Thats it :)

Haven't gotten an e-mail or anything, but on AADSAS it says offer made for Maryland! I'm assuming that means I'm in?! (Correct me if I'm wrong) SO EXCITED

YAY AADSAS updated to "offer made"!!! I haven't gotten an e-mail but this means acceptance, right???? One of my absolute favorite schools, I feel so blessed and relieved!!:D

Same here & happy as a clam because of it!

OFFER MADE! So thankful! Congrats everyone.

Maryland!!! Yes!!!!!!

I also got offer made, but I haven't received an e-mail yet! SOOOO EXCITED!! One of my very favorite schools :D Has anyone received the official e-mail...I want them to send it ASAP haha. :luck:

Got offer made and also received email an hour after!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Accepted!!! Can't wait to meet everyone!!! :laugh::love:

Offer made

My AADSAS page still says "Invited for Interview"....does this mean that they have not updated it yet or am I wait-listed....so much anxiety with not knowing :confused:

Mine too. I'm freaking out internally right now at star bucks :(.

when is the next time Maryland will send out acceptances? :confused:

i'm still waiting for some kind of email from them as well. Mine still says "invited for interview".. and i actually called them today to see what my status was, but all they told me was that it's still being considered and will let me know. But they didn't specify when they will... I guess we just have to wait

I was accepted this morning!! It is my #1 school!!

Has anyone who interviewed on November 22 been accepted? I am wondering if they have gotten to our round of interviews yet to make a decision

"offer made" and acceptance email yesterday!!!! :)

Don't get too excited about beautiful facility about Maryland. Maryland will kick you in the butt. Avoid Maryland at all cost coming from a D2 student there.

me too! predent25 did u interview pre- or post- december??

I believe present25 is too busy celebrating at the moment, so I did a little research. Predent25 interview on Nov. 4th.

According to previous cycles, Maryland will have a few more big acceptance days in the middle of Feb, and beginning of March, and beginning of April. The school should also be notifying who's on the wait list starting late Feb. (All this are from SDN, not sure how reliable the source is).

I interviewed pre-Jan, and status is still 'invited for interview'. If it happens, it happens. :cool:

Sigh guess today wasnt my day :-/

Oh yes, you are so observant. :) Here you go then, he interviewed 3 years ago, and finally got in the 3rd year.

There's still time, JustwantDDS and nolimit500. Treat yourselves to a cup of hot chocolate.

The school must like you to offer you an interview. I know people who got accepted one or two days after the interview. I speculate what happens is that (1) someone spots something sparking in your application (2) invite you for a chat (3) send the whole application to the committee for another review. [I paid attention to Dean Meehan's presentation]

What happens then: (1) If they like the whole file, you are accepted the day after interview for post December 1st interviews; (2) if they like your file, but not that much, you are accepted on the next big acceptance day starting from December 1st; (3) if they are indifferent about your file, they will put it aside for now until someday someone picks it up again, most likely after another few interviews rounds. [Pure speculation]

The good thing is that you are already half way there after the interview, the bad thing is that you don't know where you are exactly, the ugly is that you are waiting anxiously.

Sigh guess today wasnt my day :-/
Just keep your head up. There are several big admissions days left. I've been chasing this dream for 7 years. So believe me, I know how the anxiety feels. But when you get that email, it'll all be worth it!

Disagree with Theory #1. Adcoms are way too systematic to impulsively send out offers of admission. I think the only way people are accepted that soon after their interviews is if they happened to interview the day of/before the committee meeting.

You are probably right about this.

Now, what happens to the people who didn't receive acceptance after the committee meeting? According to present.com, some pre-dec interviewees were accepted in mid-Dec, and mid-Jan. Does the committee pull out the all interviewee files (including the previously undesirable) and re-evualate everyone then? :nod:

I'm in!! Got the email yesterday at 10:15am :D

Yeah, for those who weren't outright rejected after interviews, they were probably categorized into "possibles" to be re-evaluated after various deadlines. These deadlines would include offer acceptance, deposit, and AADSAS filing dates. State schools have to be especially careful about reaching their quota of residents, so my guess is that many mid-competitive OOSers are put into this batch.

Auuugh whatever the process is i wanna get in!!!! Im in state!!!

Are you in-state? When did you get interviewed?

Any ideas on when the next major date could be ?

Got a request to fill out a supplemental today. Are they still giving out interviews and how much of the class is filled?

Rpatel- i interviewed jan 10 and i think they said about half was filled... Last yr i interviewed feb 2 and they were sorta deep in the cycle... So tbh its hard to tell

Rpatel- i interviewed jan 10 and i think they said about half was filled... Last yr i interviewed feb 2 and they were sorta deep in the cycle... So tbh its hard to tell

I know at least one person who put his deposit down, and he's not going to submit his second deposit on April 1st.

Fingers crossed

predents.com shows 2 acceptances on feb 16th, was that one of their big days?

The 16th was one of their acceptance days. I assume this because thats when I received my acceptance.

Has anyone called lately or know how many seats are left or filled as of today? Anyone know the next big acceptance day?

Ive emailed and all they said was still under review.... Sigh :(

I was invited for an interview on Feb 29. The e-mail said this is the last interview session.

Submitted my deposit, and officially accepted my offer, one of my top choices

Submitted my deposit, and officially accepted my offer, one of my top choices

Congrats! Are you in-state or out of state? When did you interview?

can everyone who's accepted/attending please try to update predents.com so the rest of us can get a better idea of how many seats are still open?? :o:xf:

Anybody from jan 10 intv hear back?

Has anyone been accepted recently? Is the class full? does anyone know???

Just notified by e-mail that I have been wait-listed. Says the next deposit date is April 1st, so I may hear something after that :-/ I've never wanted anything so badly in my life! :xf:

:( does this mean the class is full?

I have no idea :( Maryland is my only chance, all my efforts are going into just hoping now!

When did you interview?

Good luck DonFernando! The next month or so may make me superstitious.

Wait listed on 3/6... Out-of-state :xf:

Does anyone know how many people get wait listed? Is it everyone that interviewed or just a select few?

got the wait list email today! I hope their wait list isn't too big...at the interview she made it seem like you have a pretty good chance of getting in when you're on it...I really want to go here :xf:

That is good to hear. I don't think anyone at my interview asked about the wait list, or at least, it didn't come up that I remember.

got the wait list email today! I hope their wait list isn't too big...at the interview she made it seem like you have a pretty good chance of getting in when you're on it...I really want to go here :xf:

Good luck everybody! Reeeaaally hope to see you in August.

I got waitlisted too

I was waitlisted on 03/08:( I will be praying for good news come April 2nd

Got the waitlist email today. Unsure if I'll stay on it. Loved the school

Waitlisted :(

I'm sure majority of people getting accepted are from out of state. All the people i spoke with that got accepted post February were out of state students.

Btw, I got wait listed too. Im in state.

Im in state :-/ cmonnn md!!!

@soosoolhastam when u interview??

Alright guys, lets break this down. People wait listed have two chances. One is the coming up deadline of April 1st. The last one is at May 1st. Is there anything i'm missing?

Has anyone graduating in May recieved an offer to Maryland?

Also, Has anyone got a wait list email subjected wl-1 like previous years?

People wait listed have two chances. One is the coming up deadline of April 1st. The last one is at May 1st. Is there any other date you guys know of?

To all those who were waitlisted...Did the subject of your email say WL? or WL-1? according to previous years the subject of the email was different depending on the waitlist...

mine was WL

mine was a simple wl. I wish more people were active on this site.

Mine just said WL too.

Whats the difference between WL & WL-1??

Mine says WL

Dr. Meehan told us that approx 20-25 people come off the waitlist every year between march and the start of the semester. She didn't mention instate or oos preference. Hope this gives you guys some hope. Good luck.

Wow.. that's a very promising number. Good luck to all on the wait list.

Did anybody wait listed get their aadsas status changed to wait list?

Nope still says invited for interview. Whats the diff btwn WL and WL1

http://206.82.221.135/showthread.php?p=9540807

I'm OOS and my email just says WL.

I don't think they sent wait list emails with different subjects this cycle. They must of got endless phone calls about them. That's just my thought.

me too! I just hope to hear something very soon!

Has any one been waitlisted recently? Post march 8th

Any updates

Has anyone been accepted off the wait list? Are you instate or out of state?

When is second deposit due?

April 1st. We should hear people getting accepted before the first.. meaning next week.

I hope so!

So a few questions.
Anyone know how many people get on the waitlist, when people start hearing and how many get accepted off of it?

Phone call from Dr. Meehan on 3/29... Accepted off waitlist.

Are you instate or out of state?!

Congrats! Did you receive an email as well??

Are you instate or out of state?!

Out of state.. And yes I received an email.

Thanks for responding bro.

Phone call from Dr. Meehan on 3/29... Accepted off waitlist.
Just wondering after you were put on the wait list did you send a letter of intent? Or did you just confirm you were still interested in the program and wanted to be placed on the list.

and congrats!!!!

Congrats! Would u mind sharing stats?

Never sent letter of intent but kept them constantly updated on my ongoing research.

Congrats! Did you also email then a lot?

I kept in touch.

I emailed and they said they cant provide status updates via email :-/

I emailed and they said they cant provide status updates via email :-/
Just curious, what are your stats? You always ask for everyone elses, just curious what yours are. If they are above avg, then I would say that there is still a chance. Send a letter of intent. It can't hurt.

3.4 cpa, 3.1 sci gpa, TS/AA/PAT 21/20/19
Yeapppp i already know that the 3.1 is an issue .....

I've called & emailed several times, so maybe I'll try the letter of intent.

Have all waitlisters already been accepted after people didn't submit deposits? Or is the committee still meeting?

soosoo,

did you also call the admissions office?

I can't say i did.

Soosoo's dad is a part-time faculty at UMB so its an easy access for him.

Have all waitlisters already been accepted after people didn't submit deposits? Or is the committee still meeting?

Good question...

I was just accepted off the Waitlist on Friday. Woo! And I kept in touch with the office a lot.

What did you ask them?

Are you in state or oos?

First, I emailed Letters of Continued Interest to the doctors that I met during my interview day. I also submitted additional transcripts and letters of recommendation. Finally, I called about once every two weeks to remind them that UMB was my top choice.
I'm out of state, and my Waitlist email only indicated WL.

When was your interview if u dont mind me asking? And would u be willing to share your stats? I have emailed them a couple of times ... But im still waiting. I didnt think to email my interviewers... Did u do that after your interview
Or after being wait listed?

My interview was on February 29, the very last one. I've always been taught that it's general practice to send thank you letters to interviewers after med/dental/job interviews. I did it immediately after my interviews, that evening, in fact. I kept in touch with the admissions office via phone and email after hearing about my waitlist status.

anyone hear anything lately?

Nope FML

when is the multiple deposit deadline for MD?

I just got a rejection letter in the mail, dated April 30th.

We're you on te waitlist?

Dang, still nothing for anyone? Getting really anxious

Dont mean to spam this thread at all but congrats to all of you that have been accepted to UMB.

I am a senior student getting ready to graduate and will be moving to texas in 3 weeks. I have a lot of things for sale in terms of furniture for a very cheap price if any of you are in the area looking for things to buy please let me know. This includes things like a bed/mattress, study desk, dining table with 4 chairs, TV stand, Leather rolling desk chair, coffee table etc. Message me if you are interested in any of these items and i can let them go for a very very cheap price. I would hate to throw these things away when they can be put to better use.

Again congrats on your acceptance!

Hey guys, I interviewed at Maryland a few months ago, and I've been calling and e-mailing ever since (maybe calling every three weeks). I had never heard of this letter of intent thing...does anyone care to explain what it's all about?

My schools health advising office has this on their site.

What is a Letter of Intent and should I send them?

A Letter of Intent is correspondence to professional schools letting them know that, if they were to accept you, it would be your intention to attend their school - a promise note, of sorts. It has been made popular by the student doctor network. The HPAO does not specifically recommend such a letter, as many admissions Deans have made it clear that they are not all that useful. What is useful, however, are well timed updates to admissions offices, indicating your continued interest in the school and any new activities, relevant experiences you have had since your original application. Certainly, at a minimum, you should send updated transcripts (above), but this is also a good time to send a note letting the admissions office know that the transcript is on the way, you are still interested, and you have had these new experiences.

If you are placed on a waitlist, it is also a good idea to acknowledge this update to your status in writing and to indicate that you are pleased to still be under consideration and that you remain very interested.

Disagree with Theory #1. Adcoms are way too systematic to impulsively send out offers of admission. I think the only way people are accepted that soon after their interviews is if they happened to interview the day of/before the committee meeting.


Maybe...maybe not. I interviewed on Dec. 13th and the next day received my acceptance email.

For those who got accepted, what extra curricular activities did y'all have? UMB is my top choice and would do pretty much anything to strengthen my application.
