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?

Idk for sure, but I'm also on it and I like to think they wouldn't have two alt lists if they didn't take people off of the priority one

 

[Soyantha27]

Regular alternate list today. So disappointed

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

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.

I heard they were taking away the ranking starting next year

I think in my student session I heard this as well

 

[premed74632]

Haven’t heard a thing since 1/17 interview. Anyone else? It seems that people are getting decisions that interviewed after this date

1/11 here! Hopefully it’s a good sign

did they say anything about keeping or taking away the graded preclinicals?

 

[HauntingDevil_0776]

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?

 

[deleted1130343]

This school is killing me

 

[harmeeetk]

Is it appropriate to ask when we should be hearing back by during the dean/student session? Lol

I think that’s a normal thing to ask, they might just tell you also. Although my interviewer said I’d hear back by mid February and I’m still waiting.

 

[deleted1117304]

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.

 

[deleted1117304]

do u know what his email address is?

[email protected] !

 

[doctordoodlebob]

has anyone emailed dr. heinrich and gotten an accurate answer about when they’d heard back?

 

[deleted1117304]

some decisions expected over the weekend 😅

Thank you for emailing! Here’s to hoping 🙏

 

[harmeeetk]

[brickcityboy]

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

 

[deleted1117304]

waiting until 9:35 then giving up hope for a call today 🥲

[brickcityboy]

well…see you guys same time next week?

I'll be there unless they WL me and put me out of my misery.

 

[bts2025]

trust me, WL is a whole new level of misery
I think no news is almost like good news in the sense that at least you're still being considered for an acceptance

 

[harmeeetk]

Does Dean Heinrich only call on the weekends??

I’d say at least 200-300 based on the old groups on Facebook and last years thread
