Has anyone received any updates from Rowan after mailing your deposit to admissions?

I did to sign off on a background check, but I don't know if that was pre or post receiving my deposit.
 
Should I submit my secondary this late? I'm OOS and received my secondary app more than a month ago but delayed sending it in due to IS bias. Only 2 interviews so far and looking for potentially more down the road.

Anyone still taking graduate courses and get an interview? I heard that they sometimes don't offer II until you've completed whatever courses are currently in progress but idk how true this is.

I am currently completing a master's and got an invite/acceptance.

In the area, The Village, Vista, Foster Square, Pine Hill, and The Landings at Pine Lake are all pretty popular. Foster square is more $$$. I'm at Vista and we like where we are. 5 min from the school is pretty nice

thank you!! good to know.
 
I know I'm late to the game here, but under the application status page on my portal, every part of my app has the green check except the LOR and application complete section. However, when I click on the LOR section, it says they have received my committee packet.

Anyone have this problem?

Give it a day or two and it should update on its own
 
For the barriers/challenges question is it alright to just write about a random challenge you faced?
Like adjusting to a new job?

I didn't even fill it out. It's not necessary. Don't put any little challenge you can think of just to fill the empty space. Leave it blank if it's not significant for you.
 
Anyone else who interviewed on November 5th wondering when the committee will meet again, or when we could potentially hear something?

The committee meets twice a month, and if I am not mistaken, they will meet tomorrow. Good luck!

Also interviewed on the 5th, did you hear anything today?

Accepted SDNs, after the interview, didn't they say the admissions committee meets every two weeks to discuss applications? What's a reasonable amount of time to hear back ?

The timeline is a little strange, but I believe the committee meets every 1st and 3rd Friday of every month. I know this because I asked my interviewer this specific question and he told me they meet "every 2 weeks". I'm pulling for you!

Interviewed: 09/14/16
Accepted: 10/03/16
 
does the school care if you are a part time student for a semester? I only have two classes left for my major and don't want to waste more money on classes just to take them
 
Anyone know where i can find match lists for 2013-2015. I obviouslly have the 2016 one, but really trying to compare between another school

All I know is that RowanSOM has had 100% match over the past 6 years, which to me is very impressive.
 
Anyone know the interview to acceptance ratio? Thanks again in advance!

I think about 55% of those who interview will get accepted.
Applicants 5000
Interviews 400-500
Accepted 250-300
Matriculants 186-200

Pretty much right on the money here except Dean Watkins says she expects north of 6,000 applications this year. The year before last it reached that amount. She thinks that it was slightly lower last year because of difficulties with AACOMA and the new MCAT exam.
