The Facebook group number goes up every couple of days, but I’m not sure if that’s from them accepting people and then just not posting here or from people who were accepted a while ago and are gradually finding the FB group

To those who have interviewed: what was the interview like? And do you have any tips/advice?

 

[snapster]

Does Rutgers provide merit based scholarship? If yes, when do those get announced?

 

[Missdoc24]

I was also wondering if anyone heard back about financial aid and housing

It was laid back, one on one with a doctor. Just make sure you have good grasp on why you want to pursue this path.

I interviewed mid november. Should i send an update letter?

I interviewed mid October and still waiting for an answer, someone who interviewed mid September just got an answer like a week or two ago. I think they’re backed up.

I interviewed mid October and got a decision almost a month ago. The order has no rhyme or reason to it

 

[DrPlatypus]

II received earlier last week (OOS student with LM 72 complete early august) and interviewed this week - interview was fantastic, laid back, and informative. dean's session was also informative and the school really cares about its students.

Recent priority alternate decision, interviewed in September.

[pupsnburritos]

Did you send any letters or voicemails while waiting, or just let time run it’s course?

I just let time run it's course

Did anyone else at this school get interviewed by a resident? Is that common at MD schools these days?

I was interviewed by a fifth year general surgery resident, is that not normal ??

Maybe it is these days, at my other interviews I interviewed faculty. My friends father, who is a vascular surgeon, was shocked when I said I was interviewed by a resident. He has not been on the academic side of things in a while, however.

 

[justmedschooltingz]

priority alternate list rn, interviewed late nov. pretty devastated, really thought things went well. anyone know how likely it is to get an A from this?

 

[sweatysweetpotato79]

To those who have interviewed, where did you send your thank you letters to? Directly to your interviewer, to the portal or to the adcom email?

I sent mine directly to my interviewer.

Have any accepted students received information on the Health and Immunization requirements?

I haven’t yet

Same here. Interviewed on Oct. 19th (had a GREAT interview), but nothing yet.

Interviewed on your date, waitlisted more than a month ago. Even though you're experiencing a long silence, it's better than getting a WL already; at least you have a chance of getting an A

I interviewed extremely early on and had a very long wait before being put on high priority waitlist. My point is that a long wait =/= reject.

 

[MotorLover]

I think long wait just means that they're unable to make a decision and your app keeps getting pushed to future adcom meetings. So, it's either an A or a WL (though WL more likely). Use this time to send an update/LOI maybe

 

[frosty42]

I’ve posted this in the thread before but l interviewed 9/30 and haven’t heard a thing. Is it worth sending an email to admissions asking if they have any updates or is that a waste of time/an annoyance to them? I’ve been waiting it out for 4 months now. I’d rather not send an update letter bc I don’t have any substantial updates.

 

[IncomingMD]

Yeah. I am not sure what to make it off this silence. NJMS is a true contender on my plans.

 

[starsandsun]

Does WL movement usually only happen after May or are applicants accepted at any time throughout the cycle?

 

[Rocky1976$]

did anyone else get the email about the Rutgers Biomedical Science Masters Program Open House, is this associated with acceptance chances into NJMS this cycle

 

[KnightDoc]

did anyone else get the email about the Rutgers Biomedical Science Masters Program Open House, is this associated with acceptance chances into NJMS this cycle

One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. It is common at a whole bunch of schools. They know you applied (they are either getting your info from AMCAS or directly from NJMS), and they know the odds of anyone getting into any med school are low.

It's marketing in case you don't get in, since premeds who don't get accepted anywhere are prime candidates for these programs. Nothing more, nothing less. Don't read into it. I get them all the time from a bunch of schools.

I doubt any applicant here knows the real answer to your question. If it helps, I didn't get this email.

 

[MorningDoc11]

Has anyone who interviewed in early december heard anything? Call or email?

 

[MorningDoc11]

I got the regular alternate decision email today. Best of luck to everyone

🙁 When did you interview?

 

[MorningDoc11]

I interviewed Dec 8th. Felt like the interview went well. The interviewer was talking for most of it.

I felt the same thing about mine but got the regular list. There is no way to figure out what went wrong or why they had a bad impression. Just a tough place to be but use it to see how you can improve on ur other interviews!!

 

[DogeCoinToDaMoon]

Insert delirious Mr. Krabs* Give it up for week 14! (post I- no response)

+1 early December interview, appeared to be a very successful interview but ended up receiving regular alternate list today.
