Yes, I would tell them my name and they would look up my app and note that I called. I definitely recommend sending an LOI and admissions consulting if you haven’t already!

When you guys ask for an admissions consult what do you do during that time? Is it like an application review?

For everyone that is currently on the waitlist and this is their number one choice - what others programs are you guys currently accepted/waitlisted to that would be your backup? I feel like putting deposits down has been like throwing away money at this point in the process

I had a feeling that in how I ranked all of WL’d schools, I would get accepted from the bottom up with Rowan being at the top. So far, it has ended up being true 😂.

Thankfully, and on behalf of my bank account, I trusted my gut and said no to a couple of them. Still not giving up hope for this school though!

OOS A May 29th! Interview was March 20th, waitlisted April 24th.
For late applicants, don't lose hope. I sent in primary in Jan, submitted secondary in march (I think it was on the deadline day lol). Got interview invite 2 days after submitting (3/17). Sent letter of intent 5/22, attended campus tour 5/9 and called about another acceptance the week before getting accepted and said that Rowan was my top.

I interviewed late October and waitlisted mid-November. That's probably not a good sign right?

I wouldn’t lose hope just yet!

 

[drlonghair]

Any PBL acceptances recently?

 

[breadedchickennugget]

Congrats! were u emailed as well?

[historicaldino224]

Quick question - did you guys submit your letter of intent/interest through the portal or by emailing them?

congrats! what were your stats?

 

[unnamedlobster12]

OOS A for PBL yesterday! Declined, hoping it goes to one of you! (Also just a heads up if you get it I think you have to be at pre-matriculation this coming Monday)

Could you explain why? It it because of the late acceptance, grades, MCAT score, being PBL, etc? Seems pretty crazy to expect someone to move states last minute over a weekend

 

[redbeetle_333]

I thought pre mat was optional

I actually don't know and didn't ask so take that with a grain of salt. My email said it was required for me and I'm OOS and have high GPA and MCAT and stuff so I thought maybe it was bc its PBL or bc I'm coming off the WL or something. Just wanted to give a heads up that that is something other people might encounter too. Does look like they offer cheap short term housing on campus for pre mat so I'm sure they're accommodating if you are in that situation

Very weird. You can confirm though that the premat start date is this Monday, the 9th? Jc since it’s not posted anywhere as far as I’ve seen.

Yeah that's what my email said. June 9 to 27th

Do you recall what time you were emailed?

 

[justmagnetic]

Hello all! Any recently admitted students need a female roommate? I am withdrawing my acceptance offer to rowan-virtua and need someone to fill my space as I signed a lease - if anyone is interested please directly message me!

Did you take gap years by any chance?

 

[drlonghair]

Any movement today?

 

[BandaMaker3000]

Hoping and praying for some movement this week! Inshallah

 

[Banana Slamma]

anything for today fellas?

 

[drlonghair]

Nothing

 

[finnaisgag]

I called the admission committee yesterday. They said there are multiple drops last week and told me to wait for updates.

 

[BandaMaker3000]

It’s been a dreadfully quiet week …

 

[drlonghair]

Hoping and praying we hear some good news tomorrow!

 

[finnaisgag]

Can anyone with access to the 2029 GroupMe tell us the student count and movement??

 

[Justcuriousstar]

Just want to give some hope to people, I withdrew my A from Rowan Som recently.

 

[Banana Slamma]

Can anyone with access to the 2029 GroupMe tell us the student count and movement??

Hard to tell because there are admins, 2nd yrs, 3rd yrs, and lurkers in there. We should see some movement this month however.

 

[violindoc_2029]

OOS A off the waitlist yesterday!

 

[glitterandcake]

Is there movement expected throughout the next couple weeks?

 

[finnaisgag]

Rowan's orientation is in 29 days. I am seeing alot of withdrawal but not alot of acceptance. Starting to lose hope as an OOS applicant.

 

[BandaMaker3000]

New week ladies and gents, let’s see if there’s any movement! Inshallah

 

[drlonghair]

It’s been silent for me this week

 

[BandaMaker3000]

Yeah fr

 

[atomicnugget]

Anyone call lately for any updates? Been a silent week, maybe the most so far.

Yes, I called yesterday they said they anticipate movement in the next few weeks but all we can do now is wait.

Yea sounds like the default script, thought they would have something new for us maybe.

 

[redbeetle_333]

It's just gotten so competitive year after year that it's come to this point

Yeah I really feel like schools giving us a shifting waitlist ranking quartiles would solve so many issues. Like I’m not gonna wait hold my breath if I’m in the bottom 50% or knowing your in the top 10%

 

[Banana Slamma]

I called and was told around end of June we can hear back for movements this month. Orientation starts July 14th so we can hear back until then. With that said, it's getting a bit grim right now.

 

[Fastrunner28drone]

I’m curious if they will start reaching out to people once boot camp is over?

 

[BandaMaker3000]

When is boot camp over? Does anyone know?

 

[Medgirly411]

When is boot camp over? Does anyone know?

Is boot camp pre-Mat or is it something else?? If it’s pre-Mat, the last day is 6/27

 

[Banana Slamma]

Rowan just has pre-matric. It's like a bootcamp. It should end around the end of this month. Maybe we can hear back then?
