I have been getting SO many spam calls the past couple of days I also thought it was a spam call and let it ring :/
 
Question: I am confused with the tuition for RWJ

Anyone know when the official emails will be sent out? Got the call on Friday, but eagerly waiting on that email!
 
oof, just got an email that I was placed in the "High Priority Alternate category". Interviewed early November.

I was also just notified that I was placed in the "High Priority Alternate" category. Anyone have thoughts about chances for those who wind up in this category?
 
Competitive Hold :(

What does this mean for me? Says I'll be placed on the high priority alternate category in late winter. Does that mean I'm screwed cause people are being added to the high priority list already?

From someone on the 2018-19 thread: "I think competitive hold automatically turns into the HPWL. I read on forums from the past two cycles that "competitive hold" still has a 50/50 shot of getting in but the regular waitlist doesn't get a lot of movement. Not entirely sure though."

Sorry, actually I was placed in "competitive hold" too. Not sure if anyone goes straight to HPWL.

Oh thank you so much for clarifying that! I'm really hoping people don't go straight to HPWL because that might be bad news haha

I also got the competitive hold email, and because it said everyone in the group will be placed on HPWL "after the admissions season is complete in late winter," I think that implies that they don't start the HPWL until interviews are over. Basically, I think competitive hold and HPWL are synonymous but they just haven't officially started the waitlist yet. Just my initial reaction though - could definitely be wrong!
 
is the order (from least) alternate list < competitive hold < high priority alternate list?

Not sure I understand the purpose of competitive hold. Last year they didn’t even have movement off the HPAL, so what does it mean for competitive hold to move to HPAL?

not sure, but 2018-2019 cycle seemed to have a good amount of movement from HPWL in may-june
 
Is there even a HPAL this year, or was everyone put on competitive hold? Do you think we can ask them about this?

I‘m not sure what changed last year but there was almost no movement. No way to really know if COVID played a role. Maybe that is why their language is noncommittal this year in terms of HPAL getting a spot.

same here! Tried to call a couple of times and no pick up...
 
If I get a new letter of Rec from work, should I send that directly to Dean Copeland or submit it through my HPO office & AAMCAS?

I picked up the initial acceptance phone call and still haven’t gotten the official letter so we’re on the same boat!

got the acceptance voicemail on Saturday and had no idea until an hour ago when I saw an acceptance email ahhh I can't believe I did that lol
 
Just got the acceptance email!
 
PSA to check your applicant portal - I didn't get an acceptance email, but I can see the admissions decision tab with my official acceptance letter!! Also under my communication status it says that an email sent earlier today, but I don't see it in my inbox/junk/spam.

I'm a current student (in-state) and I think I've paid about the same amount each year (with the expected minor adjustments per year). Feel free to DM me if you have questions!

yeah I'm 99% sure they do it in two batches!! guessing they haven't sent out any IIs yet for the remainder of the cycle since they only just released decisions for the first batch!
