Maryland Class of 2025 Interview/Acceptance Thread

If my status changed from received/under review to None does it mean anything?

Just got an email that my Maryland Secondary was received along with an email that I forgot to attach a picture to my secondary (oops). Don’t remember seeing a space to submit a photograph? They asked me to email it to them so I think it’s fine anyways.
I just completed the secondary and also did not see the space for the picture?? Should I email them

You can probably email them preemptively, otherwise they’ll email you to submit one

Do we need to submit a photograph to the school for secondary app? I just finished submitting my dentist letter to school and receive the confirmation email saying that my app is moved to committee for review, but never see that I need to submit a photograph for anything.

They should send you another email in the future with the secondary application in it. In there (at least for me) there was a question to upload the picture at the bottom of the page.

Are there any essay questions? Any questions besides the photo upload?
 
I just received an interview invite. Has anyone else been able to reach through to their office or know a good time to call?

I applied this week and just received the supplemental. I'm assuming y'all just submitted a passport style photo?

it doesn't necessarily need to be like a passport one but it should be formal. :D

Does anyone know the number of people they interview VS the number of people they accept? I have searched a lot but couldn't find anything.

I called back to confirm the interview date, like it said to do in the email, but no one answered. I left a message... should I try calling back later? The voicemail box I reached said they are out of the office due to COVID.

I left a voice message too and my number as well if they needed to call me back. I would try calling again if I don't hear back within a week

Did the admission office pick up the phone when you called?

So I realized I made a stupid mistake. When submitting the profile picture for the secondary app, I just used a regular headshot (not in formal clothes etc) with a hat on. I just realized I should have used a professional headshot. Does this look really bad? Should I email them with a different picture?

Same here. The profile picture I sent is not professional too.....
 
I want to share my interview experience today:
It could be just me, and also different people have different opinions. But my interview experience was worse than I expected. One Dr. and one dental student interviewed me. The interview was not very interactive and they didn't make much comment on what I said. Most of the time, they just asked me a question, I answered, and they moved on to the next question without saying anything. The dental student literally just read the questions on her draft and never said anything after I answered the questions. That made me feel like they don't like my answers at all. I was embarrassed and nervous.
However, the student panel really did a great job on introducing the school and demonstrating the campus to us. Good luck everyone! :)
