This is correct! That is all the info I've gotten in emails etc. and pre-matric is 6/22-7/24 for anyone who will be participating in that too!

Does anyone have access to their student email account yet?

Just got an email that hold list applicants are guaranteed acceptance for the 2016 class if we do not gain admission to the 2015 class. I am beyond ecstatic right now! Submitting my deposit ASAP.

@paramore0909

looks like you don't need to submit a deposit until August just in case you get into the class for 2015

Yes, they have two interview days next week.

Nope. Think we have to pay first. But you can use your Rowan ID to make sure your finaid stuff is in order.

 

[PBJ90]

Okay thanks!

Any hold calls?

 

[IAmNotaRobot]

Just to confirm
All I have to do with academics at the end of the term is send them an official transcript?

pretty sure this is correct! make sure to work on the health paperwork. that's the most time consuming thing to get done and it has a June 10th deadline

 

[medlifecrisis]

also what was the talk of possible Apple computers option? instead of Dell...anyone know the verdict on that?

Oh gosh I know!

I feel like I've been working on it forever.

 

[WhyDoWeFall]

The word is that is not happening, you will be getting a PC but I am unsure if it will be a Dell or something else. It will not be an Apple though.

Has anyone on waitlist called? Are they telling the ranks this year like they did last year?

For those accepted,

Are you all going to the summer program? If so, at campus or online?

And can you post official dates for white coat ceremony, pre-matriculation program start/end, first day of classes?

Thanks.

Just withdrew from Rowan. Hoping for good news to those on the waitlist!

 

[reapplicanthelpme2014]

Is there a set date we have to withdraw by?

 

[karling]

Is there a set date we have to withdraw by?

The sooner the better, I'd think. You going to attend PCOM?

 

[medlifecrisis]

Accepted yesterday!! On my birthday!! And she didn't know until I told her! So blessed! Stay hopeful all!

 

[medlifecrisis]

Is there a set date we have to withdraw by?

Hey not sure that there is deadline to withdraw BUT there is a date where AACOMAS reports the names of people accepted and to multiple schools and each school will see where their accepted students got into. Not sure that date but they will start contacting u

 

[reapplicanthelpme2014]

I actually withdrew from PCOM :-/ I'll be attending an MD school closer to home. I loved Rowan so it's hard to give it up, but I hope one of you gets it!

Hey guys, mind sharing stats for those who got accepted? i am applying this cycle.

 

[ksmustang]

Hey guys, mind sharing stats for those who got accepted? i am applying this cycle.

yes_sir_44,

3.0 ugpa, 3.8 gradgpa, overall GPA I don't know to be honest (like a 3.2 maybe), 30 MCAT. Several years of wet laboratory/computational research, completed M.S. in Biology with a thesis (graduated with distinction this past Thursday woohoo!) and I have 2 publications in the pipeline one 1st author and one 2nd author.

My ugpa was most likely my biggest hurdle, but I guess I compensated for it with other achievements.

 

[LuluMed]

3.8c/3.7s gpas. 27mcat. Instate.

 

[Iridescent]

I'm going to withdraw. I would've totally attended, if I wasn't accepted elsewhere. Good luck! I hope the seat goes to one of you beautiful people.
