As interviews and waitlists begin to come in - here is a fair warning about RWJMS waitlists from the past few years. Will this necessarily hold for the waitlist this year? Maybe, maybe not, but this has been the case over the last few years. You may get placed into HPWL with 50-100 other people of whom maybe 5-10 will actually get the spot, despite the language in your email being deceptively optimistic i.e. "quite likely to be accepted".

  • Regular waitlist - Rejection
  • HPWL - actual waitlist. My guess is maybe around 50-100 people last year were in this category.
    • Top 10 in HPWL - Self explanatory. Last year not all 10 people made it off this waitlist.

Last year only one person made it off the HPWL in the rank of "highest priority".The Waitlist in this school is essentially a rejection.

A friend of mine was on the HPWL this past cycle, and based on his communication with the admissions people, they didn't take many people from even the HPWL. I couldn't tell you an exact number because they didn't disclose that, but it seemed like you need to be part of the top 10 to have any kind of shot, and even then, it's no guarantee. Based on what I understood from him, I would take: unranked HPWL, waitlist, and rejection to all be essentially the same

Another thing of note is that I don’t think anyone that is HPWL for the earlier decision date ends up in the top 10.

I wonder why there is no waitlist movement. That phenomena is usually reserved for schools like Harvard.

Schools give out more acceptances than there are seats available. For example if there’s 100 seats a school might give like 200 acceptances with anticipation that 120 people will decline their acceptance. 200-120=80 so that means they would be 20 people off the waitlist. RWJMS is the type to give out 230 acceptances for 100 seats and every may they are over enrolled. Hence no one comes off the waitlist or one or two people.

Anyone get email confirmation after sending a post-II thank you letter? Wondering if I should be expecting it
 
This school has a really small thread. Do we think they’re really behind?

I just came on here to ask the same thing. I emailed them the day after my interview this past Monday and haven’t heard back. Getting nervous that maybe I sent it to the wrong email? Did you hear anything? And if so, do you mind if I ask which email you guys sent the thank you to?

I didn't get a reply after sending mine to [email protected] (iirc, this was the email they said to send it to)
 
When did they say they would release decisions was it December 7th or December 15th?

I'm not sure we can jump to that conclusion (although I want to). It may be possible people are not reporting their interviews, as people are now reporting they were interviewed in November.

I got a reply the day after I sent mine to [email protected] in September. If you sent it to that email and haven’t heard back then the adcoms are likely really behind or delayed

Wait so does it mean that people interviewing close to that date will be notified in spring? (I'm interviewing 12/16)

I think I remember someone saying December 18th, although that doesn’t appear anywhere in writing so I could’ve dreamed that or something lol. But I do know they said everyone interviewed by decision day (might include all of December) will hear on that day and everyone after will hear in March

Anyone who's done the interview know if there's an acting scenario involved? Or is it just being presented a case in words and you respond by talking?

Anyone know how we’re going to be informed of decisions next week? I’m taking a vacation out of the country for a few weeks and am nervous that I won’t get the phone call since I’ll be using a different SIM card. Do they email also?
