I am non- resident of Maryland and had an interview 2 weeks ago. If I made it to the interview stage, does any one know my chances of getting accepted?

Once you make it to the interview, your chances of getting accepted are the same as an in-state person (supposedly)...they no longer take into consideration your residency status after that point. Good luck! :luck:

In theory, is that true of all state schools, or does level of resident bias after the interview process vary by school?

I'm pretty sure it varies by school. Anyone else know of other schools with this policy?

Thats not true at all. Maryland will offer as many acceptances with the in-state and out-of-state ratio in mind (15%-25% out of state). Out-of-state have a much higher turnover ratio.

at nebraska, once you interview you're the same as an in-state
 
I'm an out of state resident who was accepted. At my interviews, I didn't hear anything about residents and non-residents being looked at equally after the interview. But on the bright side, out of the 12 interviewees, half of us weren't residents.
