ehhh i mean look the University of Washington School of Medicine. The have an in-state interview rate of ~44% and OOS interview rate of ~4.5%. They accept 269 people in their class according to msar. This is not even considering them having a 2nd MD school in the state that is public. UMSOM needs to be kinder to in-staters until they can increase class size.

Also of those they accept, yes they are great, but the adcoms be rejecting top-notch/stellar applications with no interviews (which can then can fall under the guise of "we do not have room' even tho their adcom review process is not the best). I think the bigger issue is the review process that need nationwide reform. The out of state, in state problem is harder to fix

jkjkjkjk

eidt: honestly this problem is complex but need to be fixed.

IS A! 🥹 Interviewed second week of December

 

[lefthandup]

Do Rs going out today give us any insight into how the wait list might move?

 

[HJDubW]

Portal wasn't updated until 2 days later for me

Makes sense, they probably have to add a bunch of new stuff not to mention sending out all the other As and Rs these past 48 hours. My portal still hasn't been updated so these past 2 days I keep checking my phone to remind myself that the call was actually real lol.

Any other admitted ppl know when the Second Look day is going to be, and if there is a group for admitted students? Just so I can plan my schedule for the weeks ahead and figure out travel.

Does anyone know anything about when we could expect to see some waitlist movement?

 

[dancingpeaches]

[BeepBoop1234]

Just curious, have all the interviewees from December heard back yet? I interviewed late January and I am trying to gauge how far along in the review process admissions is

 

[elsie2001]

Did anyone else get an email like this? This is the first I've heard from Maryland since submitting my secondary so I'm not really sure what's going on

[deleted1199010]

+1 OOS WL, Interviewed 1/8/25

 

[airquis91]

Seems like all of the January interviews were for WL spots.

 

[BeepBoop1234]

I don't think we have enough info to assume that necessarily (I interviewed in late Jan and I really need some hope man)

 

[madnessinmedicine]

OOS pre-II R. This one hurt

 

[deleted1179229]

Sending good vibes to the Jan interviewees who were all waitlisted so far. Looks like we are in this together, so here's to hoping May brings us lots of good news ❤️

[HJDubW]

Have any other accepted students gotten an email from SNMA? Just curious, because I'm not at all considered URM at least according to the AMCAS guidelines (common East Asian ethnicity, not low SES, but from a medically underserved county/city) and I'm wondering if it was a mistake.

 

[serendipity2147]

Do WL ppl see UMD in their CYMS? For some reason it hasn't shown up for me

 

[BioethicsGuy101]

+1 IS A (got the call on 2/20 while out of the country), interviewed 1/13, feeling extremely blessed and grateful

 

[HJDubW]

Anyone hear back about merit scholarships? Are they still sending them out?

I got one about three weeks ago

 

[HJDubW]

Congrats! Are you in-state?

OOS with significant ties

 

[hopefuldoc1122]

Any idea when we’ll start to see waitlist movement?
