This was in the prelim email I got, "We have completed the review of your application and you meet our admissions requirements. Your file is now being holistically reviewed to determine if you will be selected for an interview. You will remain in this status until you are selected for an interview or the admissions cycle closes. Feel free to reach out to our office via email or by phone if you have any questions or concerns."

I just called them and the lady who answered said it can be any bio w/ lab 🙂

Did they specify if they wanted any bio w/lab (combined into one 4 credit class)? Or is a combination of any bio + gen bio lab (separate classes, but total 4 credits) possible?
 
Hi! Is the Virtual Admissions day the same as the interview day?
 
I just received an email stating that my application was being advanced to an interview status, and I was invited to attend their virtual admissions day. To those who received an Interview Invite, did you have to complete the virtual admissions day to have the option to schedule your interview?

LORs submitted 7/11
Secondary received 8/1
Secondary submitted 8/24
Status: LOR & Prereqs are still to be reviewed by the office and my app is "incomplete."

I didn't realize how strict they are with the healthcare professional LOR 😱. My healthcare professional LOR is from a programs coordinator that runs vaccine clinics and clinical volunteering at a local clinic.... she's not a "medical" professional but she does work in healthcare.... do ya'll think that will be enough for the LOR requirement ? Or should I contact admissions about this.

Update on this: just got put on hold because they didn't end up counting this letter for the healthcare professional letter 🙁 reaching out to a physician I shadowed to see if they would be willing to write me a letter

I am so confused. Is the interview day at the school or virtual? Because the portal shows a schedule at the school, but I just got an email from them with a Zoom link to the interview.

Where exactly do you see the schedule?

Just letting you know I got the prelim review email today!

had my interview earlier and it was the most informal interview experience of my life! got the usual qs about my application but also a lot of casual conversation too, overall a stress-free experience!
Click to expand...

I can echo the same sentiment. I had my interview on Friday and it was a casual, relaxed experience.
 
um just got called asking to schedule a second interview this week, has anyone else had this?? has me a bit nervous…

II Invite today. Initial review/complete email 8/12. I responded to the email right away confirming that I would be attending admissions day but haven’t heard back about available interview days/times yet. How long does this usually take?
Click to expand...
Same, and I got a glitched email saying my interview was confirmed but missing the date/time.
 
so i confirmed the virtual admissions day but haven’t gotten info on scheduling the 30 min interview. how long does it usually take to hear back?

I heard back after an hour or so. It could take longer, I wouldn't follow up unless its been more than 2 business days.
 
lovelyjimi said:
when I asked the lady who called me she was pretty vague and said that sometimes they just want more info from us, but also I didn’t see anyone from last year’s thread having two so idk if its a new thing?
Click to expand...
Oh okay. I was curious if I should be expecting a phone call at some point for a second interview from Hackensack. Thank you for clarifying, and best of luck!

Is anyone planning to tour the school?

So I talked to the admissions person just now over the phone to set up my 1 on 1 30 min interview and she told me that the committee meets every Wednesday to discuss interviewed applicants. From there they will decide whether to interview you a second time or acceptance.
Click to expand...
That is good to know. I interviewed last Friday, so I should know better whether I will have to interview a second time soon. Thank you for the information.
 
posting a little late but submitted 9/8 and was marked complete 9/15

hm thats really interesting cause I interviewed Sunday and they called me Monday to set up the second one, not sure what that means for me but good info to know!
 
internally_brilliant said:
the first email i sent was just confirming it on the portal so i emailed admissions asking when to schedule and she called me back
Click to expand...
Same, I never emailed back to ask about scheduling though and they just called me to schedule! So for anyone else in the same position you can just wait it out.
