Yeah, I was told they review applicants the 1st and 3rd Friday of each month so I would call the following Monday or Tuesday to ask about the status of my application

Does anyone have the match list for 2019?

 

[qwerta]

Is an ipad required? is there a req list for ipad/stethoscope etc anywhere?

Ipad isnt reqd and all the medical tools is provided to us since its part of our term bill

 

[qwerta]

Is there an accepted students page that lists everything we need to buy/order, dress code, books etc?
Not really sure what I'm supposed to do before school starts, and trying to get an idea. I haven't received any emails after the accepted students day email (which i wasn't able to attend) If anyone here went to that, can you share more information (you can also message me).

Thanks

They said not to buy any books. Itll be smart to have a few dress shirts plus tie if you’re a guy and some dresses if you are a woman when you need to wear the white coat.
Other than maybe get some scrubs for anatomy lab.
They also provide laptop (lenovo) .

Awesome, thanks! do they have specifics of where we order our white coat, or stethoscopes?

Stethoscope will be provided as part of a medical kit. Cost is included as part of tuition. White Coat will be presented to you at the White Coat ceremony. Every year the NJ Assoc. of Osteopathic Physicians covers the cost for the white coats. Hope this helps.

Thats nice to hear- thanks!

Anyone know any details about the new curriculum? How is it different from the old one, and wills students be getting less or more study time (on their own)? I tried to learn as much as I could off of the website, lol but I think all it tells us are these descriptions of goals and an example of what our curriculum will look like.

 

[mmdx45]

Does anyone know if the high priority waitlist is ranked?

 

[Hawkeye397]

Does anyone know if the high priority waitlist is ranked?

I’m pretty sure its ranked

The previous curriculum was a classic "learn the normal" of all organ systems during first year (physio, anatomy, biochem, histology, microbiology). That was then followed by a "learn the abnormal" during second year (pathology + pharmacology + clinical medicine).

The new curriculum will be systems-based, where you learn all the normal and the abnormal of one system (ie: respiratory) and move onto the next (ie: cardio) from the beginning of first year to the end of second year. I doubt there will be any dramatic changes to the amount of independent study time

Hey Guys. I was placed on the high priority waitlist last week. Is this the same as the waitlist but a high ranking or an entirely different list?. Seems pretty confusing. Also has been pulled off of it recently?

 

[petitechouette]

Congrats to everyone who's been accepted! Does anyone know if they are done interviewing for this cycle?

 

[qwerta]

Any news on 2019 Match list?

 

[Camila1990]

yes, they are done interviewing for this cycle as of last week.

Hey all, I’m an out-of-state student. I was wondering if after my first year or so I can receive in-state tuition while I live in New Jersey

 

[jonsnowordoe]

what do you think the chances of getting off the high priority wait list are?

 

[qwerta]

Can someone post a list of apartments near school that they're looking into?
Trying to find a few places

I don't think you can get IS student tuition as an OOS student for any of the 4 years. I remember seeing someone post this.

 

[dell2be]

Hi! Did anyone apply to be part of the PBL track after accepted students day? If so, how soon did you hear back - if at all?

When I was looking I mainly went to the following:

The Vista
Echelon Glenn
Bishop-Stratford
The Landings at Pine Lake
Brookview Manor

There were some others posted in the fb group as well I believe.
