Seems to me that they are not sending out as many acceptances as last month

...makes me believe the theory that their class is almost full by thanksgiving

Does anyone know how many attended the accepted student's breakfast on the day before thanksgiving?
 
I had my second interview today, and they said to expect to hear back in 6 to 8 weeks.

It's not a theory. Heard it straight from Dean Heinrich at his speech at Rutgers this year.
 
To people who got accepted so far, CONGRATS 🙂
And would you guys mind sharing your stats here ?
 
I saw a few 11/2 interviews have heard news, any 11/8's heard anything yet?

I had my second interview on 12/1 and it was completely different from the first one in a good way. They told me they TRY and rush the process after someone's second interview but she still said it could be at least 4 weeks again...

When I had asked them about the turnaround time after my 2nd interview they had the same answer as they had after the 1st interview - 4 to 6 weeks.
 
Quick question: I interviewed 10/5/11, and 10 weeks later I have not heard back from them at all. No second interview invite, no waitlist notification. Is this the signs of a rejection?
 
Anyone got accepted in the last 3-4 days ? If YES when did you interview ?
 
Just got the call! Dr. Heinrich should be giving out more calls tonite too, I think it's gonna be a long night for him. Interviewed 10/11.

Congrats! I guess that means we can get calls any day of the week, and not just over the Friday through Monday.
 
Been complete here since October, and haven't heard anything. Not even a "your app is complete and under review" message. Is this typical? Or a silent rejection, do ya think?

Best of luck to you!!!

I am able to access the "schedule and interview" page on their website--I can see the open interview dates for December and everything. Think that means something? Or just a glitch?
 
Has anyone from Nov 14th hear back yet?

Waitlisted..

Really pissed off. Interviewed twice, had to reschedule some grad school exams, drive back to NJ... all for nothing. Really thought my second interview went great too.

On a side note - they made the waitlist decision before my grad school semester grades were sent to them so I just emailed them over. I'm sure there's no way that's reason enough to re-evaulate my file but maybe it'll be a Christmas miracle.

I am sorry to hear that 🙁 I hope you get an acceptance somewhere soon I have a feeling you will! IDK what to make of the fact that I havent heard anything. No second interview no waitlist nothing. People who interviewed afterwards have heard one way or another. Is that a good thing or bad? Looking at previous threads doesnt really help much. I always come away with the conclusion that It aint over till its over. Sighhh
 
Anyone here anything lately? I emailed admissions and they said I havent been reviewed yet

I called a few days ago and was told the same. interviewed 11/8

I cant help but think that we have been reviewed at least once already. May be they are holding back on a final decision just to see who else they can accept. Just a thought :xf:
 
Accepted a couple days before Christmas. Interviewed 11/17. Good luck to everyone!
 
Just thought I would let the recently accepted students know that there is Facebook group for the incoming class. It is called NJMS 2016.
 
Congrats everyone. I am an alumni from Class of 1999. NJMS will give you a great start in medicine. Although it doesn't have the prestige of some other schools, it always sends its students to some of top residency programs around the country. My advice is to study hard, get junior AOA, and you will do very well in your chosen careers.

Yea. He said it at the accepted student brunch too, which was before Thanksgiving, that the class has already been filled pretty much.
 
Growl. Waitlisted. Interviewed 10/17 and then 12/14.

I assume I would have been told in the email if I were put on the "High Priority" (actual) waitlist?

How many types of waitlisting is there

waitlist, alternate ....?
 
I'm pretty sure "alternate" = regular waitlist = rejection for NJMS, but I wouldn't take my word for it.

Looking at last year's thread, there was a "High Priority" waitlist where a high proportion of students got in during June and July.
 
Still nothing since submitting my secondary. Not even a "your app is complete" message and it's been months and months 🙁 Silent rejection, probably. Should I call and demand an official rejection letter? Surely my app fee was worth at least that. lolz.
