2024-2025 Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine (RowanSOM)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Question for y’all who been calling regularly. When you do, have you been giving them your details like name and ID number? I’m wondering if all the times I’ve spoke to them but my name wasn’t asked for means it doesn’t get logged somewhere unfortunately .
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!
 
Yea, I mean I give my name most of the time. But it’s like unlike I specifically ask or they bring up my file and ask me for my details, I feel like I have no idea if they actually bothered noting that I called with just my name. Sometimes it even feels like they just want to finish up the call after briefly telling me there’s no updates or news. Idk maybe I’m just getting unlucky with who I get every time I try.

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!

Right there with you!
 
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.

for all of those who got off the WL, were you guys called or emailed?

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

I wouldn’t lose hope just yet!

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

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.
