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).

agreed but this is how they are. they'll prob send out mass R wave at the very very end of the cycle..im talking july.

i havent gotten anyhting from them or Albany med so far

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

 

[TheMCATWorther112]

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.

 

[NoEyeEyeGuy]

has anybody gotten accepted to NJMS with a sub 126 MCAT in the sciences? just curious on if thats what held me back here.

 

[armaragon]

Anyone hear anything from the priority or regular alternate list? or perhaps from Dr. H himself?

 

[soshelpme123]

Just withdrew my acceptance - good luck to you all!

 

[ANz206]

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

loll I have a low threshold at this point--will continue to be neurotic this weekend!!

 

[ecuacor]

Has anyone received an A or call from Dr H in the recent past? How recently? Lol it seems like it’s been silence for so long for all of us, but obv some have gotten A’s and R’s sooooo

It’s probably people who aren’t on SDN.

 

[armaragon]

Dr. Heinrich where you at my dude?

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...

[armaragon]

I did not get that 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?

Oh I get what your saying now ! 😂 and I’m on priority alt list.

 

[armaragon]

That’s weird...I’m going to email dr H and ask about all this stuff so if/when he gets back to me, I’ll update you guys🙂

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.

 

[dancing_through]

BTW anyone here who did not get that upcoming alternate list review email?

When did you get this? What did it say?

 

[armaragon]

When did you get this? What did it say?

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).

Ok got it, thanks!

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.

 

[Acera]

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.

 

[deleted1075526]

I wonder if any international student has gotten accepted here this cycle?

 

[kjd201]

Anybody on priority alt talk to Dr H recently?

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.

 

[armaragon]

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.

 

[njapplicant]

Withdrew from the MD-PhD waitlist. Good luck everyone!

 

[ANz206]

Just got placed on priority alt list today 😢

 

[armaragon]

WTF is going on with NJMS this year lmao....

 

[deleted1041819]

Withdrew from priority WL this week because of traffic rules for my PTE school. Oh well. Good luck everyone, may you hear back before mid-June...

Probably not lol

 

[mayo12345]

Does anyone have a phone number for admissions?

 

[toastingpasta]

I've seen in threads from several, several years ago that NJMS had a humanism scholarship that was full tuition. Is this still the case? Does NJMS also have any other full tuition/ride scholarships? What are the profiles (GPA/MCAT) of students who get these?

 

[mk1423357]

Did any accepted students see in the technical standards that we aren't allowed to have iPads/tablets? Is this referring to a tablet as the main device? I use an iPad as my notebook so I was wondering if this was forbidden for some reason to use in class.

 

[ecuacor]

anyone aware of NJMS's commit to enroll date?

 

[tpjunkie]

Hey all - was bored waiting between cases today (I’m now a GI attending but NJMS class of ‘13) - probably cant add too much about curriculum etc given its been over a decade since I enrolled, but what I can say is if you’re on the waitlist and you want to go to NJMS - LET THEM KNOW! I got in off the waitlist and Dr Heinrich let me know that a good part of why I got in off the waitlist (and very early for waitlist movement) was that I had repeatedly made clear I was very interested in going to NJMS and continued to show interest throughout the cycle (my interview was late sept/early October). So yeah, I know what a lot of you are feeling right now but keep your chins up! Good luck to all (and to anyone calling it a “mid-tier” I can promise you’ll come out with clinical skills second to none)
