Regular Decision
Mar 27 ’26
Dates marked announced come from the college itself, with the announcement linked. Dates marked expected rest on the evidence named right next to the date — that college's own release history or the timeline its admissions office publishes — and the label switches to announced only when the college says so.

Official timing straight from the school: Maryland admissions.
Maryland states its timing as a promise tied to each deadline: apply by November 1 and you hear by February 1, apply by January 20 and you hear by April 1. Early action is non-binding, with May 1 to decide either way.
