Yes interviewed here last Tuesday! The interview day is lecture during the day then lunch then two interviewers both of which are faculty. Then after that the medical school tour and Q&A session with current medical students. Tips are to prepare for the unexpected one of my interviews was over webcam because the interviewer couldn’t make it but many of the questions were tailored around challenges, disagreements, obstacles and how you were able to overcome them and what you learned from them (besides the standard why medicine why do you want to be a doctor, etc.) Overall I enjoyed the day I like the school a lot!

Interviewed in October and was accepted via phone call earlier this week. Honestly I'm still shocked. I was incredibly impressed by the school, facilities, and administration. Would be happy to give some more information. IS LM 71
Congratulations! How was the interview day? Have any pointers for it?

Thank you! Interview day was great. Small group of us, handful of informative presentations, interviews, tour, few more presentations/Q&A. Nothing unexpected, and as for pointers, it really just comes down to the interviews. I had two very enjoyable conversations with my interviewers and really just tried to be genuine with my responses.

I heard that only some people get the video conference, so I guess I was just unlucky and got screened out haha

Congrats! I wonder in what order they review applications. I interviewed on 11/5.
Got the acceptance call today! Interviewed 11/19.
Its been about 9 weeks for me so I am probably going to be emailing sometime next week.
I saw some people who submitted after my complete date get the prelim review complete email so I dunno what to make of it ♀️

Does anyone know if Hackensack gives students iPads or tablets when they matriculate?
Any updates since emailing them? It’s been over 10 weeks for me as well.
I bit the bullet and emailed them this morning about the prelim review. Its been about 11 weeks for me.
Let us know the outcome! Around 10 weeks for me I think.
