this is definitely a stupid question but is there a time by which we have to let them know if we are withdrawing our acceptance today?

The movement from the priority alternate list from previous years is not looking so hot...anyone have any insight?
 
This is my second year on the waitlist. Movement isn't the best sadly.
 
Quick question: this was the only school that never gave me a decision lol soooo I'm wondering if this is a soft R or if I should look deeper into it? I did not receive an I nor did I get a pre-I R. As every other applicant, I spent so much time preparing my application, taking mcat, doing CASPER, paid for the applications, etc just for them to ignore me.I find this extremely disrespectful and unprofessional because I didn't even get any communications from them (except for their Holiday concert).

99% sure, it will be a soft-R or a extremely delayed R. NJMS wasn't even able to get back to interviewed students in a timely fashion, highly doubt their even thinking of those who didn't interview. Very unprofessional but they don't need us, we need them. I'm also waiting for like 5 schools to get back to me.

Lol if it makes you feel better I interviewed 1/5 and still nothing!!!! Hanging on by a thread rn
 
Wow... all I have to say is NJMS really needs to work on getting back to applicants in a timely and fair manner. Not a great look. I'm sorry to hear about those major delays.

So I ended up going through previous years' threads and someone mentioned that the admissions committee meets on Thursdays usually so maybe there will be some news this weekend? Again this info is like 2 years old and I literally have no basis for it except that someone on SDN said it so take that as you will lol

The admissions website for NJMS updated a few weeks ago to say that candidates will be accepted off of the alternate list starting in Mid-June. I'm thinking that they're going to get back to all of the late-spring interviewees who haven't heard back yet before they start to pull off of the waitlist. Sounds like it's going to be a while...

Could you post a screenshot of that here? I can’t find it.
 
BTW anyone here who did not get that upcoming alternate list review email?

No I see that, just offering my anecdote...I find it hard to believe that they are taking this long to take a look at the few applicants they interviewed after me...

Are you regular or priority alt list?

I am speculating but I think this is updated for the upcoming cycle. When you look at important dates, they have 2021 on it already and also mention June, whereas all our recent email communications say they start reviewing alt applicants in May.

When did you get this? What did it say?
Click to expand...
April 23, and it was just basically saying that they’re going to begin review of high priority alt list and would like to hear updates or interest in njms (and to send an email to them).

Hi guys, I'm probably reapplying to NJMS. Was wondering if anyone emailed the dean to talk about individual applications? I heard that he frequently meets with applicants to tell them what he thinks, do you just email him?

You can email the dean directly for feedback, that's what my friend did last year. Along that line, is anyone planning to apply ED to NJMS this cycle? I know you're supposed to ask the dean before applying but I'm wondering if it's too early.
 
Can anyone who can answer some questions about NJMS pm me? I'm sure its been answered before but I kind of have my schools mixed up and wanted to confirm some basic things about mandatory/recorded lectures, nbme style exams, p/f or ranking, safety of the area, etc.
 
I wonder if any international student has gotten accepted here this cycle?

I emailed the admissions, not Dr. H directly, on a Monday asking about a timeline of decisions for priority alt and *crickets*

From creeping the past years it looks like whatever movement we do see will be either late May (20s) or late June :(. Trying not to give up hope would really love to go to Rutgers NJMS.

I noticed that too and the movement seemed very small.
 
I've talked to him a couple weeks ago and he said it's going to be difficult to to process what seats will be available until around mid-June.

I'm assuming that is because NJMS likes to wait until 90% of waitlist movement is over to start pulling from their priority/alt lists.
