This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Just got placed on priority alternate list 🙁 interview was 1/28. Is this thing just BS, or do they actually take ppl off of the list?

Priority waitlist, interviewed 1/27. Very so heartbroken. I prepared sm for this and honestly that was the best interview I had this entire cycle. When will the WL's end lol, that's like 5. Feel like there is something wrong w me at this point
 
Has anyone gotten an interview invite this week?
 
Would also like to hear people's opinions on this one...
My source on this is a current RWJ student, so grains of salt blah blah blah

But my sense is that the culture at RWJ is much better. Being true P/F for clinicals there's apparently much less toxicity and NJM is more cutthroat/tryhard/etc. Both of them have pretty solid match lists so it probably just comes down to culture fit for you if you're deciding between the two.
 
Haven’t heard a thing since 1/17 interview. Anyone else? It seems that people are getting decisions that interviewed after this date
 
did they say anything about keeping or taking away the graded preclinicals?
I emailed the dean and asked...he didn't say if they are taking away the graded clinical or not, but he said that the first 6 months of preclinical is pass/fail, but then after that it's honors/high pass/pass/fail. Checking their grading guideline again I think the quintile system might be used in the dean's letter, with "outstanding" being the top 20%, "excellent" for the next 20%, so on and so forth.
 
Any A calls lately? Interviewed 2/2, radio silence. Does anyone know when the latest we'll hear by is?
 
Is it appropriate to ask when we should be hearing back by during the dean/student session? Lol
 
I just called admissions and they said I should hear in the next 2-3 weeks but to email Dean Heinrich to ask for a status update.

I think in my student session I heard this as well

Interesting. Does anyone know why they have graded preclinicals instead of P/F? Has anyone heard if they will revise this policy?
