What is the primary care track. I applied to schools with a primary care type of mission statement . I applied here!
I went to this today and I must say, having learned more about the school I'm excited to have applied here. I wouldn't mind attending at all.
Me too! Same sentiments, exactly. I am super stoked applying here, and am salivating a little at the words, "Shock Trauma." Hope I get in!
How did you hear about this open house? I didn't see anything on their website. This was one of my top choices, but my MCAT scores are kind of low. I am thinking about retaking and applying. I just need to retake them sometime before September right?
I had just went on google and searched UMD open house, and the first link showed the information. This is my top choice, so I did a fair amount of research on the school before I decided to apply.
I wonder if they will have another one... Do you by any chance know if they might?
Thanks! 🙂

Sorry about the delay, I don't think they have another open house. If I hear otherwise I will sure let you know
Nope!
They do, you can apply for IS residency while you live here in Maryland.
also wondering if i should apply. how friendy are they for OOS?
can you post those stats from msar?
3601 Verified OOS Apps
265 OOS Interviews
34 OOS Matriculants (this means more were accepted)
MSAR also states that OOS total COA is $86,846
does anyone think that maryland will change the secondary questions this year? I've been working on it... but now I'm suddenly afraid that they will change the questions and I'd have to start over!
Can you post or PM me last years secondary application? Where can I find it? If you are nervous about it. I would suggest just writing an outline. They probably have similar essays as another school. It just helps to get your ideas down. Then when you know their real secondary essays you can actually write them out.
Thank you and best! 🙂
Got the secondary

1500 Including spaces?
Will u let me know if the word count includes spaces when you get a chance? Thanks!
There are questions that are 1000 (depending on if you answer yes to the questions on the app) but the actual 3 essays are 1500. All including spaces.

you did that quickly!
I haven't received it yet. Either they haven't sent out secondaries to OOS applicants, or I've been pre-screened 🙁
I received it yesterday, so I guess they've started sending to those OOS
For the question that asks:
Has your education to date been continuous other than vacations? (Meaning: Since high school graduation has your education been continuous up until right now. Please explain any gaps in your education.)
Would my answer be yes or no if I have been in school until my graduate school graduation in June of this year? So I will have a gap year, but have been in school continuously up until June 2013?

I have a question about the secondaries. For the first two questions that ask:
19.) Briefly describe your most important exposure to clinical medicine.
(1500 character max)1500
20.) Briefly describe your most satisfying experience related to community service.
(1500 character max)1500
Are they talking specifically about a moment in an activity that you're involved in? Or are they looking for you to write generally about one of the health-related / community service related activities as listed on your AMCAS?

I would say the latter but be sure to give them specifics. They love specifics 🙂
Does anyone have a complete application with Maryland? If you go in and click the status tab, do you see a spot where it says interview and then under notes "not yet scheduled"? Just wondering if anyone else sees that.
Yep, it's said that for me since I submitted.

Status changed to:
Thank you for applying to the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
I'm thinking that's ominous news.

Everyone's front page says this after submission
stop panicking cause if other people start panicking than i'm going to start panicking...
+1
I wrote about a specific patient. I don't think it really matters as long as it's good.
So, I'm an IS and I'm considering making the third essay question into a why UMD question. What do you all think?
