Both NJMS and RWJMS are Rutgers-Affiliated, but they are independent institutions. NJMS is located in Newark, NJ and is associated with University Hospital (among others in the area), while RWJMS is located in New Brunswick, NJ, and associated with hospitals in that area. Although both schools are part of Rutgers, they have separate applications.

Thanks!!!
Nope...
when did you submit/get verified?
I submitted June 7th and got verified the same day.
Received secondary!
Are you ED?
i believe so...applied ED and got my secondary Friday night. Friend who applied broadly and submitted primary application same time as me hasn't gotten a secondary yet.
Cool I'm breathing a sigh of relief lol. A know a few other people applying ED who got their secondary Friday.
Do you guys know if we can write NA for questions that don't apply to us? For instance, one question asks "If you don't currently reside in NJ, please share connections (if any) you may have."
Agree with yowyyz, would someone mind posting the prompts? Thank you!

I am putting N/A for that question. I'm answering the rest.
Has anyone received an interview yet? NJMS website states interviews are granted as early as July 1st!
does anyone know how early can an interview be conducted on the day you schedule it for? like 9am or something?
10 am I think

The wait is already too much and this is ED!
why is this thread so quiet?
Submitted secondary last week. But have not yet heard from NJMS for an interview.. Has any one scheduled for an interview
Submitted last week too...I'm thinking they are waiting after holiday weekend to send out interviews!?

How was the interview? was it stress free?
very conversational. took the whole hour, but it wasn't really stressful.
Hm surprised that of all schools, I haven't gotten a secondary from this one yet! Cooper and RWJ came in over the weekend.

go change your status to med student!
I am applying regular decision but still have not received a secondary yet despite being verified at AMCAS on June 14. Has anyone not applying ED received secondary from NJMS yet?
I'm also regular applicant and haven't received the secondary. I know they don't screen, so not sure what the holdup is.
