No, it was not my top choice and I already committed to Rutgers
Any recent interview invites?
Got one exactly one week ago
Did you send a letter of interest?
Congrats on the invite! Was your interview last year also post dec? I’m ghosted since October and worried this is a rejection.Got an interview invite on Jan 14 at 1 pm est. interview date on Jan 22. I am a reapplicant from an interview and waitlisted last year. Message me if anyone wants to talk if you have the interview the same date!
Yes post Dec last time also but it was all the way end of Feb. Bacially timeline is running 1 month earlier this time possibly cuz of the better DAT score of a 20 compared to the 18AACongrats on the invite! Was your interview last year also post dec? I’m ghosted since October and worried this is a rejection.
Congratulations! When did you interview?I was accepted yesterday! Will be declining my seat so someone else can have it 🙂
I don’t think so. Most likely those will be sent by late March or April once they have their deposits and waitlist finalized.has umd sent out any rejections yet?
Yes, it’s on the Facebook page! Facebook link: https://m.facebook.com/groups/1644177416507651/is there a group for accepted students?
I interviewed 2/25, they didn't say anything about being finished, but i am not certain.It has been awfully quiet, does that mean it has concluded?

I’ve seen you through all the forums last year! How has D1 been??Hey guys!
My name is Josh Nourafshan, I am a D1 at UMSOD (class of 2028), and I just wanted to put my name out here, just in case people needed a contact to reach out to while the last phase of interviews slows down and for those who have been accepted/waitlisted and just want to know more about the school from a first-hand account. I know how stressful this time can be, trust me we've all been through it, so please do not hesitate to reach out, just send me a DM and I am glad to help out as many as I can, especially while we're on spring break this week
I can share full details privately, but so far it’s been amazing, and this is coming from somebody who’s from the West Coast. D1 is not easy, there’s a lot of didactic exams, but you learn very quickly what method of studying will work for you and really just learning how to spot out key info from lecture slides. Also it goes without saying Baltimore isn’t New York or Philly, but it has its own charm and you will find there’s a ton to do once you explore the city. Plus if you wanna visit DC, Philly, NY, etc, its all very close with AmtrakI’ve seen you through all the forums last year! How has D1 been??
In the same exact boat at you except for my childhood dream vacation to Japan 😭idk how long more to wait and just pay the feeHello future dentist.. I usually dont check sdn and reddit because it drives me crazy, however I am seeking advice from my peers. I am very fortunate and grateful to have the opportunity to interview at UMSOD in February given that it is my state school and my top choice. I know that there is alot of movement during March for acceptances and waitlists. I am eager to go to Egypt this summer for a couple weeks. I go every three years. I already delayed it last summer because I had to take my DAT. Going to Egypt this summer would be a way for me to celebrate my acceptance to dental school, if admitted. The question is.. how long should I wait to make a decision if I will stay for the summer and retake the DAT or book my tickets and enjoy my time with family.
I know.. its definitely stressful but the one thing I learned about this cycle is the power of being patient. After I thought I lost hope this cycle, I received an email in February about an interview to UMSOD right before I went to TA my gen chem class. I showed my professor and we were jumping everywhere from happiness. It restored my hope in getting into Maryland this cycle. I definitely believe that anything is possible with discipline and patience. I really hope I get in this cycle, as well as any of you who have been waiting also. I cant wait to go to Egypt this summer with a smile on my face as I tell my family that I made it to dental school 🙂In the same exact boat at you except for my childhood dream vacation to Japan 😭idk how long more to wait and just pay the fee
No acceptances that I am aware of, they are also on spring break this week so not sure how that will impact. Also individuals who are holding multiple seats will have to make final decisions on school they will go to. I would expect a lot action within these next two weeks. Keep in mind previous sdn for Maryland show that waitlists start late march to early April.Has anyone heard of any new acceptances this week? How many spots are even available?
Yea usually end of the month, 19th and 26th is when they send out the bulk of the acceptances to fill the class up for the final push. April start if you still didn’t hear back then it’s most likely a waitlist, very minimal like 4-5 seats movement after that. I’m a reapplicant so this is what happen last time.No acceptances that I am aware of, they are also on spring break this week so not sure how that will impact.

So you think the following Wednesdays are the big days to hear back? Or a day next week and a day the week after, was it Wednesday’s last time?Yea usually end of the month, 19th and 26th is when they send out the bulk of the acceptances to fill the class up for the final push.

In last years forum I noticed people saying they were accepted the Thursday’s and Fridays of next week.So you think the following Wednesdays are the big days to hear back? Or a day next week and a day the week after, was it Wednesday’s last time?
I wouldn’t 100% rely on just these days. I thought the same based off of last year’s forum and a trend this year. I got my acceptance on a Monday!So you think the following Wednesdays are the big days to hear back? Or a day next week and a day the week after, was it Wednesday’s last time?
It could honestly be any day in the next 2 weeks. An acceptance can be even come the very last day of this month since it’s a Monday. Who knows, wishing the best for us tho 🤞🏽In last years forum I noticed people saying they were accepted the Thursday’s and Fridays of next week.
