University of Maryland School of Medicine acceptance rate
PreMD does not publish an acceptance rate for individual schools. The free national sources publish applications and matriculants, not the number of offers a school made, so an acceptance rate cannot be calculated from them without inventing the missing number.
What can be published from those figures is the ratio: University of Maryland School of Medicine received 7,186 applications for 171 seats in the entering class, or about 42 applications per seat.

University of Maryland School of Medicine interview
Two interviews are conducted in a one-on-one format by trained faculty and student interviewers. Interviews usually last about 45 minutes.
PreMD reads that as a one-on-one interview, and sets up its interview practice for this school accordingly.
August 2026
Our interview day format will be remote in order to keep our applicants and SOM community safe and to ensure equity in the admissions process. Applicants will receive a presentation from the Office of Financial Aid, an information session conducted by the Associate Dean or Assistant Dean for Admissions, and will meet current students during the lunch and a Q&A. We will host in-person campus visits for the 2026 cycle for accepted students, and we will welcome accepted students to our campus in the late winter of 2027 for a Second Look visit.

University of Maryland School of Medicine rankings
PreMD does not publish a ranking of medical schools and does not republish anyone else's. Ranking tables are licensed products, and a number reproduced here without its methodology and its year is worse than no number at all.
What this page publishes instead is the comparison above: where the school's own reported figures sit among the MD programs that report the same figure, with the count of reporting programs stated so the comparison can be judged.
