So excited to meet you also!! (Again!! haha)
And same here everyone- I was very very very nervous. So much so that I applied to 12 schools. I re-took the PCAT in January 2013 and did MUCH better.. not as well as the majority of people of SDN, but I am very proud of what I got. My GPA isnt amazing either.
The PLUS- I have experience working in a retail Pharmacy and, in my opinion, that really helped.
Those of you who are worried: dont be!!! Its so true that Maryland looks at the whole applicant.
The majority of their applicants are accepted in late April, so dont give up hope!! I honestly think a total of 20 people have been accepted, IF THAT. (and even some people are saying they are waiting to hear from other schools still)
Just received an email acceptance letter today. Interviewed in Mar 15. Maryland really does look at the entire applicant. I was surprised I got in with a sub 3.0 gpa but I guess I really sold myself in the interview.
hi, i also interviewed on the march 15, My name is Emmanuel. what is your name?
My name is the guy that gave you a ride to the airport
dont worry guys, i interviewed back in feb and just heard that i was accepted yesterday!! i think they just started emailing people, now i have to choose between Jefferson and Maryland????? most likely Maryland because it is an awesome school
ya i completely agree, the only thing that i liked about Jefferson was that the rotations were implemented in the schedule, but i was very disappointed by their lack of facilities and small campus, and the min 3.0 is unappealing as well. in any case, i think Maryland is a great school and 9th in the country with a bigger campus and much better facilities. plus recorded lectures is great for people like me who cram every now and thenJefferson and MD were my top two choices too but I'm going to go to MD because
1., Tuition at UMD is about $14,000 less per year compared to Jefferson (a savings of nearly $60K over the course of the program)
2., UMD has multiple dual-degree pathways and numerous opportunities for research, both of which I'm interested in. Jefferson doen't offer any dual degree programs at the moment. 3., UMD has a tutoring/learning center, Jefferson does not. I don't know about you, but I've found tutoring centers very helpful, especially when you can't reach the professor or their office hours simply doesn't work and
4, UMD has a fantastic library. I was really disappointed and quite frankly, turned off by the library at Jeff. For such a big health sciences university, the library is very small, cramped, and old and can only fit a few students at a time. It's also open with no walled off rooms for private/group study - it's all open. Really, Jefferson's library was a major negative for me.

I got the acceptance email a couple of days ago as well!
I want to know how the classes are presented at Shady Grove. Will the main classes be streamed directly to Shady Grove while the classroom instruction is happening in Baltimore? or is it just posted online sometime later in the day?
Here is what it says on the Frequently Asked Questions page: "Students on either campus can choose to attend lectures at the Baltimore campus or watch the online recording of the lecture"
Thanks
Accepted!
I'm choosing Baltimore campus. Is anyone looking around for off-campus housing; any info will be great?
hey, just wondering - were ya on the waitlist before you got your acceptance?
Hey, I was on the same group that was interviewed on Jan 26th. When did you find out that you have been accepted and how much is the deposit. also did they gave you option on which campus you might want to attend. thanks.
found out feb 20th. $800. due march 8th.
Did they deposit your check yet?

Best of luck!

I declined my spot already. Did not pay the $800. Great school. But I changed my mind.
I doubt they'll give back your check. They'll definitely tell you it's Non-refundable. Admissions make a lot of cash every year. (Harvard with over $2 million just from application fee.)
