How long does UMaryland take to give out decisions post II?

very quickly, 4 weeks max ~2 week average. I got mine back in 2 weeks, which is what my interviewer had said was gonna happen.
I haven't heard back yet and I interviewed late Jan, but on my interview day they said 4-6 weeks.

Same!
Does anyone else have the interview status in the application status tab with a mini combination lock picture? It's at the very bottom, right underneath the application file complete text. I'm wondering what this means?
I have that too! And under notes it says “Under Review”. I didn’t have this before. Does it mean anything?
I havent heard anything from them. And I still have nothing, so honestly who knows
There’s 3 column headers on the status page. “application category”, “application status” and “notes”
I haven’t gotten an II 🙁

I agree. My friend interviewed there back in Fall and heard by in 2 weeks with an A.. I thought I did really well in the interview too and was really looking forward to this school.
I have another school that accepted me but this was my first choice and I really wanted this one. I am not sure how to deal with the emotions ):
Any tips?

Did anyone interview in early February and not hear back yet? Does Maryland do post II rejections?

Pre-II R, had been on hold (OOS). Good luck y'all 🙂
Did you guys all have the locks?
pre-II R just now. It is a shame. And I mean that in the best way. Good luck to those on WL

Any word on what the lock means? Not holding out hope, but curious
I think it means cycle is complete. No more invites going out

This late in the cycle, it wouldn't surprise me. Only thing that makes me think it means something else is that when people first started talking about it, I did not have the lock. Now I have one.
I didn’t check when mine appeared but I currently have it. I called them on Friday and they told me their cycle had wrapped up that very day. So that’s why I think the locks mean no more invitations will be going out.

Ah I see, thanks for the update!
I still don't have a lock. Assuming they're updating in batches if they're done?
Yeah, I dont have one either. Its so weird
Wondering this too. Interviewed in late Jan but still haven’t heard back.

OOS and complete silence apart from a “hold” email in January. Are they still sending interview invites?
I know people have been talking about the locks, does it say "under review" next to everyone else's? I can't find any info online about how long they interview until
I don't think the lock is a good thing. One person before said they got a Pre-II R after getting a lock. But that was n=1, idk about other people. I'm still waiting to hear anything past the "active review" email.
i called them on the 25th of last month and they said their cycle had wrapped up, then shortly after that the locks came in.

What do you guys mean by a lock? I don't see anything different in my portal. I'm still waiting for a pre-II R or a II (lol)

Where do I see interview status? I just see "App Submitted", "Fee Paid Status", "Letter of References", and "Application File Complete" all with green check marks.
Yeah I dont have it either. People said the cycle was over so I honestly dont know if its just that they havent gotten to me or something else

Ah I am sorry friend, when were you complete? 🙁 IS or OOS?
If they're actually not sending out any more II, I wonder why they don't just mass send a pre-II R to everyone already 😢 Let me rip off the band-aid

Yeah what I’ve gathered is there’s just a trickle of pre-II R coming out? And correct me if I’m wrong but there hasn’t been any post-II decisions posted in the past few weeks either…

I emailed Maryland, they said there's no interviews left and everyone who hasn't gotten a decision will receive official correspondence soon.
