What does ED mean?Does the adcom read the letter of intent at all or do they just recognize that you submitted the letter of intent as an ED requirement?
What does ED mean?
Thank you! I just wrote " i am currently interested in x,y,z. " hope that helps, good luck!Congrats on the II. When you filled out your secondary, for the "Please identify your area of professional interest below", how did you respond? Did you write out an essay describing your medical interests or simply write down "Orthopedics/Primary Care/Whatever"? This is open to anyone who got an II, would like some advice as to how to approach this one!

On the primary app when designating pre reqs it says minimum grades 2.5 although on the school's requirements page it does not mention this, does anyone know if this is a hard cutoff?
I think that's in reference to the amount of grades you can claim per subject, for example in chemistry you could claim 4 grades but no less than 2. When I say grades, I mean classes. For example, you could claim Gen Chem I- IV w/ labs for a total of 8 grades. That's the only way I can interpret what you're asking, hope that helps!
It says, using math for example, Minimum Credits 6| Minimum Grades 2.5
Congrats!! When were you complete?II!!! Super Psyched
Takes a lot longer then 2 weeks to hear back. I've been complete since early July and still haven't heard anything. Have patienceComplete mid-August, RD. Getting antsy for an II
Thanks - complete 6/28 II 8/29 - so 2 monthsCongrats!! When were you complete?
Congrats! But you were complete late August, and you heard back already? Did you apply ED?II today! LM 70 and complete late August.
Were any other dates offered besides late October? I waited until I got home from volunteering and that was all I saw. I hope I didn't miss something better because I waited 4 hours...

I applied RD and I forgot to mention I am IS. I was quite surprised myself.
I wouldn't worry too much. Rowan sends out interviews until February, and accepts lots of people off the WL. Last year I was hearing back from MD schools in October that I applied to in August. Its early and you're not rejected until you're rejected. They might look at your app again in a month or two and say "That guy with the 518 was a robot, maybe this kid won't be?"
There's no set time in hearing back. It depends on what your stats are like. Seems like people with high stats hear back sooner.Takes a lot longer then 2 weeks to hear back. I've been complete since early July and still haven't heard anything. Have patience
Yep, it is all a waiting game!There's no set time in hearing back. It depends on what your stats are like. Seems like people with high stats hear back sooner.
Thanks for sharing your experience, that was helpful. What did you wear to the interview? Formal, business casual, etc...So I had an interview today at Rowan and just wanted to share some thoughts and experience with you guys. Keep in mind that my experience may not reflect what you would experience in your interview. Just some information, that's all.
The introduction/orientation started around 8:10 and people got there like before 7:30. We just sat on the couch and chatting, people from admission team would take a picture of us and tried to calm the anxiety or nervousness. Today's group was about 20 people, we were divided into 4 groups, and there was one person interview each group. The interviewers may be basic science professor, MD, DO or professional staff. You would not know who your interview is until you go into the room. It is the one-on-one interview.
Try to relax during your interview, I think Rowan staffs were very friendly and did help me to calm my nerve. My interview was very conversational. We started with how my driving was, how my day has been so far (I was the last person) and then we got on the question. I heard other people's interviewer may be very on point that they made sure they asked enough question. My interviewer was not like that. So I was able to talk more about my experience. She asked me basic questions about the ECs and why I choose Rowan and some other "trick" question (not very hard), and then we did a tour around the campus. Then we called it a day.
I really like how Rowan did the interview, it made me really feel that they were trying to know more about me, not judging me on anything, and made me feel at ease so that I was able to share my story, not rehearsed it.
They said that I would hear the decision in 2 weeks so I will keep my finger crossed. Good luck guys!!!!

I agree 100%. I interviewed on Wednesday as well and fell in love with the school and the faculty. I was thoroughly impressed on how well "they've got it together". The interview was very much about getting to know me and not an interrogation session where they picked at my application. I interviewed at another school and had a very different experience, to the point where it seemed like they made me feel uncomfortable. Rowan has a genuinely fantastic set up, faculty, resources, student support and curricular program (both PBL and traditional available). This school jumped right up the list as one of my top choices.So I had an interview today at Rowan and just wanted to share some thoughts and experience with you guys.

Alright, I'm about to be an annoying double-poster. I am visiting family NJ at the very end of September. I'm interested in all of the NJ schools, but am seriously diggin' RowanSOM. It says online that you are able to call and schedule a campus visit with the medical school. I want to visit, and am wondering if this could potentially be beneficial and show that I am genuinely connected to NJ despite living all the way in Arizona! That being said, it is close to a 2 hour drive from my sister and I am only in NJ for about 4 days (2 of which are on the weekend with Sunday consisting of a baptism). Do you guys think it may be to my benefit to visit? I will happily do the 2 hour drive while in NJ if so but would love an opinion on this
Thanks for your response. My brother in laws friend is in a doctor back east and he more or less said it was a good idea too, just to show that I'm legitimately interested in the school and am prioritizing visiting the campus. I'll call them MondayYes.
I guess going off this point... I was unable to make any of the earlier open houses in May. Being offered an II, would visiting an open house be useful in preparation for the interview?
II today. Anyone else only see a 10/05 interview date available?
Stats: IS/cGPA 3.42/sGPA 3.43/505
Weird! I got one last week with 10/25 only.
Are they giving specific people certain dates? Or would any other recent II's care to chime in?

I got one this morning and the only date showing up for me was 10/5 (8am) too. Which program did you apply too? I applied PBL, so maybe they're scheduling specific interviews for specific dates?II today. Anyone else only see a 10/05 interview date available?

I would gladly switch with you if you want
II!!
Good point about the interview dates being sorted by PBL preference! They could have specific faculty involved with that track interviewing!
II!!
I've been complete since 7/14 and haven't heard anything. It seems like its normal for people to have to wait 2 months, but being neurotic, it is worrying me as I really like this school. Anyone else wait a while and have a positive result?
