What do I do in this situation? I had dramatic improvements in the score report. (AA:19 to 21 RC: 16 to 20 PAT: 21 to 26, etc) Anyone can help me?

Call the school. If they think you might be a competitive applicant with your new scores, I'm sure they'll reopen your file. In fact, call all the schools you applied to and tell them.

Time to pick up toys and go home?

Yea I also got rejected from UMDNJ today. I called to ask if my sub 3.0 GPA was the reason but the woman on the other line sounded pretty agitated and annoyed. She told me to call this other number, which I can't seem to get through.

sheesh. it sounds like they're rejecting people left and right! i guess i know where to expect one of my reject letters from 🙁

At least you got an interview at BU...I have no interview to balance the rejection.

hah, in all honesty, the only reason i think i heard from them so far ahead from anyone else is because i went there for undergrad. i was told that bu undergrads applying to their med school get an "automatic viewing" of their app, whatever that means... i'm assuming that's what happened for me too. don't worry!

i got rejected yesterday as well. first rejection while i have no interview invite so far 🙁 i believe my undergrad science gpa and the fact that i never took full load of science course were the reasons. my dat isn't too bad (TS 20, AA 19) but the letter said my prior academic performance was not good enough...bleh.. the funny thing is i am currently doing master's degree there now! they didn't even give me a chance to improve...darn....

You are doing your Masters at UMDNJ Newark? Are you a first year student? Where was your undergrad?

I want more info! I might do one too.
