Members do not see this ad.

No my friend interviewed in December and got called a week later, I guess bc she was at the end of that block? A current m1 interviewed in jan and got called about 6 weeks later in mid Feb. That's why I'm wondering even though I know they are supposed to do block admissions.

I don't think they did block admissions last year. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

correct. its been mentioned a few times on this thread

Waitlisted today. Interviewed early January. Good luck to everyone waiting to hear back.

I assume a decent number of people, although not everyone who interviewed. Earlier in the thread there were rejections reported post interview as well as previous year's threads. By today, RWJ, as per AAMC terms, should have at least extended enough acceptances to fill each spot once. Waitlist movement happens when accepted students rescind their acceptance.

 

[trainracepace]

did it specify high priority on anyone's email? mine just says alternate list

 

[aladinforever]

Mine said just alternate list as well. From previous threads, it appears that being on the high-priority waitlist means that they make a decision in the coming weeks on whether to place you on the waitlist or to give you an acceptance.

 

[kubb_champ]

This is what it said on mine.

At this point in time the Committee has voted to place your application on our high priority alternate list. Currently the class is overbooked but it has been the experience of the Admissions Office that as accepted applicants accept other positions and withdraw from our class, we are indeed able to offer acceptances to applicants on our high priority alternate list. Such actions usually occur in the spring or early summer months.

Ahh well I'm super happy to be even considered. Although it's not a positive for me in terms of WL movement, I really love that many people consider RWJMS their top choice. Hope to hear good news in the spring/summer.

[kubb_champ]

The match lists at RWJMS are truly impressive. Most schools I interviewed at keep saying they have the best curriculum but that is not always reflected in the match list.

Can a current student please explain some of the factors that contribute to the consistently great match lists at RWJMS?

 

[Hakunamatata13]

Has anyone been called off any of the alternate lists?

4 people to CHOP?! That's impressive. High priority alternate here but OOS so tuition may stop me from going if accepted.

 

[aladinforever]

Called them recently and they told me that movement (if any) will only begin in June.

 

[vijayp2011]

Did you ask about alternate lists in general or did you specify high priority wait list?

I believe today is the day accepted students should hear back about the Chancellor's Scholarship...if anyone hears good news, 1) Congratulations! and 2) can you let us know?!

I just asked about movement in general. Are you on the high priority list?

I was wondering about this too... I thought we would have been notified even if we didn't get it, but got nothing so far.

Maybe we need to email admissions and ask...just need to decide when is appropriate. hmm haha

 

[asfd]

Just received an e-mail from Dr. Copeland that the winners had been notified last week

 

[kjj17]

rumor has it that they've overaccepted again, and waitlist movement is unlikely

 

[vijayp2011]

Where did you hear this? Almost every school 'over accepts' with initial acceptances


Sent from my iPhone using SDN mobile

 

[kjj17]

uh I'm a M1 here, and I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned on this thread that our year was way overenrolled which is why your class was supposed to be smaller, but apparently it's overenrolled again

 

[FutureMrDr]

Interesting, I spoke to Dr Copeland a week ago and she mentioned that they were incredibly conservative with acceptances this year and that she expects waitlist movement this time around.

I spoke to her to and she said there would be some movement on the waitlist as well. I don't think we can conclude anything until after April 30th.

I think listening to Dr. Copeland would be the best idea considering she is part of the admissions staff.

 

[averagemed]

Do you guys think it would be a good idea to send updates/letter of interest if you're on the regular priority wait list?

 

[vijayp2011]

Are you on the regular or high priority or competitive hold waitlist?

[o boy o boy o boy]

Do you guys think it would be a good idea to send updates/letter of interest if you're on the regular priority wait list?

I would think things that are likely to effect your position on the waitlist like grades/publications/scores would be helpful. People seem to say that LOI generally are not too helpful without new information.

 

[kjj17]

I heard from someone who heard from Dean T, so who knows! I'm guessing Dr. Copeland is accurate though

 

[itsogre]

match list

strong work. wish I was at robert wood now instead of where I am haha

also, "overacceptance" happens at Robert Wood Johnson almost every year. Last year they overfilled their class, and had to offer people incentives to delay enrollment until this year's class.

 

[kjj17]

no, not almost every year... last year they were trying to increase the class size a bit and majorly overshot it (we're abou 200). this year they were aiming for 160 I believe but may have overshot again

 

[SMag06]

Accepted as of a phone call this morning. BEYOND excited.

Congrats! were you accepted off the waitlist?

Yes. "High priority alternate list." Interviewed Feb. 1. They told me that they would have accepted me straight through had they not overbooked last year/had they received my application earlier. I was surprised because I thought I bombed the RWJ interview... literally thought it was my worst interview out of all 5.
