So the adcom assignment me an orientation date before their interview but I have an actual interview on the orientation day. What do I do? Should I just email them asking if there are other orientation dates?

Bi weekly sessions, but send the email

Is it weird to sign up for the 1:1 virtual advisement session if I received the email in August?

if you are worried about that, try going to their page-> contact us and somewhere you can schedule a meeting with an academic advisor. appointment may be far though, not sure
 
Has Rowan sent out any pre-II rejections I’ve been complete since August but it’s been radio silent for me ?
Based on what I've been hearing, I think they're very behind this year and focusing on ED applications first

Has anyone got any input as to how sewell compares to the stratford campus? Was fortunate enough to get accepted, but wanted to ask about how the facilities compared there. Even things like gymming/library/study spaces/grocery stores/restaurants in the area. Would appreciate any help from anyone 🙏

Current SGL Stratford student here (so not the best answer but I guess it's better than nothing):
Sewell is a nicer/newer building, but much smaller campus overall. Only 72 PBL Sewell students per class and no SGL students (only SGL gets cadavers). More of a rural / small town feel. No gym on campus, you get access to the one at RCSJ but the hours are VERY limited / nonexistent. Library is 24/7 at Sewell though which is nice (the Stratford Library is NOT 24/7).

Students at Sewell will also have to go to Stratford somewhat frequently because the Simulation Center and Research Center are at Stratford, as well as most meetings and events. This means that in the same day you may have to be on both campuses. Everyone I know at Sewell is happy with it, but I would advise living somewhere between the two campuses to minimize the commute to each.

Just got the II today (OOS) but used to be IS for majority of my life up until graduation.
 
For those accepted, does anyone know if the “accept offer of admission and intend to enroll july 2024” is binding on the offer tab of the portal? I feel like its not but I wanna make sure before I click that button.
 
Submitted on 9/06 and still not complete. Called them 2 weeks ago and they said I’m near the top of the list to get completed and still haven’t heard anything…. And then they freak me out with this email on the virtual webinar😂
 
.... So I submitted on 9/28 and I immediately got marked complete?? Like if I look at the communication tab it says both Secondary Submitted and File Complete and I got the emails at the EXACT same time (10:50 PM). Is this what everyone is talking about? And my whole checklist is marked complete too. I haven't heard a thing though besides the webinar email they just sent

you should definitely call or email them again. I submitted 9/10 and got completed mid October, so it must be a mistake that they didn't get to you, which isn't fair to you at all

Luckily I have a DO acceptance already so I’m not too concerned, but it’s getting really annoying. I think I’ll maybe wait another week or 2 before emailing them, I don’t want to be annoying.

Thanks for the webinar invite, Rowan 🙄
 
When do you typically hear back after an interview for this school?
 
Do you guys think sending a thank you letter to your interviewer is inappropriate ?
 
In-state.
II - 11/23, interviewed 12/1, very chill interviewer, very straightforward questions.
If anyone is curious, 3.7 cgpa, 3.9x sgpa, with aacomas in mind. 505 May MCAT, 510 August MCAT.
I was told they would get back to me within a few weeks. Did anyone here get a decision relatively quickly?
 
Has anyone who interviewed on 11/27/23 heard anything back ?
