Me neither.

 

[princeVegeta21]

Hey, is this a state school

 

[princeVegeta21]

Is it worth it to apply if you are OOS?

 

[blurry__]

Is it worth it to apply if you are OOS?

Website says: “Rowan-Virtua SOM does have some preference to NJ residents, but out-of-state applicants are strongly encouraged to apply. We accept competitive applicants from all over the country.”

 

[saren99]

In last year's thread, ppl didn't start getting secondaries until July 7th, so maybe they will start sending them out tmr or next week.

 

[areptiledysfunction]

I think that the year before that they didn't send them out until mid August, like on the 15th.

 

[asfhxmf]

For what it's worth, I visited two weeks ago and they said they were thinking of sending secondaries mid-July

 

[areptiledysfunction]

Oh sorry I meant mid July.

 

[areptiledysfunction]

Someone on reddit said that the website says it will be sent out july 10? I don't see it anywhere on the website though.

 

[premedvybes101]

Hey, is this a state school

They do have an instate preference but they also welcome oos applicants

 

[princeVegeta21]

Did anyone get a secondary application for this school?

 

[areptiledysfunction]

Doesn't seem like it. They did do a whole redesign of the website though lol

 

[saren99]

Does anyone know if they screen for secondaries?

 

[areptiledysfunction]

Does anyone know if they screen for secondaries?

I don't think so. They do have a preferred MCAT and GPA though

LOL that email was a cry for help asking us not to bombard with phone calls about the secondaries! That is super late compared to last cycle though... I saw the first secondary noted was July 7th

 

[areptiledysfunction]

To be fair there are medical schools already having interviews

 

[TuttiFrutti14]

To be fair there are medical schools already having interviews

this does seem to be a late blooming cycle for them but I hope their II turnaround is quick

 

[anxiouspremed99]

Trying to prewrite their secondary, don't think they have a word limit/character count. What are you guys aiming for?

 

[areptiledysfunction]

I wouldn't aim for a word count but rather a completion of thought.
