How OOS friendly is Rowan? My residency is Massachusetts but I do have some ties to NJ (lived there until I was 12).

If you look at past years Rowan favors in-state 80-85%. That does leave room for OOS applicants and having NJ ties can help. Good Luck

They’re a little behind. Spoke to admissions last week and they said secondaries should be sent out by beginning of July.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who hasn't gotten a secondary
 
Am I smoking something or did I just see someone say they got a secondary. Now it's gone lol
 
I was going to joke and say I did, but I felt like this community would get too sensitive over it so I deleted it hahaha
Yeah neurotic and jokes don't go together well. I would have appreciated it though lol
 
worth applying if I'm oos and no ties to NJ?
 
anyone else get a secondary application update that doesn't actually include a secondary
 
I have a strange suspicion that there's some IT problem there and they just used their newsletter service (as it came from ConstantContact with a footer containing "Try email marketing for free today!") to stop people from calling and asking 😀
 
What are the secondary prompts?
I don't think anybody got the 2° yet.

Speaking of which today I've got another email with "You will receive access to our secondary application very soon. " 😀
 
People that received the secondary, are you guys in state or out of state

Thank you very much! What's the character limit for them?

None of the essays have a word/character limit, right? How long should they be?
