Hang in there. You interviewed on the first day of interviews, they must be interested in you.
Here, here. I had a thought today that they might be interviewing OOS ppl first over IS because they know that us IS'ers will have a much greater affinity to the school, so a late interview for an IS won't really affect the decision to matriculate. Whereas, a late interview for an OOS, especially one with higher stats, might risk the applicant canceling the interview due to having already gained an acceptance(s), removing the opportunity for UMD to court those applicants.
Its nice logic but you are wrong. i interviewed late sept. and 100% ofthe ppl were in state. we went around and said where we were from. 100% in state. all 20 ppl
Damn.
thanks 🙂 i really hope so
I know someone (an IS applicant) who got an interview date merely days after submitting the secondary. And that person applied rather late in the cycle...in October. Good stats for sure, but not extraordinary.
So U MD is probably not looking at applications in order.
Is anyone who interviewed in September still waiting to hear a decision?
yes. private message me if you want to discuss...
Yeah, I interviewed on Sept. 26th and have yet to hear back. I know that someone who interviewed on Oct 1st has already heard back. I've been slightly on edge from the waiting game and also not receiving a phone call, but all I can do is sit tight I guess.

Does anyone know if they have specific days they review files for acceptance or is just every day of the week? I would assume they are not discussing decisions on Mondays or Wednesday because those are interview days.
I am not sure if there are specific days, but I know committee does meet on Mondays sometimes, even though there are interviews that day
Let me know how that works out for you, if you please.
will do!
mail or email?
Wow man, you have a great app too. That's got me worried.
i think OOS is what got me! Best of luck to you!
If you don't mind me asking, did you have any ties to Maryland? I wonder if that has an effect on the decision.
Nope, none whatsoever!

Three acceptances, that we know of, for October 8th is pretty awesome!!!!!
So I am an instate student. I finished my secondary for Maryland back in July but at that point I had a not-so-great MCAT score. I re-took the MCAT in September and every MD school I applied too pretty much told me that they weren't even going to review my app until they got my new MCAT score.
I was able to get my MCAT up to a good score for Maryland, but since they didn't get the score until early October I feel like this sets me back in the cycle quite a bit and could hurt my chances.
Am I worrying too much?
