2020-2021 Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine (RowanSOM)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I only had one person interview me, and it was very causal and conversational. Standard interview and it was open file.
Gotcha thank you!! Were there any trick q’s or anything? Anything caught u off guard?
 
For my interview, I was given a package of people who may be my interviewer, did you get this as well?
yes I did get the fact sheet. and it was a standard interview but again it is open file so questions were individualized at times
 
Anyone had any luck with a 495 MCAT 🙁 my third time taking it and while I increased by two points each time, my final score was 495.
 
Does anyone else's portal have green checks/"completed/submitted" for everything but nothing written for letters of recommendation? I am worried they did not receive it since it does not say completed but it still has a green check
my portal is like that too
 
Just finished my interview, I agree with the others, it was pretty chill. Standard, open file, questions were not bad at all. Do we know when will get our decision after interview concludes?

I didnt ask but i guess 3-4 weeks.
 
Anyone receive an II after August 5th? I was complete 8/11 and was hoping to have heard something :/

There was someone in previous years but he was a previous chiropractor and IS
 
are ppl sending post interview thank you emails? And if so is it to admissions? bc i cant find my interviwers email 😳
 
do you think they actually ready our personal statement/secondaries? I feel like after having read hundreds/thousands of them they probably just skim through them at best...

Hi there
I had my interview on 10/9/19 and sent a thank you email directly to my interviewer. I typed my interviewer's name on google, and it took me to Rowan SOM faculty website where I was able to find the email.
 
Anyone with a September 13 complete date hear anything yet? I’m an ORM, low MCAT (502) and above average GPA applicant. I’m also OOS with ties to NJ.
 
It looks like my application will not be fully complete until after Feb 17th when the MCAT is score is released. I am wondering if seats will be already filled by then but this year seems like things are moving significantly slower.
 
Anyone who received the Fee Waiver still have a red exclamation next to “fee paid status” in the portal? I got the complete email but the portal fee section still shows as incomplete????
Did this every change to complete for you?

I submitted my secondary in June and never heard anything back 😢 I was wondering maybe something has not been submitted/processed properly?

I submitted my secondary in June and never heard anything back 😢 I was wondering maybe something has not been submitted/processed properly? South Jersey resident with a 507 and 3.6. I recall someone saying Rowan's admission meets the 1st and 3rd Friday of the month. This is my #1 choice so this has truly been heartbreaking. 🙁

Has not changed for me either. I may just call them. I finished the secondary in June but they didn’t mark me complete till September?!? So I feel like I really need to stay on top of this one.
 
Hi all, do you guys know of any forums regarding housing at Rowan? I'm an incoming MBS student at the university in Stratford and can't find any forums to find potential roommates or housing!
 
Hi All! Sorry to intrude, I’m going to be a student at Rowan’s graduate school of biomedical sciences this upcoming spring semester. Does anyone know where I can find potential roommates? Or is anyone looking for housing come January? I can’t find a single forum to help me!

I would shoot an email to Amanda Powell. She'll get you in touch with other GSBS students looking for roommates. Welcome to RowanGSBS!
 
damn interviewed 10/9 no change in status yet.. im shaking in my boots the wait is killer. really like this school but may have butchered my interview.. lets see fingers crossed
 
I checked my portal because of your post and found out I got the A too!! I didn't get an email or a phone call yet so otherwise I wouldn't have known. Check your portals people!


Hey, were you or anyone able to pay the deposit? I keep getting an error - I have attached a picture of it.

What month are they interviewing up to now? Also to those who got in: what do you think, on your app, helped your chances the most?
