Thats awesome man. Good luck to you hopefully I'll see you around come next august.
It was conversational, definitely not your traditional interview. No formal questions. Just be yourself and talk to the other person like a human being.
It's often difficult to give these estimates bc we don't know much of your application (ECs, PS, LORs, secondary, etc). Based on your numbers alone, you are certainly competitive. Good luck!
Would also like to know...
Just called- they do NOT email us when we are complete. As long as we send our secondary, MCAT scores and LORs, we should assume everything is good. I guess the next email we wait from them is either an II, a hold (if they do that) or a rejection?
IM IN!!!!!
+1
Typically when the are done reviewing applications for early decision. You should interview mid-fall hopefully. Good Luck!
congrats!! can u please share some stats and ECs and I'm dying to get in here!!

ED applicant
Interviewed 6/30/2014
Meet with Dr. Heinrich 7/31/2014
Accepted in person by Dr. Heinrich 7/31/2014
MCAT score 31 (11/9/11)
Science GPA 4.0
Cum GPA 3.97
ECs:
Shadowing ER about 150 hours
Volunteer ER about 125 hours
Plus about 9 other EC on my AMCAS
I don't think they send complete emails, I called the office about 2.5 weeks after I submitted the secondary to ask about my completion status
hey would you mind sharing your stats?
The secondary I got from this school is totally different from the prompts posted earlier am I missing something? the questions are very hard and about pre-professional competencies anyone got a similar secondary?
You're most likely talking about the RWJMS secondary, this is the NJMS thread haha.
in-state, early decision, gpa a little under 3.5 but took classes at the graduate school and had a 4.0 from taking 7 credits there, 31 mcat (11/10/10)
i also did research at NJMS with one of their doctors and volunteered in the ED
should we start a FB group for our class?
I submitted my secondary a while ago, and my committee letter just arrived a few days ago....should I be expecting some kind of confirmation e-mail or just a spontaneous interview invitation (assuming I got an interview)? How long does it take for them to invite for interview?
just got mah II!!
Congrats!! Do you mind sharing stats and if you're ED?
72 LizzyM (higher mcat than gpa). i'm not ed, regular MD only applicant
EDIT: Thanks!! I'm stoked for this one. sucks u gotta interview within 2 weeks of their invitation tho. no time for mock interviewing D:

And the worrying begins. Was complete 7/1
I work with a middle eastern/north African faculty member at NJMS and he categorized himself as an African American medical school candidate. I'm sure you're fine.
Geography =/= race; if you're not of a given race, I wouldn't try to pass myself off as such. Depending on heritage & lineage, people from the Middle East and North Africa can be classified as black or white.
in! ed applicant 🙂

Just fyi, I emailed them to make sure my application is complete and they informed me that "our screening committee will start to reveiw regular application within the next couple of weeks."
So was @studentofsdn trolling then?
NJMS does not do MMI, they do a traditional 1 hour faculty interview (and an optional 30 min student interview).
RWJ is the school that does MMI.
O Whoops wrong school thread, disregard the question.
I can post the text of the e-mail I got if you really would like. I agree it is quite weird that I got it and no one else on this thread seems to have. idk what to make of it.
Noooo I'm sorry I didn't mean for it to sound like that. I believe you I was just confused because I didn't know they started with RD yet. It must mean you're a great applicant!! Best of luck my dude! Sorry again!
I only asked if my application was complete, so I don't really know how to interpret what she said to me. She might have just meant that they'd be looking at MY application over the next couple weeks implying that I shouldn't email them again asking about it??

Received an II today. Do they only conduct interviews on Mondays?
Congratz! Do you mind sharing your stats?
Wait did you get some kind of confirmation email or something? All I got was a receipt telling me I paid for the secondary.....Also what is a "II"...is that an interview invite or secondary?
