2020-2021 Maryland

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Website says they conduct interviews through March 31st! Still lots of slots, and people might start dropping their interview slot if they get an A elsewhere. Don't lose hope!


Unfortunately, I submitted my application very late in the cycle due to my MCAT being delayed from COVID-19 🙁. Just hoping for a chance at even a consideration/rejection.

Thank you for the optimism though! My best wishes to you!!

My MCAT was also delayed and I wasn't complete here until 9/30. I am sure we aren't the only ones. 🙂
 
How soon you do you have to turn in your AAMC VITA video?
 
What are the MD/Master's interviews like?
 
Congrats to everyone who has been accepted! :soexcited:

Are there other applicants who were complete around 8/6 who have not been placed "under review" yet? I'm slightly confused so if anyone else understands the process better I'd love to know if "under review" an indicator that you will be getting an interview soon, or if everyone goes under review at some point?

I was complete 7/23 and haven't been placed under review so I'm also curious about the process.
 
II today! IS complete 10/28 I noticed I was under review this weekend if that helps anyone with understanding what the status means
congrats!! what dates were available?
 
For those of you that were put on hold, did you ever see an under review status?
 
Pre-II hold as well. Complete 8/21. I looked through the past two years and threads and only saw one person mention getting accepted off the hold list (for the MSTP) and I hope that isn't a bad omen!
I looked into last years thread. It seems there were a good amount of holds going into an interview around January/February. Not all, but a chance 🙂
 
IS, pre II Hold. Completely 8/1.
This just ruined my day sigh.
Pre-II hold. IS, complete 10/1. 3 holds and 1 rejection so far oof
Hold as well I keep getting hold emails lol please change my luck
Pre-II hold. OOS.
Hold as well just now. Last year I was also put on hold and my app went back to under review in late February before my rejection in March. I think it truly means a hold but the chances of an II go down a lot because so many people are placed on hold and the number of interview invites they have left in late February is minuscule. So it’s not a nail in the coffin and there is a tiny sliver of hope.
Did you all find out via email or just the portal?
 
feeling nervous here.. was rejected pre-ii 2 cycles ago, waitlisted for an interview last cycle..crickets so far complete 7/31..
 
For everyone getting rejections, was it through the mail or email?

If you don't mind, can you all also share your stats and complete date if you didn't already. Thank you and wish you all the best!

I got an email around noon EST. My portal hasn't changed (I never even saw it under review). Also, I'm not going to say my exact stats, but I will say they are pretty bad and probably worse than anyone else applying here 🙂 But I am IS, have a lot of clinical experience, work at UMD medical school hospital, and have LORs from faculty here.
 
Complete 8/2 and nothing yet! reapplicant and got a hold here last cycle. This is my top priority! hoping for the best
 
are they giving out more interviews this year than last year?
 
For those who have been accepted and are in-state, was your status initially OOS and has it been changed yet? I submitted a residency form a while back but wasn't sure if I should start asking the registrar why I'm still OOS since it looks like they had technical issues and are working on it!

Mine was OOS and still hasn't been changed! I got my A on 10/20 and submitted the residency form the same day. I'm just going to wait a bit longer before I reach out

EDIT: I've lived in MD literally my entire life and go to undergrad here so my residency is def IS lol

Pardon my ignorance, where do you check if you are in-state or out-of-state? I am currently IS, and also submitted my residency form. But I am not sure where to check this status.
