Maryland Class of 2025 Interview/Acceptance Thread

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! :)

OMG. I felt the EXACT same way. Seriously I've been beating myself up thinking it was something I did or I somehow screwed up the entire interview but holy .... YES. My thoughts exactly.
I wanna add the DR. didn't even show her video and barely talked so I didn't even know if she was there????

I got the same feeling from my interview at another school. The point is interview is not make or break its just a factor like other parts of application, so hopefully its not gonna effect us negatively alot

I had the same experience! I think (hope) they were more focused on writing notes on what we were saying and that’s why they weren’t super interactive.

One other thing that I was thinking about is that they probably gonna weight interview less in their admission decision this cycle because of online format. Interviewing online is not even close to the one in person. During my interview day they also faced a technical issue and asked all of us to leave and login 30 mins later

I don’t think getting a secondary is a guarantee of getting an interview invite, just means you passed their minimum requirements. However, it’s still pretty early so just be patient ! :)

Any people got invited today? Based on the thread, I was anticipating to see interview invites notification post today
 
I registered for my interview a few days ago but still haven't received the confirmation email with my login information. Anyone else experience the same thing?

I emailed the admissions about this. They said to log on at 2:50. 2:30 is just in case you have technical difficulty logging onto zoom.

Hi! I’m interviewing in a couple of weeks and I had a quick question for those who have already interviewed. In the email confirmation, it says “Interviews and Student Panel 1pm-3pm.”

How do we know when our actual interview is? Will we be sent a schedule or do they just send us into breakout rooms on the day of? Thank you in advance!! :)

I did as well! Did anyone try to reach out to the number given in the email? Nobody responded, so I left the voice mail instead, but I am little worried if I am actually confirmed for the interview

Congrats on the interview. Is Dec 15th considered a post december or pre-december interview? :unsure:
Click to expand...
I would consider it as post because most decisions will be made on December 15 from pre-december interviews. Adcom needs to evaluate your interview performance which is unlikely giving out the decision on the date of 15th.

My AADSAS status changed from "invited for interview" to "received/under review" 😬. Anyone else?
