Maryland Class of 2028 Interview/Acceptance Thread

Folks, ADEA just finished its annual meeting this week in New Orleans where they had their in-person recruitment fair. That's where I usually find out from my peers in admissions if their classes were filled.

I'm not there so I can't confirm anything.

While You Are Waiting: Processing Health Professions Applications | SDN

I often use the "marathon" metaphor when it comes to the timeline from preparing your application to stepping on-campus as a newly enrolled student, but

I haven’t heard anything, but im assuming if we don’t get anything by 3/31, we should expect a waitlist email?
 
Does anyone know how many spots are left?
 
Wonder if the class is full rn! Submitted my second app in Nov, but never heard back from them

Regarding interviews it may be difficulty to figure out , not fully sure if they are still interviewing or just reviewing past interviews

Safe to assume no more interviews? I received a secondary application in mid January and haven't heard back since then

I would sadly have to say ur probably right, the way Maryland does it Admissions is very strange. They don’t make a waiting list in December they make it in these next few weeks, so it’s safe to say there’s a lot of individuals that have been interviewed and haven’t heard anything still. It’s safe to assume mid March interviews are done and waitlist move slowly
 
Plus a secondary doesn’t always yield an interview, my instate school ended up not intervening me and sending me a reject 2 ish months after sending me secondaries.

Agreed, people are as stressed as can be rn. As Mac said give it the last 2 weeks of March and the beginning of April. Keep hope alive but an open mind!

i never said april
movement after friday will be less common and sporadic up until the first week of school
by this weekend, you will need to start getting prepared to reapply...

Boys and gals recommended to move on and strengthen your application for next cycle. I said this with total sadness but we got to move on. If it comes cheers.,…

At least I wasn't insane for what I typed (then deleted lol..). I accepted the fact it's GGs and it was a good run (for now 😀). I believe waitlist is imminent due to the events that took place these past two weeks and recognizing what month we are in.

I'm just grateful I have a school to go to even though this program was one of my top choices.

I understand the position we’re all in, it’s not easy one, but the reason why I still have hope, and I don’t say it’s over until it’s over because last year this exact same time (March 21 & 22), two kids announced on SDN they were accepted into UMSOD. Who knows if it was more than just two, so until we get that official letter, anything can happen

yes, it makes sense that last year 3/21 and 3/22 were the people that were replacing the 3/20 deadline peeps...
 
I’ve been stalking this thread bc this is the second time I interviewed with this school.
My interviewer said at the end “ hopefully we’ll see you next year” but no notification since. Yes realistically I would say if you haven’t got into a program at all, to consider improving for the next application. But people get off waitlist too, especially for OOS students. I know all of you will become dentists in the near future

I only had one interview this cycle from 10 schools I applied too. Some rejection and ghosted. I need to apply to more schools next cycle. One thing I know from research is that all interviews will make you very comfortable. After the interviews candidates were so happy thinking they did well but not get accepted. Hope they would let people know so we improve for next cycle.....
 
Woah ten is a lot of schools! would def look into your application stats and personal statement.
I asked all my interviewers what they’re looking for in a prospective student. All 5 answered that they’re looking for someone who can hold a conversation and motivated to help the community. Ended up getting in my second choice with that in mind. All tips from D4s I spoke to was “be yourself”

I suspect its my essay and DAT. DAT 21AA with pat 17 really hurts me. cgpa:3.7, sgpa:3.62 as of january; graduating this may from biology. Did you ask the question during you interview (ANSWERED ABOVER) with ad com or from d4 that you know them personally. I am sure most candidates can hold conversation and help communities like i see in sdn yet they still cant get in. Some even hold masters degree (maybe the wrong degree not what they looking for) Its a very mysterious process kinda like VODOOOOOOOOOOOO...................

Yes, I asked during the interviews and everyone was very forthcoming with their answers. I believe it helps to give specific example how you have add to dentistry or community long term and not for application, and be able to talk about it. I also chose specific schools that match my mission statement. I do hold a master degree and very non traditional student so I also think that helped me tremendously. I think the process is very transparent and can be frustrating. I hope you get to hear good news regardless

yes i m planning to take a master in biomedical science and continue to apply. there is no telling when they are going to accept me. Also dat definitely needs improvement, but i got to be very careful not to retake and score less. That would be detrimental to my application. what is you masters in if you dont mind sharing and you stat. if its personal you can message me in private. it only make sense to take master while waiting for this darn thing. at least in the end something is accomplished instead of do nothing.

I did all of that give specific examples, connect with ad com, talk about hobbies he had in common with me, all of that doesnt matter in the end i didnt get accepted. I camped out here do my fair share of research for long time

I also would add that to keep in mind that they’re also looking for a cohesive class where everyone can get along, not just a group of people with just a certain scores. Wherever you end up, it’s will be great. Trust the process
