Yep! October 15th is the first day they’ll make calls for RD - that’s the first day outlined by the AAMC to the programs. I know from info sessions NJMS takes pride that they will make as many calls as they can on Oct 15th, even if it’s a Sunday, while other programs may wait.

You mean phone calls for interviews? or calls of acceptances post-interview?

People who interviewed already, how did the interview go? Were there any parts that caught you off guard or was it a pretty standard interview?
 
Is it a bad sign if your interviewer doesn’t reply to your thank you email/ are they even allowed to respond?

Few people posted about this earlier in the sub around page 4-5 I think. I think they just needed more information.
 
IS II this morning!! So excited because I was placed on the waitlist last year!
 
anyone receive an email from dean heinrich before receiving II? and did your email specify a specific time and date for interview?

is this common? none of my other II have reserved a specific slot for me.

Is this for RD? For my RD interview I got a general email from the admissions office and it allowed me to select a date and time from a whole bunch of dates

My email from Dean Heinrich was for RD. I then got an email from the admissions office like 2 min later with the basic scheduling info but Dean Heinrich had already specified a time for me to choose so I just chose that

This happened to me as well this morning! I was unclear as to why! I interviewed here last year and was waitlisted so I thought it had to do with that but maybe not!!

I'm a first time applicant so I don't think it's related to that? I kinda assumed it happened to everyone and it was a personalized curtesy, but if it didn't my best guess is that they had a timeline in mind for when they wanted to interview you and wanted to ensure it was before some endpoint. (For ex: Maybe they make first batch of RD decisions on Sept X, and want to ensure that you fall before that date). This is not based off anything lol, just a guess.
 
Do you think it’s a bad sign at all if we didn’t get anything from Heinrich?
 
Hi everyone! I'm a Canadian, new to the US apps!! Just wondering what LM stands for under some people's names when they post (like beside CASper and Preview). Thank you 🙂

hello! this is the LizzyM score, it's a score assigned based on your GPA and MCAT. this can be accessed through the 'calculators' tab on the top bar!

Yeah could be! Or that they want you to interview with a specific person for some reason or another… who knows. I never got that email last year before the invite so not sure

Yeah I interviewed this past week and also received an email from Dean Heinrich telling me that they reserved a specific slot for me and then received the official email a few minutes later. First time applicant so was also confused if that was normal for NJMS.

Anyone know the answer to this? I got a RD interview as well and didn't get anything from Dean Heinrich. I scheduled for the earliest possible time though and already did my interview.

Yeah same, I just got an II email and could pick any day.

An interview invite can never be a bad thing in my opinion. I wouldn’t think too much of it.
 
For those of you who were told a specific day, was it 9/13? And was the email subject title “follow up”??
 
I see this thread is pretty active with IIs and As for ED. Is it too late to submit a secondary? As in like, is Rutgers known for having a fast cycle or do I still have a chance for an interview but much later on? For reference, I just submitted my secondary a few days ago.

Just had my RD interview recently and they got back to me in under 2 weeks from submission with the II, which is one of the fastest I've had. Seems like they're still sending some invites to me 🙂
 
So if most people are having really chill great interview experiences (I did also) how do they decide between applicants? Especially when there are few rd spots after Ed
 
From what I’ve heard, NJMS does obviously favor people with higher scores. There’s things that will obviously put you somewhat above other applicants but the biggest thing from what I’ve heard from past, current, and future students is that you want to go to NJMS for NJMS, not because it’s just another school that you could get into and because it’s close to home, etc.
 
Submitted primaries early June. Verified late July. Still haven't received my secondary application to Rutgers. Any thoughts?
