Did anyone who applied ED hear back yet? My secondary was complete 8/10 and I'm going crazy waiting to hear anything.

Just an fyi for anyone whose app isn't complete bc of LORs, I emailed yesterday regarding the red ! And seeing that they had my virtual evals. I didn't get a reply, but I checked today and my app is complete. So it seems like an e mail does the trick !

I submitted by letters via Interfolio and it was marked incomplete for weeks. I sent them an email at the end of last week and they responded very quickly stating they had received my letters and that my application was currently under review. I was then marked complete on their status page. If you think there is an error I would definitely email them. They were very nice and responded quickly.

If anyone is applying early decision, today seems to be the first day of interviews. Expecting your interview invites soon for those completed.

How do you know that? Is it listed on their website? I haven't heard anyone getting a II on here.

As a current student, I can confirm that interviews started yesterday and there were a couple more today. Good luck to everyone with IIs and interview days. It's still very early so please don't panic if you haven't heard back yet

I think they might be sending II to the early decision applicants at this point! I am sure the regular applicants will be reviewed soon enough:xf:

Yeah, I am sure they prioritize early decision first so there is no need to worry if you are still waiting on an interview invite. There are plenty of people in the current class that got interviews into March/April. This is exceedingly early in the application cycle overall and especially for Rowan SOM.

I want my decision early so I don't have to pay deposits to other schools while waiting for this school. $1500 for deposits at LECOM or CUSOM due by November. I also have a CCOM interview and ATSU-KCOM to attend soon.

Although it is still "early," I wish I can get their decision early so I don't have the stress of having to pay extra money when this is my top choice school.

If you go to the portal and view the communication status under the status tab, that should contain information on your various statuses throughout the past month, along with dates for each status update.

Could you perhaps share a anonymous screen shot. I have no idea where I am supposed to be looking
 
II here on 9/1 (not ED), OOS but born and raised in New Jersey. Coming back for some love, NJ!
 
3 of us got in from So Cal alone (class of 2019), others as well (Indiana, TX, etc) I just don't think enough OOS'ers apply. Look into PBL and pleeeeease do pre-matric if you get in.

I guessed I won't hear back from this school until OCT then. I am very excited to see what this school is all about. My supervisor is actually an alumnus of this school. I'm hoping for some military love from this school.

A few of my classmates are actually yr 4 students here. They have nothing but glowing reviews for this school.
 
do they screen out applicants? i just received secondaries from them today. or does everyone get secondaries?
 
Hello everyone,
I have a question about tuition for OOS students.
Is it possible to apply for New Jersey citizenship during your first year and then request IS tuition for the remaining 3 years?
I know some MD schools, like the SUNYs in New York, allow you to get IS tuition after your first year.

You guys always look pretty snazzy in those suits! Keep it up and remember (for those awaiting their interview date), just be yourself during the interview. They have seen your stats and everything on your application. Getting an interview invite clearly shows they are interested in you and you are capable of completing the curriculum, they just want to get to know you a little better and see if you are a good fit for the school.

Good Luck everyone!

I haven't gotten an II yet should we be expecting more IIs soon?

Absolutely, we are still SUPER early in the cycle to be worried about it. Oldenuff2nobetr has it right. I would be much more concerned if you are still waiting into December, considering you have already applied. Then again plenty of people applied much later and interviewed into March/April and still got accepted! The best think you can do is just sit back and relax. It will happen when it happens.

Anyone recommend an OOS'er to apply here?
Click to expand...

I saw someone answer this before but just to reiterate, it really depends on your stats but I would not be discouraged from applying here. At first glance our stats say we don't accept OOSers often but this is misleading as many OOSers decide not to come since they get accepted to their home state school. I would give it a shot if your stats aren't that far off from our average.

^Please see above messages

Interviews started approximately 2 weeks ago so interview invites are already going out.

It's probably skewed for the above stated reasons from us current students. (Low OOS applicants, declining in favor of other IS acceptances, etc.) From knowing the admissions staff's attitude and philosophies I don't see them rejecting good applicants just because they are OOS. Can the other current students back me up on this?

I got you!

We don't know the accepted IS/OOS rates, just the matriculation rate (approx 10-20% OOS). Realize that more than that 20-ish% are accepted, others just choose to go elsewhere for a variety of reasons

Just check the Rowan portal listed in your secondary invitation.

They are probably just busy. Generally, during my application process they were more than willing to help and very prompt with returning my phone calls/emails. I would just wait a little bit, I know how hard that is during the application process though.

Give it some time as well - if you don't hear back by the end of the week, try contacting them on Monday again.
Remember - we got like 6000 applications last year - that's A LOT of applications to read thru and worried applicants to contact/respond to. RowanSOM admissions is very responsive and good about getting back to applicants. So, just give them a couple days and remember you are not the only other person calling them right now :)
