Alegna86- did you hear from them yet? I interviewed Dec 3, still waiting to hear a decision..Congrats to all of you!
Did anyone who interviewed at UMDNJ after December 1 hear back from them yet?? This is my top choice and I am hoping to hear from them next month.

Can someone share why they chose UMDNJ? I'm not from the area but I applied because it's a state school and I'm hoping that I can get state tuition by the 2nd year. Do they have a great pre-clinic? great clinic? a lot of patients? etc?
Just got the call! Accepted into the Class of 2015!
Hey, when did you interview? And did your AADSAS change as well?
No changes to AADSAS yet. And this is going to sound odd, but I just interviewed this morning. I am a non-traditional candidate though and I guess the ADCOM really liked my background (8 years of military service and defense contracting).
Hope you hear something soon Alegna!
If UMDNJ moves to Rutgers-Camden I am not sure I would still go the NJDS. Camden has to be worse than Newark! With the medical school moving to the main campus of Rutgers it would make sense to move the dental school to the Camden campus. Now what??

Hmm, can you explain where you heard this? I was not told that NJDS would be moving to Camden. I would think this would have been brought up during the interview.
I do not believe the med schools/dental schools are affiliated with Rutgers any longer but please correct me if I am wrong.
Gov. Christie had a news conference last week where he said there would be "substantial fundamental changes" to UMDNJ with the medical school moving to Rutgers main campus. The hospital would be operated by a third party. If there is no medical school, no UMDNJ hospital, it seems logical to move the dental school too. The medical school would become the Robert Wood Johnson School of Medicine at Rutgers University. There was NO mention of the dental school, whatsoever!
With the budget shortfalls and no improvement on the horizon, the dental school looks like it will be underfunded if it stays in Newark, or relocated to the Camden campus with moderate funding, or dissolved to save money.
NJ politics at their very best! The only way to "save" the dental school would be to move it to the southern part of the state. Camden needs the jobs and tax revenue more than Newark.
