There's less than 300 interviews. There's only about 16 interview days. 15 per day.

Closer to 225-240

248 to be exact (first two interview days had 12 each).

Hey people who got the acceptance letter, when you replied, did you just get a "Welcome to the School of Medicine" email in return? I asked a couple questions in my response regarding financial aid, and all that was in the reply was "Hi Squeaks, Welcome to the School of Medicine"

I'm dying over here about financial aid, good thing this is my only acceptance at the moment, lol.

Edit: And I have a Dr's appt in a couple days to get the physical out of the way and take care of any vaccinations needed. Anyone know what all vaccines are required for this school?

Has anyone been accepted here that is giving up an acceptance at another school? Just out of curiosity

Schools do have some different requirements but I would bet you are safe with following the guidelines here

248 interviews for 55 spots....not bad odds
Especially considering some accepted students will get off the waitlist for more prestigious schools and attend.

How long did it take to get the official acceptance email after the call? I got the call that I was accepted Friday morning and still haven't received the email. Asking because I was just given a deadline of tomorrow to accept my apartment at the other med school I was planning to attend. I'd like to have an official acceptance here before declining the apartment at the other school.

Last week someone was admitted on Wednesday, hopefully that goes into this week as well...
 
Congratulations to all who’ve been accepted. This was my first time applying and not so lucky yet, but full force ahead for the new cycle. Anyways, in general, do people consider Emergency Medicine residency to be competitive or so not so much ? Thanks for the feedback
 
Accepted! :).
Applied 4/2, interviewed 4/10, and accepted on 4/20.
NY resident, LizzyM 72.5. MCAT 514.
I was very impressed with the school on my interview day and would choose Hackensack over a lot of mediocre well-established MD schools.

Can anyone shed light on how the merit scholarship process will work? All I can find on their scholarships page is that it says "You must apply in order to receive a scholarship. We will list the instructions to apply on this website on or around April 25th", but there are no listed instructions that I can find? I am curious if scholarship information will be made available prior to having to commit to Seton Hall and give up another acceptance.
 
Hey fellow SDNers, I'm looking to submit some new LOR's here and was wondering if anyone knew where they should be sent? I tried calling and emailing with no response so figured someone may have already had success in doing so. Thanks so much! Best of luck to everyone!

I would have letter writers upload any new LORs to AMCAS. The "Application Update" section on the admissions website doesn't seem like the best place to do it, and aside from directly emailing the admissions office, that appears to be the only way to send something to them.

From what I remember, we are required to be present at the class almost every day of the week for the group/team based case studies as well as labs and clinical skills. I think I saw the entire Wednesday dedicated to the Human Dimension following families program but I am not entirely positive about that. Also, several evenings were just filled in with self-study time, so you can probably leave around lunch on most days.
I have no reference for this as I do not have the interview folder with me right now nor am I sure if the schematic of the weekly schedule was even provided.

Yeah, they said it would vary depending on the day and topic, you might be done between 12-3 during the week. A lot of the Human Dimension doesn’t need to be completed on campus. It might involve making calls to your families or meeting up with them off campus.
 
AHHHHH! Just got an II from here! They have interview dates open from 5/8-5/24. LizzyM 71ish OOS (not even in the region). Submitted I think day 3 and sent an update 10 days later

I didn't get a phone call just an email. Is there anything else I should be doing?

EDIT- They sent me a follow up email. Apparently they had called me a few weeks ago but my voicemail wasn't set up so set your voicemails people!!

For the first two interview groups, calls were made on Friday of the week following the interview.
