly reject as soon as possible, so that some other students like me are waiting to get a chance too. Good deeds will often come back to you if you do so. Thanks

Got the funded email last night. Excited.

1.5 years research, part of it as a post bacc research assistant. I already pretty much knew I was out, I think some of the big schools just waited til everything was in order to send out rejections (Wisconsin being a notable exception). Better luck nexy year! (I hope :])

Have any admitted people received any updates about their funding? Are they sending out fully funded offers recently? Thanks!

At last. The way they delayed sending rejections has seriously bothered me. This was the last decision I was expecting, so my watch has ended. Only one admission out of nine applications, all in physics.

It's about time. I feel bad being so negative, but this whole process has left such a bad taste in my mouth.

Please reject the offer, if you're not planning to attend UMD
