For anyone who's interviewed, have the interviews been about half hour each or more like an hour? Thanks!

For me they were 50 minutes with a 10 minute buffer in case it went overtime but most of them took the entire hour.

someone posted some time ago about receiving their package. I haven't received anything yet.

 

[MongutheDoggy]

Have any 1/13 interviewees heard back yet?

Have any 1/13 interviewees heard back yet?

If you check the previous post you should see a couple of decisions from 01/13!

 

[DrIWanttoBe1]

I dont know anyone who has heard back from 1/13

Someone on the last page received an A after a 1/13 interview.

Also some holds I think

 

[Flareicus]

WLed just now. Interviewed 1/20.

 

[SurgOnc1d]

Damn.. WL’d. OOS and I really liked this school. I know this school does not have a good track record for WL

 

[MB190E]

1/20 here also WL’d. Feels bad man

 

[MongutheDoggy]

Any 1/20 acceptances?

 

[MedSchoolHopeful777]

Waitlisted as well. Does Maryland accept letters of intent? And if so, when should we submit them?

When did you interview?

I emailed the finaid office and they said that they will be awarding packages around mid-April.

 

[DrIWanttoBe1]

WL and sent letter of intent.... any advice?

 

[valanthe]

Does anyone else still have their application status on "Application complete" and not under review? I feel like this does not bode well for me, but I have a very vested interest in attending this school vs any others and idk if this is a soft rejection or they literally have not opened my application yet. 🙁

I interviewed a month or so ago, the portal never changes from "application complete" to anything else. Since Maryland does send rejections, I feel like if you haven't gotten one that should mean you're still in the running!

 

[deleted1017749]

Does anyone have any information about the pre-matriculation summer program? Do we have to be invited to join?

 

[MedSchoolHopeful777]

When did you interview?

Interviewed 1/27

 

[MongutheDoggy]

Accepted! Interviewed 1/27

You had mentioned a WL earlier on this thread. Were you accepted off the WL?

 

[bodynotfondofcoffee]

interviewed on 2/10, but i had a strange feeling that the interviewer already made a decision for me when coming into the interview... did anyone else feel this way?

I felt the same. The interviewer kept saying great things about my app and why I shd come to Maryland. But it is the committee that makes the final decision.

 

[MongutheDoggy]

Any late January interviewers hear back?

 

[User1803]

Has anyone heard after being put on pre-II hold?

 

[dr2rightfeet]

Has anyone heard after being put on pre-II hold?

Still waiting

 

[stillpilly]

When does Maryland conclude interviews if anyone knows?

I called today and the person said that they will be interviewing through March.

 

[big_yikes_premed]

Still waiting

+1. Are you IS?

 

[HoyaSnaxa]

Anyone hear anything today?

 

[dr2rightfeet]

I’m OOS but I grew up Maryland and my family lives there

 

[legitbeans]

Anyone hear anything today?

Nope. Interviewed on 1/27. Have a feeling we're gonna hear something either tomorrow or the day after.

Looking back on this thread it seems they almost exclusively give decisions on Tuesdays :/

Oh true. We might have to wait till next week then considering this week had a long weekend

 

[legitbeans]

WL 1/27

 

[MongutheDoggy]

Any 2/1 interviewers hear back?

 

[HoyaSnaxa]

Any 2/1 interviewers hear back?

A this morning around 11

 

[big_yikes_premed]

Under Review Lock lol. OOS complete mid-September.

Were you previously on hold? I have the lock too but have been on hold since Nov.

 

[big_yikes_premed]

No communication whatsoever. OOS ORM with late submission might have played a part in that.

Anyone else with the lock end up with an eventual II? I know it's getting late in the cycle though...

 

[synergetics2020]

What are your guy's thoughts on the grading system? I love everything about Maryland but I'm wary about graded curriculum. I'm not sure if I'm just making this a bigger deal in my head than it is though

its not letter grades anymore, its a tiered pass/fail system. they introduced it with their new renaissance curriculum that was implemented this year

I love the school as well but this is what I hate the most. It’s essentially letter grades with a different name.

 

[Putkernerinthehall]

When does this school schedule in time for Step 1 ? I've seen some schools (Einstein, for one) now moving the study block into the 3rd year so that it benefits students for both Step 1 and Step 2 CK. I guess there is some Step 1 content covered in Step 2 CK (?). I thought I saw somewhere that Maryland was doing this.

That's what I'm saying!!! I don't want the added stress ugh

 

[MCAT2020]

Same here. Complete 10/2 and been on hold since Nov. I did see someone earlier get an R and was complete 10/17, so maybe they will come back around to give us a decision. :/

 

[deleted1079705]

Is Maryland a school that generally waitlists a very high percentage of their later interviews?

 

[blinkblink2]

Are interviews done? I have nothing but radio silence since my submission and assessing whether it's worth sending a late update

You have way more to gain by sending than not either way.
