Incoming class of 10-12 accepted from record application pool of 206, apps up 25% from last year.

Sort of an odd email. It said that I (and others not contacted earlier) should assume that we have inevitably been rejected, but that if we want official notice earlier of said rejection, they recommend that we officially withdraw our application. This has got to be the first time I've seen a request from a department that we make their job of rejecting us easier.

Funding details to follow--so thrilled!

rejected on march 12. found out from testudo. :(

Applied for the Ph.D and accepted for the MA (sans funding)...and the admissions season ends with not a bang but a whimper.

Limited or no funding for MA students this year.

Website status still says "pending decision." E-mail says that most MA students are unfunded.

Found out on website a few days ago.

Last chance for a program this year - if you're turning UMD down, let 'em know.

About two dozen people waitlisted, according to the email.

Another one who received the nicely worded email. I have three other offers for five years of funding, so I will not be remaining on the wait list.

extremely nice letter: "In a different admissions cycle, given your superb record of achievements, I would fully expect that you'd already have an offer of admission in hand" ... I hate this year.

Accepted 7; about 24 people on the waitlist. Would include 4 years of funding. I will be staying on the waitlist. Good luck to all.

An email from the mysterious "[email protected]" telling me I was one of two dozen who are "pending".

The second time is not the charm.
