Yeah hope shouldn’t run out even if u get waitlisted. I got off a waitlist before Maryland accepted me, so now I got to pick do I stay near but pay 💰 or go out and pay less tuition but with living and stuff eventually even out.

well what are your plans after finishing school? wanna stay in your home state or move? look at cost of living for both schools before you decide. I dont wanna be rude but its just my opinion

I would stay home if I accept the instate school, I could commute. I’m also taking into account the rent, food and also the trips back and forth from Maryland to my state. Plus after all that both schools I’m adding like a 10k possible extra feee that I keep hearing
 
Like ik you can return to your normal state if you want after but I can’t find info on the process so I got to wait until Monday to call and ask

No waitlist yet because spots are still open and more spots are getting empty as people drop their seats; the class is not full yet and I spoke to someone in the admissions department in-person

New offers are being sent so I would say that we gotta be a little patient

God willing I hope we all hear positive news

You are so bless…If it’s not much of a difference I would pick a school that offers a lot of clinical experience and high board passing rates

I don’t think Easter will make a difference. The school is still open today and tomorrow.

Well idk, tomorrow stock market, bank’s all government sectors closed, most private sectors closed as well. Public school in my area closed tomorrow and Monday because easter is on Sunday. Texas a&m closed and I believe all universities as well. It’s just a major holiday. I know universities respect it because it’s a religious celebration 🎊

So according to the contract and offer they sent me, the first deposit is due when you sign the contract of acceptance. The second deposit is due before April 12. You can choose to pay them separately or together, but they both have to be paid prior to noon on April 12

Thanks for your information. Conversely, what happens when a person decided not attend the school after the deposit is paid, I know they will lose the deposit and what else…

Honestly speaking Im pretty sure 16-20 seats are left. More seats will open if people decline their seat before the April 12 deadline

most schools, but especially a public, would be foolish to have anywhere near that many seats open in april
some private schools like usc and the midwesterns may have more...
 
i mean waitlists haven't rolled out yet so that does mean there’s multiple seats open. Usually when there’s only 3-5 seats they start waitlisting people. There hasn’t been any communication since end of March and April first week is passing by, I expect them to have some solid acceptances batch out after April 12th. This time last year, they rolled out all the waitlists end of March.

Baltimore isn’t at the top of people’s lists of where they want to go to school and the price isn’t insanely cheaper compared to other schools. I’ve had multiple friends turn down their UMD offer just cuz they found cheaper or flashier schools. Regardless, I feel like UMD has great education, but at the end of the day the cheapest schools will get you the same degree.

Check your pm!
 
i spoke directly with the admissions dept and they told me they have an estimate of 16-22 seats now available. Last offer they sent was on friday and those people have until april 12 to make both deposits. Waitlist is still being made so keep your hopes up!

Waitlist should be finalized soon

My guess is the Friday is when they send out emails

^^ I was right on the spot. Just hoping they give out more outright accpetances rather than a ranked waitlist before they continue.
