2015-2016 Rosalind Franklin University Application Thread

[Eye on MD]

Members do not see this ad.

I used RFUMS (for Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, their full name), but you can use CMS as well.

I used RFUMS as well.
Also, I called today about sending in more than 3 LOR. While this is acceptable, RFUMS cannot guarantee that more than 3 will be seen by the AdCom.

I am currently finalizing my secondary....does anyone know if its acceptable to use abbreviations for the school? That 100 word limit is tough! If it is acceptable, what abbreviation should be used? RFU? CMS? Any insight is appreciated 🙂

They abbreviate their school name in the prompt as "RFUMS" if I remember correctly. I would use that abbreviation just to play it safe.

+1. Very excited. So sorry Nigmizole.

+1! So glad I did not get the troll II! I still can't believe that kind of mistake was allowed to happen though.

Any ideas from previous years when Rosy starts sending out IIs?

 

[HybridEarth]

They already did

what about rejections?

 

[NovMSScr]

I just got an email saying my application is still incomplete but I don't know how..... They sent me an email saying they got my supp, the money has been taken out of my account, and all of my letters have been received by every other school. What could
I possibly be missing???

Hello,
I'm a Canadian with a 3.55 cgpa and 3.3 sgpa. I'm going to write my mcat in early jan of 2016.

1) I wanted to know my chances of getting into this SMP.

2) I was wondering if they were any Canadian students in your smp. Did they get into CMS?

3) Does CMS discriminate against BMSers who are Canadian when you apply for their med school?

This thread is for the medical school class. The thread for the SMP is http://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/rosalind-franklin-bms-2015-2016.1095156/ they would probably be able to help you more. Good luck!

Either we applied to all the same schools or you spammed the same message on every thread. Really not necessary.

This gives me hope as our stats seem fairly similar. Come on, show loveee!!!

 

[rukia013]

Did anyone else get a duplicate application complete email? I got two but both were sent about 2 weeks apart from each other so idk if it's a computer glitch in their system...?? I'm pretty sure I only submitted my secondary once... 😵

 

[mauroz]

II just now! OOS. LizzyM =71 Secondary complete 7/11.

 

[Nigmizole]

What happened with your payment?

 

[chocoholicsoxfan]

Oh wow just realized they do MMI. So that means both interviews I have so far are in that format.

Where else does MMIs? 🙂

 

[NovMSScr]

What happened with your payment?

I have no idea. They're telling me that they don't have it. The payment was made directly after submitting my secondary, the money has been removed from my account, and the description shows that it was made to Rosalind Franklin.

 

[chocoholicsoxfan]

Well I know Duke does them, and my interview there is in mid-September! Idk where else though- I haven't looked that much into it.

oh cool! i think it's a very cool format, assesses a totally different aspect of the applicant than a regular interview.

This actually happened to me at another school but they resolved it after a couple days, hope it gets fixed soon!

Thanks. I've been emailing them but it has been unproductive. I've tried calling twice.

MSAR Stats for the curious: they interview 600/12000 applicants for 190 seats.

 

[Mr. Bones]

Got my II today!! 🙂 Rosalind Franklin wasn't a top choice when first selecting schools for the primary app, but after delving into the program and learning about their interprofessional curriculum when filling out the secondary, this school is easily in my top 5 now.

Mind sharing your stats and when you were complete?

I completed the app 7/13. I'm OOS (MN) though I went to college in AZ and have been working here since graduating. 3.5 gpa & 30 MCAT. Not the greatest numbers I guess but I have exceptional research experience (if I do say so myself) and lots of health and service-related experiences.

 

[IlyaR]

How long did it take you guys to get complete? I submitted on 7/30 and still no email

Same here. Submitted 7/28 and got a "thanks for the secondary, wait for a complete email," but no complete email. I'm guessing they're sifting through tons of apps right now, as my scores and LOR's have been received at most of the other schools I applied to.
