To the person who asks about the departmental website. It is the one to which you log on with the ID given to you by the department when you were first asked to upload the supporting departmental materials after finishing off the official website stuffs. There is also an application status check menu there. But I don't think that the menu will actually reveal your status. Rather, it is highly probable that you might also find that you will receive your decision letter in two or three weeks since a decision has been rendered. Well, good luck anyway.

I got an email that urges me to submit financial documentation to further assess (?) my application. The official application website indicates my application pending while the department website saying that a decision has been made. Well? What are they doing there?

thanks for the tip!

No word on funding. Thanks for the website info guys!!

I've been waiting on MD too and went to the testudo site mentioned by a previous poster--and I'm in! You'll need to go to testudo.umd.edu/admissions/ then click on "Graduate School Application Status" to see the decision. There is no mention of funding decisions there.

To the Maryland poster below: if you go to testudo.umd.edu, and look at the fields that say "former student access" and enter your full social in the first field and birth date (mmddyy) in the 2nd field you can get to it that way.

To the person who heard about Maryland online. Where online did you get your info?

No funding info yet though

Accepted, but on the waiting list for funding. If you're not going to Maryland, please let them know soon. :)

Full Funding for M.A. and Ph.D.!

Decision was posted 3/24/2007. Still waiting on NYU and U of Washington, which look more and more unlikely by the day.

No funding info given.

Not recommended for admission

Anyone heard anything about the PhD program?

Admitted off the waitlist with 4 yr TA-ship starting at $13.5K

I emailed them and was told I was on an "informal waitlist" and would hear on or about 4/15
