This topic is a sincere request to those who have got an offer from Maryland for pure math. If you have an offer from a high priority (than Maryland) school, please decline your offer at Maryland as soon as you are able. This will definitely help some of us. Thanks.

It would be of great help to some of us if people who have gotten offers from higher ranked schools withdraw their offers from Maryland

Did UMD sent out their waitlists?

No. Only acceptances.

Do you guys know if UMD has already sent out all their offers or if there is an official waitlist?
I contacted them asking about my application, and they said "the review process is still ongoing." Does that mean I am waitlisted?
Also, did the open house at UMD already pass?

I thought they were done but I also emailed them this week and received the same answer as you did. What I understood from their email is that they are not done accepting students.

I don't want to scare anybody, but I had emailed the associate grad chair. He had initially said that I was 'high' on the waitlist and there was a good chance they would be making second round offers.
I emailed him again yesterday, and the response was a much somber one. He said that there are no current updates as of yet and there's a chance that like last year they may fill all their slots with just first round offers. So I really do not have any hopes as such and this was my only waitlist and only remaining option so cheers to me!!

You could expect a waitlist only if a school have already distributed rejections. No rejections have been distributed from Maryland, so I think it is not a sign of waitlist.

To anyone who received an offer from Maryland: if you do not plan to attend, could you turn down your offer?

I was told by the director of graduate studies that I was in the first group of consideration on the waitlist, yet they did not have enough declination from applicants to send out a second round of offers.

This can help students like me a lot. Thank you very much!!!

I have gone though a really tough and serious decision process, but I have just declined my offer from Maryland early this week, hope this will help you!
