congrats on the acceptance. which school is it from?

here's hoping that the rest of us hear some good news soon.:luck::luck::luck::luck::luck:
 
First of all, CONGRATULATIONS to all of you who got accepted!!!

Second of all, where's my phone call? 🙂-->😳--😡-->😡
 
Congrats to those of you that have gotten acceptances so far! And :luck: to everyone else!

I'm a first year at NJMS, and I'd be happy to answer any questions you guys have. Oh, and for whoever asked if Dr. H leaves voicemails if you miss the call, he does (I was at a bar that night last year and missed my call).

Welcome to the club. I'm waiting for my call as well, even though my interview was not that long ago. My phone rang while I was reading this thread, got my hopes up, but alas, was just a friend calling to say hello.

btw, does anyone know how many people have interviewed so far at rwj? it doesn't seem that there are that many on sdn, and there were very few on the day that i was there. just wondering. it seems unusually quite, judging from last year, no?

your stats seem quite competitive, plus you interviewed quite early, so i wouldn't throw in the towel just yet.

yeah, i think there were just about 3 or 4 (don't remember if i included myself in this number) when i interviewed a little over a week ago. it seems a bit strange.

I interviewed at NJMS on 9/24 and Dr. H just called me this morning!
At the interview they said it would be 4/6 weeks before we'd hear. I was suprised to hear so early from them!😀
Good luck to those of you waiting for a call :luck:

thanks for the words of encouragement 🙂 :luck: i was reading the "NJ schools part I" thread, and it seems like last year's applicants were a lot more enthusiastic about this thread than we are this year. i wish there was more support lol.
 
NJMS C/O 2012!!!

Congrats to all who received the call and good luck to those waiting! :luck:
 
NJMS C/O 2012!!! Got the call this morning! Good luck to everybody...hope your call will come soon.
 
Congrats, Mets, RU08NJMS12, and wishuponastar! Would you mind telling us when you interviewed, Mets, wishuponastar? I'm trying to convince (rationalize) myself that my interview was too recent to hear anything so soon.

/pokes phone. Ring damn you!
 
what letter do all of your last names begin with who got in- maybe hes calling in alphabetical order and hasnt gotten to us yet?
 
I'm new to SDN...I keep messing up my posts...sorry Tourterm, I wrote below instead. Good luck!!

I was accepted in the summer thru the ba/md program with Rutgers. There was about 3 weeks from my interview time until I found out but that was only b/c they needed to let me know before I started the fall semester. I was reading thru last year's posts and saw it sometimes took the committee up to 8 weeks....so don't worry just yet. I'm' sure the phone will be ringing soon. Good luck!
 
Any other people who got into njms/rwj wanna tell us the first letter of your last name?

I got into RWJ and my last name starts with L. I got a call early monday morning but i might not fit the rule because I had a really personal conversation with Dean T.
I havent heard from NJMS and I am suprised because I thought my interview went well. Is NJMS still making calls?
 
Dr. H just called me at 7:45PM and made me the happiest girl in the world tonight!!! After jumping up and down for about 5 minutes I called my parents and told them the news. I can't believe it!!!😍

He called me five minutes after you at 7:50, and made my day!!!! 😍🙂😱😎🙂
 
got called today...does anybody know the letter of intent deal with nj med? ie you put in your deposit and you reserve your spot in the class, is that deposit refundable, how much time you have to get back to them? congrats to everybody who got the call from dr. h and for those that are waiting for it, good luck, hopefully it will come soon enough.
 
nvm, i found the page with the information that i was looking for. good luck to everyone.
 
congratulations to everyone who has an acceptance. i take it that no one who has interviewed in october has heard so far? i interviewed at both schools in the first week of october, and had consoled myself with the fact that it is too soon to hear anything. but i'm seeing ppl interviewing in late september getting acceptances, so i'm not so sure anymore.
 
pukuhouse i think generally speaking it is about a month of waiting after the interview, but for some people, from what i have read, it was less than that...so in other words i dont think there is a definitive time period. my wait was about a month and then i got the call from dr. H. honestly, stay away from sdn, time goes a little quicker when you are not checking this place 47 times an hour. try and relax, i wish you luck that your call will come soon.

maybe i'm just desperate, but your post has given me renewed hope 🙂

maybe staying away from sdn is the key to this whole conundrum called applications. or maybe i'm just losing it, in which case, staying away from sdn would again be the key. okay. must. not. check. sdn.

good night everyone, and congrats, and :luck:
 
Don't worry, you'll get the call soon enough. When you least expect it.

Even if you're driving down the highway, pick up the call, and almost swirve out of your lane after hearing the news!

:luck::luck::luck:
 
so for anyone thats wondering about rwjms....i hadnt heard anything on monday so i assumed i was rejected but i called this morning just to confirm the rejection. turns out....the adcom hasn't even voted on my file yet, someone needs to return it to them SO for all of you still waiting on rwjms, keep hoping 🙂
oh btw, she said she'll probably get my file back in a few days then they'll vote, i thought adcoms only met once a month? does this mean i have to wait another month to hear? im confused...
 
man... I interviewed at NJMS on september 19th and I haven't heard anything 🙁

i think they meet every other week or something like that. definitely more than once a month. i was reading last year's posts around this time, and the applicants were told that they should expect a 2-3 week turnaround time after interview. that time frame seems to hold this year too, judging from people who have receieved calls so far (granted, there are not too many of those to judge from).

my question is that when i interviewed, ms. kramer told us that there are 30 people on the committee. i never realized before that there were so many people on the committee, and so maybe getting all 30 together more than once or twice a month is not even feasible. i'm assuming that all 30 have to be present for the vote, correct?

hmmm yahh that would make the most sense although 30 is A LOT, maybe they have so many ppl so that not everyone has to always be present? i have no idea, now im just making stuff up lol 😛
 
Whatever the number of members on the committee, I doubt they all have to be present. I'm sure they have some defined quorum they have to reach is all.
 
did any one get rejection or waitlist letters from NJMS yet? I interviewed early and I am suprised I havent heard anything yet.
 
Ok so I am realy getting desperate. Everyone is getting acceptances and here I am still waiting for an interview! They're my top choice 😡


I called them again today and they lady said, "You're application is complete" I asked her if they had reviewed me yet, and she said, "yes and hopefully you get an interview" I am going crazy! Was this her way of telling me, but not telling me, that I am going to get one? Can they see the decision when they pull you up I wonder..

I fully realize that speculating about this is useless but I can't help it!


Also, does anyone know whether NJMS or RWJ sent out rejections yet, and hwo do they send them out (email, call, snail mail?)
 
I'm pretty sure they only call with good news, at least thats what Dr. H. has pointed out in the past.

hey bella, hang in there, i'm sure you'll be hearing good news from them. actually i don't think that many people have gotten acceptances yet so far (at least judging from sdn, there are quite a few still waiting).

also, i think that really was their way of "telling but not telling." in the past, i've been reading that they've told people on the phone that "you should hear from us soon" and that means that they'll be invited for an interview. i think what happens is that after the committee reviews your file, they write down whether or not they will invite you, but i think they also decide when to invite you. in this case, the lady on the phone probably knew that you will be invited, but just not right now.

disclaimer: the above explanation is just speculation based on what i've read from the previous class threads on sdn.

hope this calms your nerves!
 
really? no one else has heard anything? boo :-/
