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

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
 
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.

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