Yay congrats! Perhaps it's just wishful thinking, but I think it is WAY too early in the cycle for how many people here have given up on getting a secondary. Bummed about the wait but still hopeful. OOS, born in NJ, with most of my family still there. I wanna move back so bad! Good luck on your app :)

Haha I mean it's super early-- but not that early for receiving secondaries when you were verified early June. I know how great of a school it is and wish everyone the best here!

Wow the 1 month mark for this secondary totally crept up on me... still worth submitting even though I'm OOS?
 
Is there still a chance of getting a secondary? Verified 8/8. A lot of community service experience and demonstrated interest in under served populations.

I still didn't receive one either. Pretty much giving up hope at this point. I did send them an email asking if there would be more secondaries and I did not get a response.

II! THIS IS MY FIRST CHOICE SCHOOL AND I AM SO UNBELIEVABLY STOKED. (Also my first MD interview)

In-state, non-URM, LM 69-70.

I really want to go on a run right now to burn off this energy of excitement--and I hate running 99% of the time :soexcited:

Good luck to everyone--keep the hope alive :)

Thanks! November 17th. I literally watched the calendar as the earlier dates filled up. I was trying to hold off to contact my boss (I work every other Friday usually, and all the dates are on Friday) but after seeing November 3rd and 10th disappear within one hour of me getting the invite, I jumped on the 17th before I was too late for that one too.
 
II just a bit ago.

I found this explanation online if you haven't already seen it lol. I personally didnt know about the opioid treatment informational program mentioned in the link. Definitely needed in our state and something I'm interested in. Maybe admissions could put you in contact with one of the students in the program?

Well, it's almost October. I submitted primary early-mid July. I'm still holding out hope but starting to wonder if I'll get one at all. If November roles around I feel like at that point chances are super slim. Do they ever send out a pre-secondary rejection, or do they just never send you one? I revoke my previous sense of hope x.x

Thanks for sending this my way! I hadn't seen it before. And yeah, unfortunately, it's something physicians practicing in NJ have to pay special attention to. It's scary how the epidemic is affecting people I went to school with when I was younger.

Absolutely. Same here. And what's scary it's such a suburban/middle class problem--hitting communities and families that don't have the resources/knowledge to properly deal with addiction. Heroin isn't limited to the "bad" parts of town anymore, and communities need to seriously wake up and have healthcare providers/politicians/police officers working together to develop sensible, compassionate, and effective strategies to help people. Narcan is great and all, but when an addict on NJ's Medicaid can't get into see a psychiatrist that accepts their insurance for 6-8 months then they'll never be able to get to the root of their addiction. Of course they'll relapse, and maybe overdose again waiting for that psychiatric care to come. But, I digress (sorry for the rant). Maybe we'll both end up at Cooper and get to do something about it in the epicenter of Camden :highfive:

Is anyone planning on doing the 3-year program?? Will be more advantageous to apply for it?

If you look at the link someone posted in response to one of my posts, it says that the program is only accepting a total of 4 students, 2 pediatrics and internal medicine track students respectively. Apparently it's a super competitive selection process to get into the 3 year program. Just as a heads up.

It would be humbling to be at Cooper. We especially need to address this epidemic seriously because a lot of the people falling victim to it are young people from middle income households.

Looks this thread has been dead for a few days lol.
For you OOS applicants, there's at least some hope, cause I just got my II today! Complete 8/18, so I figured they totally forgot about me but I guess not ;)
