does anyone here know what the AP credit policy is for inorganic chemistry for this school? I recently accepted a seat but was wondering about this as this would be the only req I technically need to meet. For context, I did receive ap credit for gen chem 1 w lab, which allowed me to directly take the orgo series and biochem. On MSAR it says that they do accept the credit but on their website it was not listed under their accepted AP credits. I have also taken other upper-level chem classes like physical chem with lab, protein chem, and another 4000-level class with lab. Does anyone know if Maryland accepts upper-level classes as a substitution for inorganic? I know that some schools do but not sure here.

Do you think its worth it to reach out to admissions office and ask if they are still sending out interviews? I don't live at home and need to know if I am going to resign my lease.

Can't hurt at this point, but they have really early second look dates which gives me the idea that they're pretty much done

I received a notification on the portal, after MD/PhD interview, that my app was placed "on hold". They said my app is very competitive but they interviewed more ppl than they can accept. What does this mean? Does that mean they can offer me a spot if enough ppl turn down acceptances or a soft rejection/waitlist? Any insight would be helpful.

IS pre-II R today. If they were done with interviews at least two weeks ago like someone further up the thread said, there was absolutely no need to wait this long to send that letter.

Pre-II R, this one sucks the most. OOS but live in Baltimore and was hoping to stay. Not sure what else I could have done to indicate interest in staying in my home for the past 2 years

I have strong ties to the state and was rejected too. 🥲
 
Is there anyone else who is committed to the MSTP program? If you are I would love to connect and talk

Sorry to share that it might be a little irregular since they pushed their 'Plan to Enroll' date back from April 30 to May 31st due to the FAFSA delay and late roll out of financial aid packages. So it might take them a little longer to get a headcount of the incoming class and start WL movement. Hard to say for sure ofc how that will effect the timeline, it's just an assumption on my part.

How do people consider the factor of grading versus pass/fail in choosing a med school?

If they weren't my state school within walking distance then I probably wouldn't have applied. Feeling really torn about where to go primarily because of that issue. Part of me is hoping they'll announce they're going P/F at the white coat ceremony or something. Current students made it sound like they anticipate that transition happening sometime in the next couple years. No idea why they are holding out. A lot of folks play it down but there's no denying that P/F means lower stress and more time for ECs like research.

A current student told me the transition wouldn’t be happening for us, but for perhaps the following year. Same for the transition to more NBME style exams. Will probably be choosing another school for these reasons precisely
 
Any potential petition that can change their mind? Where and how can this be done without any potential retaliation

As nice as that would be I don’t think it’s realistic. Transitions like that take time and planning and can’t be done overnight. It sounds like they’ve already started the process so there’s not much else to be done. Not ideal for a new class to start a four year journey with conflict either.
