2019-2020 Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine (RowanSOM)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Anyone accepted here OOS? I’d like to get an idea of stats for OOS people thanks!
 
Interviewed on 8/6 still waiting to hear back too. I Interviewed with Dr.B nice guy, very to the point, very into service (he runs a trip with 3rd/4th years to jamaica to do primary care). Interview questions were typical why DO, why Rowan, everyone has seemed to get the why should I pick you over everyone else question. The program seemed great and all the students were very nice walking around would love to go here hoping to hear back soon. Also, this may not be true but I heard interviewers meet with the admissions board every other Friday to discuss candidates which would explain people hearing back last Friday.
 
I was complete 8/6. Called the other day to get a status. The admissions staff member pulled my stuff up and said “oh looks great, I’m sure you’ll get an interview. You’ll probably hear from us in a couple months to set something up.”

So get ready for a loooooong wait guys

What are your stats, if you don't mind me asking?

Damn I was complete the same time. Wonder if I should call too now.
 
does rowan look at non trads favorably or more focused on undergrad gpa? like if i had a lower undergrad gpa but a 4.0 postbac&grad gpa, 508 mcat?
 
IS, 509, 3.8, ED, II on 08/06
Heard nothing yet. Should I be worried?

Exact same stats and interview date! I still haven't heard anything either but I haven't seen anyone hear anything back from that interview date. I'm not worried...yet lol. Who did you interview with?

Save yourself from worrying. I’m In the same position and called admissions. They review interviewed applicants in no particular order and meet on the first and third Friday of every month. Once they make a decision regardless of its an a,wl or R, you’ll know in 1-2 days. Next time they meet to review interviewed applicants is September 6th so don’t stress until then!
 
Also did everybody who was accepted get an email confirming their acceptance?
I called the admissions office, and I was told that they are still working on a few final details before sending the emails out. Also, the portal says we have to pay the deposit fee within 14 days, but I was getting an error when I was trying to pay. They informed me that we have until Nov 14th to pay and we don't have to take any action until we receive the package in the mail 🙂
 
I just submitted my secondary, do you guys think I'm late?
 
For the accepted students, what did you get in the mail from the school? I received a banner and the acceptance letter, which tells me to "read the attached document." The problem is, there is no attached document. There is a link for the student handbook, and that's it. Did this happen to anyone else?

Yea I didn’t get an email or anything besides the packet. I guess we just wait for the email packet

What did you get with the packet if you don't mind sharing? I only received the letter (one page) without any other documents. I don't know if they forgot to place it in the envelope, or if an acceptance packet means a letter and a banner lol

I got the same thing and a flag
 
Sorry if this has been asked already, but does anyone know if Rowan is receptive to letters of intent?
