It basically says it already on the email, but just to confirm, everyone who got the VITA invite is also getting a second, regular interview with Hackensack right?

It's not like they're screening with VITA

That was my understanding, but the wording confused me a bit too. I'm sure tomorrow we will get all of these answers! Is it ok if I do not complete my VITA until Wednesday?

That's a good question, I completed mine yesterday just in case, but tbh i'm not sure
 
Does anyone know their stance on application updates? I tried emailing them before and they never responded. I can't call since they are out of the office due to COVID-19 🙁
 
Has anyone who attended the information session had their 1-on-1 interview scheduled/completed? Whenever someone does complete the 1-on-1, would you share how it went (conversational or formal, trick questions, ethical questions, length, etc)?
 
Hi everyone! I received an invite to complete VITA from Hackensack this morning but no invitation for a regular interview or call/email for any meetings. Does anyone know if this means an interview offer is on its way? I just don't want to get my hopes up unnecessarily

You don’t get a VITA invite unless you’re being invited to interview. So you’ll here from them soon

Same! Congrats friend! I received the VITA email around 4am lol. Complete date was 9/8.
 
Have any of you who attended Virtual Admissions Day this Tuesday received a phone call/email for scheduling the regular interview?
I completed my VITA on Sunday and still didn't hear back

I haven't received anything to schedule yet either.

I have not .. at the end the admissions woman specifically said to call or email Friday if we hadn’t received anything about the 1-on-1 by Thursday night ... is that your plan? Or just wait it out?
 
For those who attended the virtual admissions day... does anyone know how Hackensack uses VITA? I know they're not using it to pre-screen since according to others one here it means you will also get a person interview as well (even though I haven't gotten an e-mail about that) but are they using it to weigh their final decision or requiring just because? I haven't done any interview prep at all or had a 1 on 1 one yet either so hopefully I'll get it done Saturday afternoon but I'm working all day tomorrow which also doesn't give me significant time to practice
 
was complete 9/8 and silence for me...does it mean im toast.

Don’t think that way! I’m sure you will hear from many other schools that I won’t hear from. I thought this process was rolling but I have seen that a lot of schools do not review based on the order they receive the application.
 
Quick question for you all. I still have yet to receive my physician lor to be complete, is it still worth applying here?

What do you mean by “it basically says it in the email?”
In the email I got from them requesting VITA, it didn’t say anything about interview invite. It just said that “at this stage we would like you to complete the VITA”.

I’m also wondering if this is another screening or if it means we def get an II.
 
can you elaborate on what that is? is that for pre interviw?
So I got the initial call last week, attended the info session this past Tuesday, completed my VITA Wednesday, and now have a 1-on-1 interview with a faculty member this upcoming Sunday! From my understanding, they all go together. Meaning that if you got a VITA invite, you will be attending an information session and need to complete a 1-on-1!!

Interview on Sunday? Damn, they're working hard.

Thank you! appreciate the detailed answer!
 
Thank you good to know I’m gonna do it tomorrow too! Have you started prepping yet? This is my first VITA and I’m super nervous !!
keep in mind, its your first and only VITA for this cycle at least. Every school uses the same one VITA attempt.
 
So I was invited to the virtual admissions day, can someone who has attended it give some more information about it please. Is this like a 1-on-1 thing or were there a lot of students? Do i have to have my camera on and wear a suit? Or can i just listen to their presentation from anywhere? Thanks

Wear your suit and give it your full attention just as if you were there in person.
 
So I submitted my application and emailed them asking what to do with regards to uploading the photo. Waiting on a response. Will update once I have one.
What email did you use? I emailed the assistant dean of admissions listed on their website with some basic questions, but the email bounced back.
 
The general admissions email. I will have to dig through my email in the morning and try to find it for you. I may have deleted it.

I emailed them Thursday Night and she called me Friday morning to schedule an interview time

I would appreciate that. There's not even a number to call on their website. I tried general Seton Hall admissions and they didn't have a number for the med school either.
 
Can anyone who has completed the 1 on 1 interview share if it is open or closed file? Thank you.
 
anybody else who was complete around the same time as those who've already had interviews buggin out....cause ya boy is
