•I know!!! Maryland was the one school that I was counting on getting into since it was my state school, but that is obviously not the case. All I know is that there are a bunch of highly qualified and intelligent people out there who Maryland would be lucky to have and who would have considered Maryland because it is a wonderful school and the price is unbeatable. But after listening to Foxwell promise to let us know in two weeks yet having to anxiously check my mail for 4 months, I am pissed. Nothing like treating your applicants like dirt to form my last impression of the school. I think that says a lot about the school, because there are definitely places that have bent over backwards to be polite and promt with their responses and treat their interviewees with the same respect they give their colleagues. (Not that I have gotten into those schools either :wink: ) However, I wonder how Maryland treats their students once they get them if this is the way they treat the ones they are suppossed to impress.•••••Hey Valley, I am a Maryland 2nd year and I can assure you all that the admissions office was the rudest office that I have ever had to deal with here at Maryland. The admissions office is the rudest but you only have to deal with them as an applicant (unless you want to work for the adcom), and the financial aid office is pretty incompetent, but everyone else here (everyone that matters anyways) will treat you very nicely. 🙂 PM me if any of you guys have any general questions about the school, and I will try my best to respond with what I know. I don't work for adcom, so I am not very familiar with what's going on with the admissions process this year, I just know that 2yrs ago, when I was accepted, they only took the 3 weeks they said that they were going to take to send me my letter. Good luck with your applications.
