It was actually so chill try not to worry too much! My interviewer asked me mostly about my hobbies and interests as well as my college and gave me plenty of time to ask questions

Sorry to pester guys but the question remains

 

[BiomedEGR777]

Is it typical for this school to do ED IIs/Decisions and then start looking at RD? or is it all at the same time

Actual phone call. You’ll get a call from the dean himself and make sure to empty your voicemail since if you don’t answer he’ll try to leave a vm.

I heard that some emails may end up in your spam folder. You can also check your secondary application portal to see the communication history from the school.

 

[bratgirlmd]

yes!

Do you know how to sign up?

Is this a separate email from the "Rutgers NJMS: Your Application is Complete" email?

If you are invited for an interview, there should be another email with the heading Rutgers NJMS: Interview Invitation

Its super chill, my interviewer straight up told me they just wanted to have a conversation and barely asked anything about my app, mostly just personal stuff like hobbies family etc. Couple questions on thoughts on the current medical system and underserved communities

incredible. Just got a call from them yesterday asking me to move my time up bc my interviewer needs to go in for an urgent operation so I imagine its going to be a quick conversation since the interview def isn't the top thing in his mind

 

[heir_of_snakes]

Do they record the zoom interviews?

 

[heir_of_snakes]

Also, are the RD interviewers members of the admissions committee?

Follow up: do we get to see who our interviewer is before?

 

[heir_of_snakes]

Follow up: do we get to see who our interviewer is before?

I can answer this one. Yes, but less than 24 hours before. In the portal, once the zoom link is set up, you can click on the link, which shows who your interviewer is, but the admissions office advises against this

Thanks! Why do they advise against it though?
