I received my first phase review complete email on 9/15 and absolute silence since then :/
Same silence after first phase
Did you have a physician letter of recommendation?
I’d give them a call if it doesn’t say what you are missing.
I feel the same but I have to remind myself to be positive and also that SDN is not the end-all-be-all of if a school has sent out IIs or As. Plenty of non-neurotic people don't use this website at all
Is this post-acceptance?
Looking at their post history, it seems that they just submitted last week.
I doubt they will accept an emailed or even uploaded transcript because it will be considered unofficial. Your best bet is to call them for assistance.
Well, I interviewed in September and haven’t heard back.
Interview on a Sunday?
Interview on a Sunday?!
yes lol...they called me on Thursday morning to schedule it, the only options were on Friday or Sunday
What...that is wild. I wonder if Sunday interviews are a recurrent thing at Hackensack? Hope it went well!
I emailed Hackensack a while back and they were really nice and responded quickly! You could definitely reach out and ask
How is the Human Dimension curriculum? Do you find the experience insightful? What kind of commitment is it on a weekly basis?
If you sent it Friday I wouldn't. It hasn't even been one full work day.
lol thanks I am just feeling crazy and heard of other people getting a response or something the same day. I get since it was friday though that it prob wasn't seen
I got a Thank you for the update! Best of Luck! email and nothing else 🙁
Not really insightful nor unique it's a lot of things that you already know about, you will find the curriculum in some form or another in every medical school. Time commitment varies, the class runs every other week for 2 hours of large group then 2 hours of small group for phase 1. Then in phase 2 it's reduced to a 2 hour meeting every 6-8 weeks. Outside of that, you have a few things. A community health project which can vary in time commitment depending on what community partner you are assigned to. You and a classmate are also paired with a community member and have to have a call with them every month or so for an hour.
I haven't heard anything and interviewed 6 weeks ago.
Thank you for the response! Can you comment on your experience with the curriculum? What do you like/dislike about it? Do you find the professors to be competent and exams to be fair?
It's a lot of info sessions with various departments of the school, kind of a long one. Dress formal.
I had a question about the admissions day. Do you remember what the HMSOM admissions day was like when you attended it?
I'm not the person you asked but the Virtual Admissions Day this year is just a combination of presentations from different departments. Financial Aid, Student Wellness, etc. and ends with Q&A with current students. Everyone dresses formally with cameras on btw.
It's a fasted paced curriculum without breaks. Lots of info and little time. I can tell you for certain there are not enough breaks and sometimes you just need to fall behind and take one on your own. The teaching is honestly all over the place and depends on who is teaching. Sometimes good sometimes bad. Every course with exception of anatomy is very manageable. Lots of active learning, small group stuff, TBL all jammed in the weeks as well. Are the professors competent? For the most part, I would say, though there are some that should not be teaching. The exams are from in-house lectures and definitely are fair.
Also, does anyone have the address for the building we should go to? all is given is the I.H.S campus
I interviewed about 3-4 weeks ago and haven't heard anything since then 🙂
I went a couple of weeks ago, some people were in suits, one was in a hoody. I wore a button down with v-neck over it. It's a pretty casual tour with plenty of space to ask questions. I think if you do business casual that's your best bet!
did you receive a first phase complete email? If so, I've also been in the same boat for weeks now 🙁
I haven't received a first phase complete email 🙁
