Does anyone know when secondaries are sent?

 

[GoldNumerous]

Does anyone know when secondaries are sent?

Haven’t received yet but was told by admissions to expect secondaries to come mid-June unless you applied EDP, so they may be running behind a bit

 

[Strattera]

Still no secondary :/

 

[nontradkitty]

Still nothing! Anyone else?

 

[folkstyle]

Still nothing! Anyone else?

Nope. Nothin.

 

[idkjustchooseone]

Is this school still worth applying to with no ties to the NE? I didn't realize how big of an IS bias it has before I submitted my primary.

Where is the big IS bias?

 

[sensorimotorstage]

In a wild turn of events I got the Cooper MD secondary before the aforementioned Mid-June DO secondary lol.

 

[njstudent76]

Where is the big IS bias?

from what i saw in the data i think its 70-80% IS students and the rest OS, but they don't discourage OS applicants

 

[njstudent76]

Still nothing! Anyone else?

nothing yet, expecting another 1-2 weeks of waiting at least

Do they ever send secondaries for this school?

it definitely takes a lot longer than other schools lol. it took me a few months to get my secondary submission reviewed, but once they did I got an interview a week later 🙂

How has your first-year experience been at ROWANSOM so far?

Do you know how they look at OOS students? Do you think stats help?

How has your first-year experience been at ROWANSOM so far?

Im starting orientation Monday! I've done a lot of the optional events this week - an ice cream social on campus, meet and greet yesterday, and touring the campus. It's been amazing!!! everyone is really friendly and kind and welcoming. also, they give out so much free swag! stratford is so safe and i feel safe walking my dog around. 🙂

i also really like that rowan is pass/fail, and the PBL track only has 1 test per block, and it's on boards material, so theres no wasting time on lectures + low yield stuff.

 

[Rooks]

stats definitely help. my stats are above average for this school (my mcat is a 511) and i think it definitely helped me get my foot in the door. i think they look for mission fit and knowledge of the school + osteopathic stuff. i know other out of staters here who had like 508 and 507 i think. I also had zero research or clinical jobs.
