2018-2019 Rutgers New Jersey Medical School

Getting into Med School is Hard? Not with BeMo.
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Congrats to those who have been accepted! Saw a few acceptances this past week. (PS: these are ED applicants. RD people don't get anxious lol)
Members don't see this ad.
 
Does anyone know approx what days they call with acceptances? Is it always on a weekend?

It's not always on a weekend! Usually Sunday nights is when Dr. Heinrich has the time to call people (it's when I got my call) but I know of a few people who got calls at other times including on holidays! He always likes to call some people on Christmas Eve/Day.

Is it possible to get a call the weekend right after your interview? I had mine Tuesday and I’m holding on to my phone for dear life lmao

Probably not since the admissions committee meets every Thursday. I would imagine the turn around time is quicker for ED applicants but for RD dont' expect a response until about 4-6 weeks after your interview.
 
Has anyone gotten secondaries for the regular admissions?
 
Based on last year's thread, they will most likely be sent out sometime next week.

"Provide a very short reflection of what you have learned about your preferred strategies for pursuing knowledge in areas of interest to yourself."
How did you guys respond to this prompt? what do they mean by preferred strategies?

are the RD secondaries typically the same as early decision? Just wanted to know if pre-writing is worth it

I guess it'd be kind of hard to verify who were admitted without formal letters so facebook will probably come after August when the class of 2022 has started.

On a similar note, I got the call from Dean Heinrich few days ago, but was wondering if any ED admits got any letter/emails regarding their acceptance.

I believe Dean Heinrich mentioned that it would be ~2 weeks before the emails came out since the current class needs to fully matriculate.
 
Is it safe to assume that the ED secondary questions will be the same for non-ED applicants??
 
Got a secondary! Non-ED applicant here

For the question "Please share your thoughts on Integrity" are you guys including a personal example/story? Or do you think just talking about what integrity means to you is fine?

I started with a sentence or two intro on what integrity means to me and why its important to medicine. The rest of my essay backs up what I said through a personal example

I defined what integrity is and why it's important, then gave a brief example of a situation that required some utilization of my integrity.

For this question: NJMS is committed to fostering a collaborative and cohesive environment. With this in mind, how will you contribute to our medical school community?

Can we use our diversity statement here? I'm kind of confused since there's a diversity section above the essay section.

Does any body know if there is any sort of screening process before NJMS secondary’s are sent? I am not verified yet (I submitted on 7/2) and I got one! Just curious
 
Secondary submitted yday. Last year I heard it was only a couple of days before they sent out II's so crossing my fingers
