2024-2025 Maryland

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
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
 
Do Rs going out today give us any insight into how the wait list might move?
 
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.

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

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
 
how on time are they with post-II responses? they said 4-6 weeks but it has been 6 weeks today and I don't think anyone on my interview date has heard
 
+1 OOS waitlist, interviewed 1/8/25, notified via email

They were within that time frame for me, I interviewed 10/30 and got my acceptance call around 1 pm ET on 12/10! Though the secondary portal didn't update until 12/13
 
I still haven't heard anything since submitting my secondary... I am pretty sure they are done interviewing so kind of confused?
 
I don't think we have enough info to assume that necessarily (I interviewed in late Jan and I really need some hope man)
 
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 ❤️
 
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.
