I think somebody on the forum mentioned about Maryland's WL movement being fast.

waitlist won’t hear anything until May at the soonest, right? at least that’s what the waitlist notice made it sound like

This school has completed interviewing. They posted it on their IG when they did.

Does anyone know the link or how to find the group me for accepted students? Thanks!
Is Maryland done interviewing?
Yes, they are.
I don’t think it’s “required” per se but probably helps although, there isn’t really any way to definitely answer your question. Personally, my job include scribing, medical coding, billing and population health but that doesn’t mean that everyone who got in might have similar experiences (actually, very unlikely).
I think having scribing, shadowing, or some clinical patient interation-type of experience such as medical interpreting certainly doesn't hurt and can only strengthen your application. Definitely have at least one of those three, such as shadowing. But I wouldn't say its required because besides shadowing I didn't have any other kind of clinical experience. I had a research-heavy application, which helped my application and I think helped to offset my lack of clinical experience. Despite a lack of hands-on patient experience, I still got an II with UMaryland.
It’s definitely not a requirement. If anything, it just shows you have more experience being around doctors (which helps them tell wether or not you’ve been able to see what the day to day of a doctor actually is.) I think working as an MA is great. One of my classmates did that and that instead of scribing.
And I would say UMSOM emphasizes volunteering/service over everything else! I hear Dr. Quezada talk about service as something she/UMSOM looks for a lot.
I was accepted to the MSTP in late January; hopefully good news is coming towards you both soon.
For those who interviewed 1/25, iirc they mentioned about getting back to us with a decision more or less around 3/8. Is it possible that they could release a decision before 3/8 and phone call people for acceptance notices?

Had no clue they gave us a date. I’ve been sitting here stressed for no reason then 😭. To your actual question, I have no clue.

Has anyone who interviewed 1/18 heard back yet?

They mentioned that they would get back to us about an admissions decision in about 6 weeks more or less, so if we interviewed in 1/25, 6 weeks from now would be 3/8.

WL 3/1 . Interviewed 1/18. Received email at 12:36 PM today
Pre-II R
In-state reapplicant
A little bummed I won't be able go to a school with low instate tuition to help with loan burden, but still grateful to have an acceptance elsewhere
Good luck to everyone else still in the running!

Just saw a new line in my application status that shows "Interview" with a lock next to it and the message "Under Review". This may mean that a Pre-II R is coming in the near future based off what others said about it on this thread as well as last year's thread. For now, all I can do is wait and see what happens.

Yep, got the UMID email on Tuesday and got WL yesterday after 1/23 interview. I think everyone who included Maryland in their FAFSA gets the UMID email.

Also interviewed that day and waitlisted today
According to the dean at our second look, she basically said that the the total number of people there was close to the number of people we will see in our class. Not sure what that means.

Class might be “full” as of now but some people will probably not enroll here and go somewhere else. So there should still be some WL movement! But that’s just dependent on what the students decide to do I think.

How many people were at the second look or on the accepted GroupMe?
That’s a tough question, I don’t think they mentioned
I'm not feeling optimistic about wait-list movement though. From what AMCAS said, only 15 acceptances were offered out of 200 waitlisted applicants.
Pre-II R today 🙁

How do you access the group me? Thanks!
You should have received an accepted student email with the facebook and groupme. They send them every so often

At least 158 students have been accepted already. The final class size is 140 or 150 I think.
Is it common for med schools to offer slightly more acceptances than the actual number of med school seats they can hold?
Yep because not everyone will commit

Does anyone know if there's a reason why they haven't sent out pre-II R's to everyone if they're done interviewing already?
Unfortunately many schools ghost applicants OR wait till the absolute end of the cycle to send out those
Love that!!!!!

I feel like the Jets waiting on the Aaron Rodgers decision. They should obey the 6 week deadline
