I had an interview with 2 faculty members. that interview was a disaster. i felt like i was doing an exam for college. they asked me to explain how XRD and NMR machines work, an example of polymerization reaction, what the type of biodegradation happens to poly(lactic acid). I confess I wasn't expecting an interview like this. I was extremely nervous. If they asked me my name at that moment, probably I wouldn't know either. Anyways... A complete disaster. I received a notification to check the portal. Thank God this school was not my top choice. Wish ya'll who were accepted luck!

If you've received an offer from UMD and aren't intending on going, please inform them!

Funding is yet to be decided. They informed me that the funding decisions will be made by the first week of April.

MSE ChemBE program, offered $16k yearly scholarship (25% of tuition). Will likely decline since I was admitted to my top choice, hope this helps someone on the waitlist. This concludes my application cycle 3a/1r/0w/0p
