ACCEPTED!!!

I can't stop smiling!!

Congratulations to all who have been accepted! I am also thinking about all of you still waiting for your phone calls

Interviewed 11/20 OOS. Got the call around 3PM EST.

Any tips for the interview here? Also anybody know the interview/acceptance rates?

I absolutely loved my MMI experience. The best advice I can give you is to be confident in yourself, take a deep breath, and smile! This was my first and only MMI and I thought this was one of the best interviews I've had. It is the most fair and can actually be fun if you just go with it. Good luck!

So does this mean if we interviewed on 12/7 and didn't get the call we should assume waitlist?

Can someone just post once you get the email (or if you've gotten it yet) please? Thanks.

I will post when I get the email!! I know @soswim said s/he would post as well.

[soswim]

yep, still haven't gotten it yet, so you're still in the running!

 

[CookieMonster525]

Haha I wouldn't quite go that far, but I do appreciate the support 🙂

 

[Master3930]

Are calls going out again tomorrow?

 

[gh89]

I will post once I get the email as well!

 

[Flubber13]

I can personally attest that the waitlist is sent out via a letter in the mail.
- I was on it last year

 

[soswim]

Haha I wouldn't quite go that far, but I do appreciate the support 🙂

Just got the email!

Dang, this makes it feel so much more real! So thrilled to be accepted!! 🙂

[SallySue1202]

Also got the email!

 

[Gordhan]

You think they will still make calls or is that it from the earlier interview dates??

 

[#nocreativeability]

I called to ask about rejections/waitlists. They said its being sent through email (unsure starting when) and that they still have a few more acceptances to call about.

 

[gannicus89]

got the call...but not the email. hmmm... slightly distressing lmao.

 

[gh89]

I'm in the exact same boat lol!

 

[gannicus89]

I'm in the exact same boat lol!

I'm going to call on Friday if I get nothing by then lol

 

[o boy o boy o boy]

Is the interview open or closed file?

 

[gh89]

I'm going to call on Friday if I get nothing by then lol

Email received at 9:15 this morning!!!

 

[gh89]

Is the interview open or closed file?

It's MMI format haha so I guess closed? You're given scenarios to respond to in a set period of time so your application isn't ever brought up.

Ok thank you!

 

[gh89]

Ok thank you!

For more information about the format you should visit the admissions website under interview! They explain it in full detail

 

[gannicus89]

Email received at 9:15 this morning!!!

I received it this morning too 🙂

 

[gannicus89]

just to confirm, the writing a letter accepting a spot is not binding right?

 

[Master3930]

Rejected post interview

 

[Mr.Wiggles]

Rejected post interview

Email? And when did you interview?

 

[silversteel4321]

anyone who interviewed on 12/11 hear back yet?

 

[wafflechip]

Email? And when did you interview?

12/7 th

I also interviewed the 7th but I havent gotten a call or a rejection email...

 

[o boy o boy o boy]

Is there a facebook group for the recently accepted?

 

[Mr.Wiggles]

Check your emails, just sent out updates.

 

[silversteel4321]

was put on the alternate list :/

 

[silversteel4321]

Anyone know if there is a high priority alternate list this year?

 

[gh89]

just to confirm, the writing a letter accepting a spot is not binding right?

Nope!

 

[#nocreativeability]

was put on the alternate list :/

Is the alternate list just a waitlist? There's also a "competitive category" but I have no idea what that is or what it is in relation to the alternate list.

 

[silversteel4321]

Does the waitlisted email say "competitive"? Did anyone get an email saying that they were put into any list other than just the alternate list?

 

[manj10]

Yeah my email says that I'm in the cometitive category. It doesn't seem to be a wait list. They said that they would make a decision on my application in the upcoming months.

 

[#nocreativeability]

^ditto

 

[mddodunno]

Does anyone know this difference between alternative list and competitive category?

 

[yolobro123]

Does anyone know this difference between alternative list and competitive category?

Alternative list you are on the waitlist. The competitive category, you still have a shot for a direct acceptance in coming months or they will put you on the alternative list

Unfortunately I have something going on on January 6th. How important is it to attend the accepted students day? Will there be more days scheduled later? Is this basically same as second look?

Hey, current RWJMS M2 here! There will be another accepted student's day in the spring if you can't make this one; it's usually in April. The event is mostly for you to meet some current and accepted students and to see the clinical sites available at the University Hospital in New Brunswick. It differs from a traditional second look in the way that the reception is held on a different campus than the one you were at on your MMI day, which was in Piscataway. The information won't be any different though!

 

[o boy o boy o boy]

Can anyone comment on how many people have already accepted a seat in the class / how many acceptances have been given out. Is there a live tracker like at other schools?
