Got alternate list yesterday. (11/1)

Is alternate different from waitlist ?

Does movement from the list only begin after June? Can it start earlier ?

Can I send a LOI ?

[systematicX]

Haven’t heard from this school at all and I see a lot of OOS applicants getting II’s and A’s on here 😢

There's a facebook group. Scan the QR code in the accepted student packet

sorry 🙁 what are your stats?

So far I've received 8 DO acceptances from OOS but Rowan has not reached out to me despite my being from NJ 😢.

 

[systematicX]

sorry 🙁 what are your stats?

Above their avg for incoming matriculants. Strong LOR’s and high hours of service and clinical. I think my secondary was well written as well. No ties to the area though. I’m just not sure what they want 😢

I feel you, this process is insanely stressful. Try not to worry because there is still so much time to interview!! No idea how they triage and respond to people, but still so much time and interviews left!

 

[TheRema]

Got my A! OOufff finally!

 

[meoopsshiba]

Got my A! OOufff finally!

Wow congrats!!! Did you get it today?!

 

[custardpie]

I guess if we're nearing our 3 week deadline following our interview it's probably a rejection or waitlist right? Anyone here get the A after 3 weeks post interview?

They told me 3-4 weeks! Hang in there 🙂

does Rowan have a preference for East coast applicants? How strong is its bias?

Stronger in state, decent in the area, harder for oos

I received a secondary invite on Aug 1. Anyone want to weigh in on how badly I've hurt my odds, assuming I send the secondary in the next couple of days? (Older non-trad, 3.94 GPA, mediocre MCAT, and born & raised in NJ.)

Send it now, what are you waiting for. For every day that passes, more and more of an uphill battle

I would still submit! I believe they filter interviews based on stats and give applicants with extremely good stats the first couple batches of interviews. They should be sending out a lot more interviews in the next couple months (hopefully because I'm also still waiting).

10/28

 

[meoopsshiba]

OOS A!!!!! 😭😭😭

wonderful advice, got the OOS A today. For those uneasy after not hearing after awhile, rest assured you'll be chilling

 

[meoopsshiba]

How long after the A did people receive the additional communication, acceptance packet etc?

 

[funkymedrated]

How long after the A did people receive the additional communication, acceptance packet etc?

It took about 5 days to get it via email. Haven’t received a physical copy (if they do send one).

Was wondering if anyone knows what type of ThinkPad laptop Rowan Virtua gives?

Hey! I asked a current OMS-1, and they said they received a Lenovo Yoga.

 

[meoopsshiba]

Did anyone receive financial aid/scholarship info with their A?

 

[Banana Slamma]

anyone know the timeline when interviews roll out? File complete 9/10.

 

[Pandamed011]

Did anyone receive financial aid/scholarship info with their A?

I did not. I heard scholarship are given out much later but would also like to know about this.

 

[meoopsshiba]

It's weird that it's not stated anywhere - and if it doesn't come until May, that's not very helpful regarding deposits etc!

 

[tarnishedhealer]

Based on my understanding from another school’s FinAid department. FAFSA opens up December 1st and financial aid packages will be offered in the spring that should show what loans/scholarships you are eligible for. And if you receive scholarship money from a 3rd party, then I would assume you inform the FinAid department so they can include it your package. I’m like 90% confident that’s what happens.

quick question out of curiosity about pre-matric: are there students or friends of students that could speak on their experiences attending vs not attending, was it helpful, informative, etc? and to confirm that its not mandatory, but if u do sign up for it, you must attend all days/events? thanks in advance!

current OMS-1 at rowansom, its required for some people. depends on grades, mcat, time since undergrad etc. if you sign up or are required to do it you must attend all days. I highly recommend pre mat. it gives you a leg up and its really great that rowan offers it. it set me up to be very successful thus far. it basically teaches you how to study before grades actually count. do it if you don't already have summer plans. It sucks to not have a summer before you start, but I have no regrets attending pre mat and im thankful for it.

Anyone know if it’s possible to change residency and qualify for instate tuition after the first year here?

I heard no sadly from students.
Best to ask the school though on exceptions.

[medseek]

[AnxiousLemur]

do you think its a good idea to send a LOI at this time? I know its not over yet but its been a while...

I'm also wondering now, but I don't know if it's too early.
