My interview was in afternoon, too... :(
Did anyone have an interview in the morning??
I know it won't take more than two weeks to get the result but still waiting is hard..!
Keeping my fingers crossed......

Does anybody know if they make final decisions solely based on the performance in the interview or do they look at the whole profile (stats,experience...) to make a final decision. I do NOT think I did well in the interview? How did everyone's go?
 
And also, when are we hearing back from them? next week or this week?im so tired of this waiting game!
 
Sounds great, I hope everybody here gets accepted! I was pretty nervous at the interview but am praying to god every free second I get.... praying and hoping! I think at the interview Ms. B said we should hear back by next Wednesday... so a week from today, Anybody else heard different?. I'm praying for good news.
 
I've found a thread written in 2007, saying your interview performance counts for 50% of the UMB admission process while the pre-interview application (GPA, PCAT, EC, PS, etc..) counts for the other 50%.
For now I am like checking SDN & my gmail every minute and anticipating, anticipating, and anticipating... and anticipating..... and it's just so hard. BUT if I just forget about it, I may hear good news as a surprise.:)
So let all of us be occupied with something productive and helpful..!!
Only one more week to wait :)
 
Does anybody know if we will be hearing back on wednesday? So adcom meets tuesday? Im so confused and nervous, anybody know? If so please post :)
 
I didn't sleep; so anxious. Do you think if the ad com meets today that acceptance letters will be send out this afternoon?:xf:

Hey, this question is maybe off topic but can you explain to me what's considered by 'distance learning' ? and how do you like it?

It is considered distance learning because the main campus is in Baltimore while we are in Rockville (about 45 minutes away). This program has only been at UMB for 4 years now and they are constantly improving. There has been a major shift from recording all classes in Baltimore to now only recording some and having most classes live at both campuses synchronously. Since they just opened a brand new building in Baltimore, they have more rooms to use for synchronous class than they did before. I can only tell you personally how I liked SG campus, but it may be different now because of the increased use of synchronous technology and the different curriculum.

For me, first year was mostly watching classes online and I found really hard to adjust from normal class. Once I did adjust, I loved it. I had so much more freedom to watch my classes when I wanted to watch. Also, I would watch them twice, normally that day and then closer to the exam. I am a hearing learner was it was SO helpful to be able to watch/listen again without having to write so many notes. You can watch the classes as many times as you want, and BOTH campuses have access to the recorded lectures.

Second year was again mostly online but introduced more live synchronous classes. Now in 3rd year they are mostly synchronous. Most of the lectures are recorded and we do a few cases a week that are live. Electives are usually live. I love having a combination of both. Although you do need to keep up with the recorded lectures because of the cases.

Also, we do have professors that are based out of SG so you always have someone to ask questions to in person, and everyone is constantly on email so that really hasn't been an issue for me. I definitely prefer the shady grove campus for convenience and parking. Each class has 120 students in Baltimore and 40 at SG so the SG students are a close group and you really get to know everyone really well.

Does that answer your question? feel free to PM me too

Thank you very much for your detailed respond. Thats pretty much everything i wanted to know. SG is closer to my house so in that way it would be better for me since i would live at home, however im not so sure I would be able study anything by distance learning :) I usually have a hard time concentrating on listening lectures online... I like the classroom environment much more...

However, let me first get the interview and then ill think about campuses , haha

Thanks once again Magenta1
