***The Official Univ, of Maryland Class of 2018 Interview/Acceptance Thread***

Is anyone just receiving the emails or did they all come around 10?
 
Accepted via 9:59AM eastern time via email! My top choice!
Facebook group anyone?
 
Congratulations on the acceptances guys! I had an interview scheduled for late November, but I canceled it (to save money). They said to call back in December for any spots. I got accepted to my top choice, so I guess I'll be withdrawing my invitation for an interview. I don't know if this will have any bearing for future interview invitations, but I just thought I'd put it out there. 🙂
 
I got accepted today also! I am a New Jersey resident.....Does anyone remember if it is readily easy to get in state tuition after one year? I recall someone saying that during our interview but I couldn't find it in my notes!

Choosing between Rutgers, Nova, and Maryland....leaning towards Maryland. I loved the area, school, and technology they are using.

It is possible to become a state resident after at least one year. You have to go through all the normal domicile requirements. Maryland is a particularly difficult state to do it. The University of Maryland has a lot of rules and regulations and you have to prove that you aren't just doing it for school. Things like joining a church, buying a house, or something else particularly permanent show you really want to remain in the state.

In any event. I am sad that I wasent offered an acceptance today. I was offered at other schools, maryland really was my choice, good look to everyone and CONGRATS to those who got in. Just curious my status still says invited for interview...anyone else still in the same boat, no change at all...I would unfortunately have a hard rejection than a soft so I could confidently put my deposit down elsewhere

My status never changed from invited for interview and I got accepted today, so definitely don't look into the portal too much.

Ugh...that changes everything. Does anyone else have any more info...is it that difficult to get residency? During the interview, they made it sound so easy as opposed to Rutgers where they said it was practically impossible.
 
I went there for an interview on Nov 4. Two student guides told me about switching to in state residency, they both did and they both got it. She said a lot of her classmates did as well and also got the in-state residency. Basically you would have to write a personal statement, join clubs/organizations, being active about those things during your first year to show that you have an interest in helping the Maryland residents. Switching your car, your banks etc...then apply and will get it. If you got denied, then you can appeal to be reconsidered. I still have her email if you need to ask for info.

I interviewed on Nov 4th too. We probably met! Are you planning to attend UMSOD?
 
Hey guys congrats on getting in to all of you who have been accepted already! I have my interview in less than 12 hours (Dec 3rd). Any last minute advice? I hope to get in and get to know all of you!

My best advice is just try to stay relaxed and make sure you have an idea of how to start your answers to the common questions. Knowing how you're going to begin makes things flow a little easier when you're nervous. Other than that,
Be prepared for a 2 on 1 interview. They don't gang up on you or anything though, so don't worry about that. Everyone is super nice and the school is awesome. Good luck and hopefully we'll see you around next fall!
 
Thanks! Yep, the waiting part sucks. Hopefully you'll hear good news soon. What did you think of the interview process there?
 
It was nice, very laid back- Loved the D4s that showed us around. and The Dean is a very nice smart woman. I look back and wish they asked me a bit harder questions. I don't think I was able to convey who I really was. At the time, I thought my interview went great with Maryland, (It was my first interview I was a bit nervous) but now thinking back I'm not sure. Maryland is a dream school hands down, but I'm just fortunate to have gotten into Dental School at all, and still have some interviews. But don't get me wrong- If Maryland decided to Accept.. I'm not sure what I'd do.

I know what you mean. Thanks for the info! Good luck!!
 
Does anyone know if they have a decision date set up for 2nd batch interviews?
 
If we are interviewing after Dec 2nd, are we only interviewing for the wait list?

I don't think so. I am pretty sure that Maryland has not filled up their entire class yet. There are still spots open!!
 
To some of in-staters who got accepted/got the letter via mail

Does it say in your letter that you should submit supplemental application for in-state classification........?

In my official acceptance letter it says, "For tuition purposes, the Office of records and registration has classified you as a resident of Maryland"
 
When's the last day for giving out the interviews?

I declined a few interviews, but I wouldnt advise declining Maryland. Its a very very impressive school. It blew me away. But its your decision. Good Luck!
