I contacted them recently, and they said they will be pulling people off the waitlist till July 11

Thanks so much for your reply, did they distinguish between HPWL and alternate at all?

No problem! They just said waitlist, but I know they previously mentioned that they do try to go through the HPWL and then alternate, except a few times where they pull from the alternate first

Did anyone receive acceptance calls from Rowan today?

 

[glitternails]

When my phone rings, my heart sings.
But it turns out to be spam, and all I think is damn.

~hope you guys like this song I made ~🥲

Haha same! It's also hard to not look at your phone thinking you missed a call 😅

 

[Doggiedoc123]

Update: I asked Rowan if they are almost through the HPWL and they said they aren't yet and they will continue to pull people till July 11th or sometime till that week.

Any idea how big is the HPWL?

 

[Doggiedoc123]

Oh I didn't ask, but I have no idea
maybe that could be another excuse for calling the Admission office again lol

 

[glitternails]

Any idea how big is the HPWL?

I have tried to ask them this but they always say they can’t share that information. BUT , I remember reading in a previous years thread that it is 100 people for just the HPWL. If anyone does find out, or finds out how much they have left on the HPWL please let your homie on the alt list know 🥲

 

[SOMs23]

Does anyone know how the guarantee with the HPWL works? Like if they call us this late into the cycle, are we allowed to defer for the next year or would we have to reapply?

You wouldn’t have to reapply but I think you might have to sign an affidavit.
I’m not sure though and it’s probably best to just call admissions. I know they said that they could accept people until July 11th.

Thank you so much, and I got a call from the assistant dean of admissions!!

Thank you. Interviewed on Feb 15th. HPWL on Mar 16th.

 

[qweadqwerqwe123]

Does anyone know if its possible to withdraw after orientation starts?

 

[Doggiedoc123]

Does anyone know if its possible to withdraw after orientation starts?

I believe it is possible because Admission office said they will continue to pull people off the waitlist even during orientation, so I guess

 

[qweadqwerqwe123]

I heard people have done it at RowanSOM previously and at other schools, even during first week or two after classes started because they were accepted at their first choice programs elsewhere/close to home. Wondering how it works with refunds in this case, is there a 100% refund up until any particular date?

I think they said 14 days after payments due you can still get 100% refund.

 

[glitternails]

Is anyone able to call I keep getting to the voicemail

 

[Doggiedoc123]

I called today and it went through. Maybe they were away from the desk when you called. Try calling in the morning, around 10am they usually pick up 😊

 

[Doggiedoc123]

Got off the waitlist today!! Don’t give up hope! 😊

 

[myouss757]

Does anyone know what it means if someone from the admissions staff reaches out to you to complete the secondary application within a day? My brother applied for the 2022-23 cycle recently and someone from the RowanSOM admissions staff contacted him and sent a link to the secondary application, asking him to complete it within a day. I got into a med school this cycle and usually just got general secondary app invites but none ever asked to complete it almost immediately, so we're a bit confused.

Hey, not exactly sure what it means but it could just mean they want him sending it right away because of the increased number of applicants they are seeing this year. However, you can always call and ask them and they would help you with that

 

[SOMs23]

Would this Friday be the last day they would call people up from the waitlists or would there be a possibility (albeit a small one) that there would be call ups throughout next week

They did say they pull out people till next week

 

[Vera2019]

Just got the call today and I was pulled off the alternate list.

Congrats!!! So this means that Rowan has no preference between the two waitlists then?

Not sure. They just told me a seat for PBL opened up, but I know they have to meet certain criteria being a public school. So me being in-state and other stuff might have played a role.

 

[glitternails]

I got off the alternate list yesterday as well

 

[buckchemistry]

Anyone on the WL get an R yet?

 

[SOMs23]

Anyone on the WL get an R yet?

From what I have read on previous years forums, Rowan doesn't really reject people from the waitlist outright... but maybe its different this year, who knows!?

 

[SOMs23]

I'm curious... like this post if you are on the HPWL and have not heard back yet

 

[Mj1234]

Just curious when the last interviews were for last round of applications if anyone is still a part of this thread?? Haven't heard back yet and hoping for a miracle

 

[juliealbright]

I just graduated from their Master’s and am applying this cycle. If you want to pm me you can!

did that lead to acceptance to the school and if so did you complete one or two years and did you have a strong mcat
thanks
