I only saved the PDF file for my records and the formatting seemed fine. How did your PDF file look? Was the formatting also off?

Mine looked weird but if you made the window bigger the formatting looked right, who knows. If it happened to us it prolly happened to a lot of people

There's a break after every sentence every other sentence. It just looks incredibly sloppy I don't get what happened.

Yeah I guess I shouldn't worry about this. NJMS is my dream school and I worked nonstop trying to make the essays perfect over the past day and a half, and seeing this happen to my final result was really upsetting.

Anyone know if they send you an e-mail saying if your application is officially complete?
No email acknowledging completion.
Yeah I got that too, was just wondering if they got my LOR. Guess they don't ever send you a completion e-mail then it looks like.
To those who have gotten in ED already how long after your interview did you find out and on which day?
I would like to know this also! I assume it also depends on how quickly our interviewer gives the admissions office their feedback.
I interviewed over two weeks ago and still haven't gotten a response

I also had weird spacing on my secondary. It was like sometimes there was a big space between the question and my answer, while other times there was a big space between an answer and the next question.
I don't think it's a big deal. They are legible and definitely aren't caused by something we did.

...and the wait is officially killing me. Hope they dont dilly dally with ED so I'm not even more late everywhere else. I thought waiting for the MCAT results were bad but this is way worse because there's not an actual day to look towards. I do know that the adcom meets on thursdays tho.
Yes the wait is brutal and to be rejected after an interview would crush me 🙁 I really hope we find out soon!!! Maybe the committee met today and we are getting a call tomorrow haha
Yea that would totally be crushing...how long ago did you interview? I feel like they are backed up but dean Heinrich said within 2 weeks for early decision. Let's hope we get in soon!
I got the call on a Saturday, I interviewed the week before. This was really early on though so I know they weren't backed up. I think right now since they're also accepting RD secondaries they must be pretty backed up 🙁

I interviewed this week! I know I'm just being impatient but the wait is kiillliiinnggg me! What about you?
same....I'm going to PM you, I feel like we were on the same day lol
Sorry if this has been asked. Does NJMS email you when your application is complete (Submission of Secondary + Receipt of Letters)? Thanks!
I got an email when I submitted my secondary but I'm ED idk if that's different
No email when I was "complete" just when I submitted the secondary

Yep that's what I meant by Dr. Heinrich
Yeah, but like who did he say it to and in what context.
He said it both at a Q and A and directly to my friend during a meeting with him. They like for us GSBS students who are applying to meet with their office. He more specifically said to fill everything out because any time they have nothing to work with they will just "assume the worst".
Thanks for the clarification

We patiently wait and I have it on good authority that it won't be until around August 30th this year until RD IIs are sent.
I would imagine that this means that is when they plan to be done with ED applicants? Dr. Heinrich told me around 2 weeks but it doesnt seem like they are sticking with that timeline...
I'm still waiting. I'll post if I hear any news. When did you interview?
7/19!
Ah!!! I interviewed way after you so I guess I have a long wait to go. I hope you hear something soon!
A liaison to the ad com said that will be around the time they come out. Maybe that's also their goal date to be finished ED applications?
Sounds plausible but I hope I hear news sooner I dont want to be that late at other schools...
Are you an ED applicant?
I'm sure they'll get you guys done soon! They brag a lot about how low risk their ED is
Yes I am ED...The only reason I did it was because Dr. Heinrich told me there would a 48 hour turnaround after I submitted my MCAT as to whether or not I would get an interview and a two week turnaround after an interview to find out if I got in. He seems like a guy who sticks to his word.
That's what I was told as well. I'm at two weeks now. Hoping for an answer soon!
I have a theory that they were waiting for a decent sized cohort and that after this thursdays meeting we will be getting the call (I hope). If you notice it seems like all the earlier people on here were accepted in rounds....or maybe I just like to drive myself crazy with theories instead of just being patient.
