New Jersey Schools Part II

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Guys, NJMS did not request a grade update from me as far as I know. Is it mandatory? Those of you that had fall grades requested, was the request sent separate from the interview invitation?
 
My transcript request came about 6 weeks after my interview, sent it in e-mail did not hear back from her, finally got intouch with someone else and they asked for them again. Sent them to them again and still not a word. It's been three weeks. Don't know what the he-- is going on. Mean while I have to send a deposit in to a DO school by feb 20th.
 
Just bumping and hoping for some good news tonight!! 😉
 
g'luck to all of those waiting for a call from Dr. H. maybe he will call during the commercials
 
So, I'm guessing no calls from Dr. H tonight??🙁

NOPEEEEEEE...No calls tonite 🙁 Hopefully, that was the case because Dr.H didn't want to miss the game or the half-time show ...Hopefully he will make time for us some other time or next sunday...Stay Positive
 
I was waitlisted at RWJ. I'm heartbroken. I wanted to be at RWJ so badly. Does anyone know about what my chances are?

i definitely feel you....

was that the regular alternate list or did you get high priority? im in the regular one and havent heard anyone from this year getting high priority but i went to rwj's thread from last year and they mentioned there being two lists

you can call them and ask where you stand in the list too

I'm not sure what list I'm on, but they did say that I'm in the top 1/3. Any idea about what this means?

I'm so sad right now. I wanted to be right next to my family for the next four years. 🙁

well i guess the top 1/3 would be better than the other two thirds...but do you have any acceptances anywhere else?

i dont, if rwj or njms dont bring me off their waitlists its bust for me

I'm really sorry to hear that. Fortunately, I have an acceptance to UIC and one to NJMS (I received both recently). I also have five waitlist letters from other schools.

I hope you get in! We should keep our heads up and stay concentrated... hopefully we can make something happen.

So is there a high priority list this year or not? If we get off the list, are we going to be placed in Camden?

I interviewed on Nov. 11 2006 and was accepted on Jan. 1 2007, so that puts my wait at about... seven weeks?
 
One more questions for you Hypothal and also for those who have waited more that 6 weeks post interview.

Between your interview date and when you recieved your decision did the school contact you for an update or did you contact the school with an update. eg. grades or research update, etc.

I sent a letter of interest to NJMS.
 
Alright, I made a phone call to RWJ about the waitlist.

Apparently there is only one waitlist this year, and there is no "high priority" list. I hope that's good news for some of you!
 
Anyone get a second interview and actually hear good news? I'm getting worried now. My second interview didn't go all that well either (should I ask for another one?). I recently had my second interview.

There's the distinct possibility you're over-thinking the whole issue. Aside from the pure perfectionist/narcisist in the crowd, we all beat ourselves up after such a key event. I'm sure with the combination of the two interviews you were able to give an accurate depiction of who you are. Just relax and give it some more time.

I am in the same boat, I had my 1st interview on Nov 7th and my 2nd interview on Dec 22'. Its been a little over 6 weeks since the second interview. I feel both went well, but this wait is just painfull.
I want to finish writing my thesis but I keep thinking about whats happening with my file.

good luck
 
My apps were complete in september, and I have not heard a single word from my NJ schools. But I did get interviews at other schools!

Why not from my home state!

I called them up and all they say is that my app is complete!

Why is that? Just say it : ADCOM thought my app sucked.

Let me have closure!

Has anyone received a rejection letter from any NJ schools?

If you are from NJ, and live near north or central jersey. I would go and see Dr. H at NJMS. He will let you know what is going on. Do teh same with RWJ. That may get you some answers.

I agree not knowing is the worst.

good luck

Hey
I had my 2nd interview at NJMS about 4 weeks ago and I am still waiting for the decision. I don't think mine went very well either but you never know! So stay optimistic and good luck! :luck: :luck: :luck:
 
Are 2nd interviews only granted for people who are waitlisted? I don't think my first interview went very well...🙁
 
Hey Everyone,

So I just started reading this forum and I thought I can help you all out a little bit... I interviewed in September for RWJ and I just heard back from them with an acceptance... therefore if you haven't heard back I wouldn't rule out an acceptance, however I would call the office to see the status of your application... they told m there was a delay in the processing of my application from the faculty that interviewed me... also I received a call at almost 7 pm for RWJ so I wouldn't stare at the phone because it will only drive you crazy waiting to hear because they really just call when they have free time to... I've received calls on Sunday nights even so you never know when it's going to happen... Good Luck to everyone!
 
Whats the latest with RWJ? Are they still sending out invites? Is the class full? I heard that they behind a lil this year... anyone have any insight on this??????

Good luck!🙂

right now im deciding between mt sinai and albert einstein but im heavily leaning towards sinai... (thanks)
 
Hey guys,

I was placed on the "high priority" waitlist in the begining of December (at RWJ), and I got the call last night.

Hang in there... :luck: to all.
 
I'm am definately leaning towards NJMS. I'm not sure if I will even send in a deposit for rwj. I am going to think about it for a few days, but I am pretty sure my mind is made up already. the only thing that isn't thrilling is the location of njms... but most med schools are not in the great location to begin with (wondering why i did not apply to la jolla)
 
Can you only get a 2nd interview if you're waitlisted or are
there other ways?

You only get a 2nd interview at NJMS if they feel that they still need to know more about you as a person and that didn't happen in the 1st interview. Once you get waitlisted, I am pretty sure you just have to wait until your final decision.
 
Hey guys
I recently received a rejection from NJMS post interview. Now I do have one other acceptance so I won't need to reapply but I'm really curious why I was rejected. Is there any way I can find out why I was rejected??
