Well there were no essays (love it!) so not much to discuss in this thread. I submitted via snail mail 7/18, got the complete email 7/21, and was invited for interview 8/12, hope that's informative for some people 😎

 

[dtepper]

ItsPat what date are you scheduled to interview and where? I'm gonna be at Camden on 9/12 at 2:00 p.m. Just curious and GOOD LUCK!

Mine's in New Brunswick on 11/7. I pushed it back so late because I'm aboard now and scheduled some time in November to go back. Good luck to you too!!!

 

[HeyGirlHey]

[shemarty]

Congrats to anybody who has an interview invite from this or any other school so far!

Remember to post them on the interview invite threads 🙂 It's helpful for other SDN members, not only this year but also in the future!

Thanks!

just to give other OOS applicants a heads up. they won't process our applications until like later in the cycle. i called and was told that even though i was complete in july they want to look at most of the IS applicants first.

thanks! One less school to worry about for now

 

[chessodoc]

Still haven't gotten their secondary, lol, I want my 30 bucks back.

 

[IssaErie]

Hey everyone-

Has anyone that's been complete after 8/13 received notification of any kind (i.e. interview or rejection???)

Tx!

 

[serendpt1984]

I've been complete 8/15 and I have an interview next week.
But I'm NJ resident.

 

[fuzzywuz]

Complete email received on 8/26. Still nothing. OOS.

Email indicates OOS are interviewed "in the Fall/Early Winter."

I'm tempted to call.

 

[OldBlue]

So the instructions say not to include "application materials such as letters of recommendation or transcripts along with the application fee."

However, I've got some activity-related updates (not on my primary) of which I'd like to make them aware. What's the best way to do that? Email it to them? Put a document in with the application fee since it isn't technically "application materials?" Has anyone else dealt with this?

 

[fuzzywuz]

I called them about submitting updates. I think you just mail the payment ALONE.

Then submit it by email. (They accept updates via email according to the conversation I had with admissions)

I used the address they gave for sending LORs (which looks like the main admissions office address). Since those are supposed to go into your file, I figured that whatever else I sent there had a chance of getting into the file also.

 

[serendpt1984]

Accepted this morning via email

 

[dtepper]

what date did you interview on serendpt1984? And Congrats!!!

 

[richse]

I've been complete since 8/15 and have not heard anything. I'm in-state too. Anyone else in the same boat?

 

[bluesmd]

any OOS with interviews yet? or are they reviewed later?

 

[fuzzywuz]

None yet. I called about it and they said probably end of the year..

 

[inmytree14]

So I have very basic stats for RWJ as an in-state student.
Last year, it seemed like there were ~1250 in state applicants, ~450 interviews, and ~140 in state matriculants. [This is according to the stats on an SDN member's sweet school selector spreadsheet - don't have MSAR]
Does anyone know, however, how many interviewed students were accepted? I'd go there in a heartbeat.
Thanks yall

[muggle911]

has anyone called the admissions office to check on their app? (are they receptive to status check calls after you've been marked complete?) Thanks!

I called a while back and they were friendly. The person who answered told me I'd hear something pretty soon and I got an interview shortly thereafter.

 

[muggle911]

thank you! that's comforting, I'll give them a call 🙂 b/c it's been over a month.

 

[Day man]

Apparently a large amount of students who interview are accepted on the spot? Can anyone confirm this? I interview 12/5 in camden. Really, really want this one, great school near home.

 

[mrmedschool]

Yay!! I was just accepted by phone. Definitely one of my top choices and great location for me. I interviewed exactly 6 weeks ago so I cannot confirm the on-the-spot acceptances.

How long after you called did you receive your interview? I called maybe 2 weeks ago and she told me the same thing, but I haven't heard anything.

 

[airplanes]

Were there a lot of OOS students at any of your interview days? I know they said they wait until January or so before they look at most OOS applicants but I was just wondering..

 

[Day man]

Did anyone interview at the Camden location? Just wondering how it went, ect. Would like the on-the-spot but I'll settle for a 6 week acceptance 😉

It was probably a week or two later but I was told it was that fast only because they had someone cancel and I was on the list for an interview sometime in the future.

I went for my interview on a Monday and did not see any other interviewees. It seems like they only have lots of interviewees together for the Thursday and Friday Lunch sessions.

wait you were the ONLY interviewee for the day. like in the morning did you have an orientation or a financial aid session or anything. and you were the only person 😱

to answer OOS questions. on the interview invite list OOS people have already received invites. so i think they have already looked at them and passed over most including me

It's not like that, the interview is just an interview. In and out in ~1 hour. No financial aid or orientation stuff. They offer an info session on Thursdays and Fridays that you can call and sign up for once you have an interview invite.

 

[Day man]

Had my interview at 9am on the Camden campus with the Dean of students. Loved the school, and interview went really well. He said they meet every other week to decide acceptances, and the next meeting is the 23rd. Hopefully I can get into that decision pool. I'll definitely go here if accepted, the price tag and curriculum combination is amazing.

 

[bluesmd]

congrats for all interviewees. is anyone an OOS?

 

[MudPhudHopeful]

Is anybody interviewing on January 9th?

 

[Day man]

I'm in state...I visited the main campus and had my interview on separate dates. I was the only one at my interview, but during the campus tour no one was an out of stater.

 

[richse]

Anyone else going to the Jan 9th winter reception?

 

[HammockUp]

I didn't hear, is it only for accepted/interviewed student? if not, where do i sign up?

 

[NJDIF]

i believe the receptions are for accepted students.

 

[Day man]

I haven't heard of the reception on January 9th, what's it all about? I won't be able to attend...but should I have been invited?

It's for accepted students to meet with current students and faculty. I think it is like a second look even though is seems quite a bit earlier than most other second looks. I will be there and thought maybe I'd see some other SDNers there.

 

[Tiki]

Don't worry, they'll have additional accepted student days in the spring and early summer.

 

[Day man]

Anyone who was accepted:

What time did the phone call come? Or does anyone know what time the committee meets? My interviewer said he was going to try to get me into this review session...so just curious how long I should neurotically sit by my phone. Thanks.

 

[mets1986]

just a head's up....this afternoon is the last adcom meeting of the year. Dr. Terrogino makes calls to those accepted and then you recieve an e-mail. good luck to all! oh they typically meet around 3-4pm and are done around 6 ish....
