Thank you @BiomedEGR777 and @soldier boy

Does the secondary invitation include urging you to turn it in within 2 weeks? (Last year it did)
 
for prompt #2 im kinda treating it like a “what are your interests + why us” and then for #4 i see it as an adversity essay. or is either one more of a diversity? super ~unique~ phrasing on their part

I'm guessing 4 could be diversity or adversity depending on how unique your diversity path is.

How heavy is their screening process? 499 MCAT, 3.7 GPA, 3.6 BCMP, strong ties to NJ/former resident. Verified before 6/28 and still crickets. Not sure if they ghost or will send R

A lot of schools have minimum MCAT of 500. I can't seem to find any minimums for Cooper except for their Early Decision program with a minimum of 507.

Yeah I avoided applying to any schools w that stated minimum so I was hoping not to get ghosted
 
Submitted my secondary to realize a minute later that I wrote about learning in Newark NJ instead of Camden! How cooked am I?

Not the best look especially since NJMS is in Newark it’ll look like you copy pasted one of their essays if I had to guess

Yeah pretty cooked since like mentioned above about NJMS… they’re also like on opposite sides of the state so pretty obvious mistake

Appreciate the hopeful suggestion, I already sent an update letter with a short explanation of the error and apology. It was in a passage about being able to do service learning in a local underserved urban population so the spirit of it is clearly for cooper/camden and it was just a typo, hopefully that comes through.
 
Still haven’t received a secondary yet. My stats pass the screening. Anyone else in the same situation?
 
What days are the interviews usually given i.e like what day of the week are the interviews?
 
Would it be too late to apply here? Thinking of adding it on now that I’m almost all my secondaries are submitted. I have strong ties to NJ but OOS. 510 MCAT/ 3.48cGPA
 
i got an interview last week 8/14/24 and complete on 7/23 so they’re not going in order idts.
 
+1 II In-state Today! LM 76. Complete date 7/29. Never did a PreView Exam LMAO
 
Has anyone interviewed yet? Is it an open file or a closed file traditional interview? I have the interview on Friday so was wondering how to prep!

one 30 min interview with two people at the same time, one is blind to your file one is not.
 
I'm wondering if a lot of people have gotten II for Rowan ,and if you are in state or out of state? if so, if you don't mind sharing your stats, would really appreciate. Waiting and hoping for an II from them! (out of state)
