hey everyone! After effectively writing off the possibility of attending UMd (b/c I thought their interview season was over), to my immense shock and INCREDIBLE happiness, I received an interview invite yesterday! I can't tell you how excited I am!
I used to live in Baltimore, and unlike most people, I absolutely
love it. I spent 6 years there after college (i'm non-trad, obviously)- 5 in Mt. Vernon and the last in Mt. Washington. I think the idea of attending school just blocks from Lexington Market and Camden Yards sounds like a little bit of heaven to me.
I can't wait to visit the campus and see the facilities!
I read earlier in this thread that one of you current MS-Is wrote posts elsewhere about why you like b-more -- can you point me towards those posts? In the mean time, fingers crossed that soon I'll be joining the "where should I live and how much will I study" discussion.
