Just got my II!! Early decision!
Thats awesome man. Good luck to you hopefully I'll see you around come next august.That awesome congratulations! I'm a Marine veteran finishing my undergrad at Rutgers. I applied ED just waiting for my July 2nd mcat to post and my application will be complete including the secondary.
It was conversational, definitely not your traditional interview. No formal questions. Just be yourself and talk to the other person like a human being.Can anyone who interviewed for early decision shed some light on what the interview was like and what questions they asked? Thanks!!
I'm about to turn in my Secondary for ED, everything else is in! cGPA: 3.63, sGPA: 3.42, MCAT 32 from top 10 U. What are my chances like?
Would also like to know...Should we assume we are complete if he have submitted secondaries/payment and the LORs are on AMCAS? They don't seem to send complete emails.
Does anyone know when they will start to work on Regular Decision applications?
Typically when the are done reviewing applications for early decision. You should interview mid-fall hopefully. Good Luck!Does anyone know when they will start to work on Regular Decision applications?

congrats!! can u please share some stats and ECs and I'm dying to get in here!!
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 statusHas anyone gotten an application complete e-mail after initially submitting the secondary? Submitted mine 11 days ago.
it was really conversational! not very stressful at all - my interviewer was really nice
You're most likely talking about the RWJMS secondary, this is the NJMS thread haha.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?
hey would you mind sharing your stats?
Congrats!! Do you mind sharing stats and if you're ED?just got mah II!!
Congrats!! Do you mind sharing stats and if you're ED?

Thanks yo, will do! Complete 7/18
I have a question....I am Egyptian but born in the states....what ethnicity should I put. There's no middle eastern option and I don't think I fit in the "White" group (which consists of all Europe and others).....what do you all think?
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.
So was @studentofsdn trolling then?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."
For those who interviewed, how was the MMI process like because I believe they do that method of interviewing. Stressful? How much time did you get to respond? etc... Would be appreciated since I would very much like to stay in NJ to be near my family!
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.

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 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.
Received an II today. Do they only conduct interviews on Mondays?
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?Finally Complete. CROSSING MY FINGERS.
