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!

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

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
 
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.

if you go on the website and click on the current students tab, there are links there to get you answers to all of those questions.
Here is the link to the academic calendar for next year: http://www.rowan.edu/som/education/undergraduate_medical/documents/AcadCalNext.pdf

Pre-matric start - 6/22
Pre-matric end - 7/24
White coat - 8/2
Classes/Orientation start - 8/3

I'll be at the in-person pre-matric
Hope that helps with your questions!
 
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

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


OMG! I am super excited for you, I've been following your progress since i got my acceptance back in march. Can't wait to meet you. Big Congrats medlife!
 
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.

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.
