*** The Official Maryland Class of 2020 Interview/Acceptance Thread ***

hey did you guys pay your application fee before you got the supplemental emailed to ya?
 
I read that too! And yes, my GPA has been verified, submitted on 6/10 🙂
 
how long after submitting the fee did you guys get the supplemental?

Also are you all instate applicants?
 
I am out of state and sent my fee before my AADSAS. I got my supplemental 2 hours after my AADSAS was received by UMD.

They review your application before you get the supplemental. Not everyone gets a supplemental.
 
For those people who got the supplemental, would you mind sharing your stats? I'm taking my DAT in a few weeks and was just wondering where the caliber is for this process because Maryland is definitely my top choice!
 
Are any of you doing the video? If so where can we upload it? I couldn't find any info about it on the supplemental website...

Also, if we don't have a bio AND chem letter, do you think we can fill another bio letter in the chemistry spot?

I've emailed them but haven't gotten a response, so maybe someone else had the same questions and got an answer?

For those of you who attend your interview, have fun finding your way up from the lobby to the meeting room. It was like a maze for another interviewee and I haha.

wow I definitely don't want to be the application after yours...🙂
 
This might be a dumb question, but if you are OOS, do you have to fill out any part of the Classification for In-State application or do you just skip it? Also for the supplemental essay (1000 characters) I wrote something completely different from my PS on AADSAS. What are others doing?
 
Hi! I'm wondering whether I should apply to UMBC since my boyfriend is pre-dental (NY resident) and also applying here. I've been reading up on it and I can't seem to find anything about diversity.. anyone know the racial demographics and where most OOS students are coming from? I'm from California and my stats are there, but just seeing whether it's worth it. Already submitted and have been working on other supplements already, so this would be a later addition.

You do not have to fill out the in-state application if u r OOS.
For the application, I just shortened and paraphrased my AADSAS.
 
I think from past years topics that your statement is generally true.

I received a supplemental but have 2 Bio professor/Dental LoR. So I'm not sure if the Supplemental = Interview is true. I am going to speak with a Chemistry professor tomorrow in hopes for a LoR because it seems that this is a requirement.

Well your case is special because you are missing a requirement
 
Last year I got a supplemental without submitting my Rec letters. Filled it out and got an interview the following week

What'd you end up doing about the Letters? I'm scrambling to find a Chem professor to write one for me

Also, did you do the video?

P.S. Nice name.
 
I just received the supp. app last Thursday. I'm not sure if getting a supplemental app means getting an interview too. Everyone I know who received a supplemental last cycle also received an interview, but I'm not 100% certain.
 
Hi,

For the supplemental application in state classification form, is the student ID simply your AADSAS ID?
 
My file was under review July 22. Now I wait :nailbiting:
 
Just got my supplement. Do we literally have to list every pre-req course again? I just went through all of this wait for them to verify my pre-reqs and having my app on hold, etc and now they need them once more?
 
I just got the supplemental... I did not expect to get it...I also wonder that supplemental = interview? is it true??
 
Anyone know when they start giving out interviews???
 
For the pre-requisite courses, did you also include the labs in the list? So general bio lectures + bio lab??

Hopefully see you guys on the other side!


Edit: Also, for date completed, did you put the date that the last class was taken, or when each class was completed? Like the date of each semester, or the date of the last class in the series? Thanks
At my school, gen chem labs were included in the lecture (making each class 4 credits) while ochem and bio labs were separate (so 3 credits for lecture and 1 credit for lab). I put them all so the totals add up to 8.
I put the end date of the semester. I think they just want to know about how recently you took the classes.

Good luck everyone 🙂
 
I doubt they are looking for the exact date. You can just write like Fall 2014 or Spring 2015 etc...
