Hypothetically, what would happen if one holds multiple acceptances after the deadline?
After the deadline, each applicant should be holding only one acceptance. Schools are free after that date to deal as they see fit with applicants who are holding multiple acceptances without adequate explanation (such as a delay in receiving financial aid information). So my suggestion is to call each school and ask what will happen. If you don't, then be prepared for anything.
Yup. It forces those who have multiple acceptances to choose only one so that med schools have a better idea of how many students they will have. It also gives other students (who may not have received an acceptance) a chance.
I was accepted and interviewed on the 12th
The first two dates had 12 each. The rest have 16 and they interview every Tuesday and Thursday.
That's pretty much how every school is unfortunately haha
Your best bet is to call the school. I’d hate for you to get incorrect advice.
Tried calling and got transferred a lot between different offices and did not get a conclusive response.
Theres a facebook group called "Hackensack SOM at SHU Housing"
Haha me neither, feeling paranoid because there's no hard evidence!!
Congrats! I told you!
How do you have access to the interview schedule lol
Where do you see the interview schedule? My II email only shows my date.
For the first week of applicants(regardless of whether they interviewed on Tuesday or Thursday) received acceptance calls the following week on Friday
You had a what now?
I was just going off of the information I had, it’s a new school so we’re all learning as we go 🙂 congrats to your friend tho!
*3.76, my bad haha
I'm from Kansas!
Open except for GPA/MCAT. You could apply for one of the hospital network’s residencies if you do three years, if you wanted a different residency you would do four years and apply like normal. And yes
Are the three-year Hackensack Meridian residencies constrained by specialty selection at all? IK that they don't have a lot of things to begin with, but what about the more competitive programs that they do have (Derm, Gen surg etc.); any indication that these wouldn't be available to the med school's early grads (thus making the option basically a 3-year PCP/IM track that a lot of other schools have)?
It seems as if its for specialties offered by Hackensack.
Interesting, I was going off of this list of HMH programs that someone posted a while back: HMH Residencies - Seton Hall University
I believe the derm program they have is DO only right now (only see DO residents) so Im assuming the list on the school page is for all MD available fields. Not 100% sure but im sure you can ask at the interview.
That makes sense, thanks. And yeah, really as long as the 3-year isn't boxed into FM/IM etc that'd be fine by me.
They said there will be programs they don’t have (but they’re looking at adding more and also more spots) and if they don’t have it you can do the fourth year and apply elsewhere
