I don't really remember what others were wearing, but I think I wore slacks and a sweater and did not feel out of place.

If you wore dark wash jeans and a nice top I don't think anyone would notice or care, but I'd say most people will probably be in dress pants or khakis and the equivalent of a dress shirt or sweater.

I was planning on wearing khakis and a nice sweater or long sleeve shirt if that’s helpful

I emailed them yesterday asking for a status update from the interview waitlist. Got an email this morning that they apparently emailed me yesterday buuuuutttt I got off the waitlist!!!! I’ll be interviewing this Saturday!!!!!
Emailed this morning, its weird that you didnt hear and they emailed you.
 
wow. I guess we should be emailing them.
Emailed still on waitlist...lord if I got off I'd drop the dog off,pack a bag, and drive up immediately as its a 16hr drive from here o.o least it was when I went to washington D.C by car. Probably won't though as I dont think anyone else will be declining 🙁
 
🙁

So how’d everyone think they did?

I think my interviews went well, I was very comfortable in most of the scenarios (hopefully not too comfortable?). I think I thought through them well and spoke fairly clearly. I’m afraid my responses were just “good” and not stellar. Although Dr. Pelzer did say that the least nervous interviewees usually do very well, which makes me feel better.

I think I did a good job of representing myself. Hopefully, it aligns with their admissions criteria. It feels like a crapshoot with so many qualified candidates. I've got no idea how they'll rate me.

I think I did well, I wasn't nervous and was myself, so I hope I discussed enough of what they were looking for.

So while they’re looking at our numbers, I figured I’d look at their numbers

Does anyone know of its possible to get in-state tuition after getting in state residency?

In general, if you were offered an OOS seat you will pay OOS tuition all four years even if you become a VA resident during that time.

Talk to the admissions staff for sure if you have a specific situation in mind but if you are an OOS student you will probably have to sign something that says you acknowledge that you will pay OOS tuition all four years.

(The only special circumstance I can think of that *might* be able to swing a change in residency is if you are using military benefits to pay for school.)
 
Does anyone know of any MD IS residents who were wait listed but later accepted? My nerves are shot!
