Per faculty/current students, the systems courses will be H/HP/P/F with no ranking (no quintiles on Dean's letter) for the class of 2027. These grades will be used to help determine AOA status (top 25% of the class eligible for nomination). The first two blocks (that make up your M1 fall "semester") are P/F.

At the accepted students day the current students said that admin are receptive to feedback, but the downside of this is that there may be mid-year changes to the schedule/grading scheme if the students really want something changed. In other words, what I have written above is tentative.

Are systems courses just first year or second year classes too?

Looking at previous threads there’s some but not as much as other schools because njms fills a lot of their class with ED and bs/md people who only have one A and can’t drop their A.
 
at what point is it acceptable to email the Dean again when I might hear bc it’s been a month and I need to renew a lease or move lol

I’m thinking about shooting him a follow up email, feel like that’s fair since it’s been a month since he said I’d hear over the weekend

does anyone know if a letter of intent would hold any weight?
 
Does anyone know if they told us when we would hear about the scholarships that we had applied to?

I haven’t gotten a response from the Dean and I didn’t get the apparent WL wave that just went out. This school is infuriating lol

I just got an email from njmsapplicant apologizing for the significant delay in decisions, telling me I’m a strong candidate, and asking me to basically send an update letter/LOI 🙃

does anyone have info on dedicated time for step? when i looked at the academic calendar it didn't seem like there was any but i'm really hoping that i missed something. very torn about this school as it's my last chance for an A this cycle but i also don't love that exams are mostly on mondays and work-life balance doesn't seem to be great compared to other schools. feeling grateful but afraid lol

Maybe some current students could give some insight on your other concerns, but for step 1, it seems like they do have dedicated study time based on this:

I'm gonna be completely honest...that's incredibly embarrassing for them. That kind of thing would be an instant R if it came from our end lol

Did anyone else get the email about the priority alternate list review beginning? They sent it twice since it looks like there was a typo in the first one.
