They are. The woman I spoke with from the admissions office told me that they are hoping to get interview invites out by the end of January. Soooo... there's still hope for those of us who are waiting! *fingers crossed*

I met with a director of admissions at the end of december (12/30 I believe), and there were only 5 II spots left at that point. By now, I would assume that there probably are not any spots left anymore. :(

Nooo, so should the rest of us be expecting a rejection email soon? :(
 
They will likely email us all rejections at the very end of the cycle

Congratulations! RWJMS does the MMI, as I'm sure you know. We all had to sign NDA's, so I can't go into too much detail, but it is a very relaxed atmosphere. The student ambassadors do a great job of explaining their experiences with the school and calming your nerves before the interviews start. Good luck!

Are decisions released March 13 or 15? The wait is killing me!

do they release all decisions on the same day? I know they're non-rolling but that seems like a really fast turn-around for the Feb 27th interview date

Can anyone confirm decision release day? I was told during II that it was all released Mar. 20th, but I think some people were told the 6th, 13th, or 15th?

Also, does anyone know if they accept LOI post-interview?

I would like to know this as well. I'm interviewing here on Monday and will 100% attend if accepted. Does putting that in a letter make a difference sometimes?
 
Does anyone know where I can find more information on the full scholarship offered? I know there is an opportunity for accepted students to apply by submitting an essay, but I can't seem to find more information.

Also - does anyone know how popular the MD - MBA program is?
 
I know RWJ does like semi-rolling so they notify everyone sometime in mid-March who didn't get notified in December, but does that still mean that the later the interview date, the lower chance you'd have? Grateful for getting an interview, but want to see if interviewing really late is going to have a significant impact.

Interviewed in the first group this morning. I got a good vibe from the students but it really sucks that the hospital is not a walkable distance away from the medical school.

Hope you hear good news!

You are correct that the main academic building, where the interviews were held, is in Piscataway on the opposite side of the river from New Brunswick, where the hospital is. But the hospital is attached to an auxiliary academic building complete with a library and, as I recall from a former student, where some classes are held in the later years (3 & 4).
 
When are accepted students given the opportunity to apply for the full scholarship?

Congratulations on your interview! I don't know if you've sent your thank you email yet, but if you haven't, make sure you put that you will 100% accept their offer of admission should they give it to you.
