hi I was just looking to start my application for this program, can I ask when you applied? It seems like I'm a bit late to the game.
hey you should still apply! I applied 5/20 (completed application 6/2 with supplements) and just got my acceptance today! It took them 5 days to review my app and send me a decision.
 
Just got accepted into the Dental Scholars Program! Does anyone have any advice for where to find affordable housing?

Mine took a few days I got that email on Friday and my official acceptance letter came in on a Tuesday.
Hi I just officially applied on June 1st how long did it take from the time you submitted your application until you heard back?

This is great! I applied on 6/1 and just finished my supplements on 6/6 so hopefully I will hear good news too. Did you receive an email or did you have to check your online status?
 
Hi! I was accepted to the program and committed recently. I would love to be added to the group chat! My friend did this program in 2018 and had a great experience. She had applied to medical school several times before with no luck and after doing this program she was accepted to 5 DO and 2 MD schools.

Where are you guys thinking about living? I've been searching online but not really finding anything except for society hills and 180 West.

Hi Jenna,
What did you friend say about studying for the MCAT and was this program helpful for preparing her for it?

Wow congrats!, are you on the dental scholar track?
 
Can I ask how competetive yalls stats were? My undergrad GPA was terrible (sub 3.0)
 
Hey just got into the program at piscataway. Is there a facebook/groupme that someone could send me the link to?
 
Hey everyone! Was wondering if anyone had any insight on the rutgers newark program vs the rowan mbs program? Which do you think makes one a more competitive applicant / stronger linkage? I have found a lot of info on the rutgers program (seems like personal advising, research opportunities, great preparation for medical school), but cannot seem to find many student testimonials about the rowan program!

Hi just wanted to say as an update that I just got accepted to the Newark program as well.
 
Hi I just got into the rutgers med scholars program newark would you add me to the group chat?
Hello , I just got into the medical scholars program at Newark! which app are you guys using for the groupchat?
 
I just got into the medical scholars program at Newark. Would we have to wait one year after completing the MBS program to possibly matriculate into medical school? For example, if I finished in the Summer of 2022 I would have an opportunity for an interview for the Fall 2023 class? Also, does anyone know the success rate of this program?

Yes, that'll likely be the case, but most people finish the program in 3 semesters, so you'd finish fall '22, and hypothetically start med school fall' 23
 
Unless you get selected for the accelerated program, then you can avoid glide year. Im guessing its pretty competitive.
 
Hello I just got accepted to the dental scholars track at Newark, can someone add me to the group me?
 
Hey guys! so I just received an acceptance letter in my email! but when I check the status of my application in the portal, it says denied. Has this happened to anyone else???
 
Can anyone who was accepted to the medical scholars track let me know what GRE score is acceptable? I have no idea if I am even in ballpark range 🙁 scrambling to apply at last minute

Hi,

I'm not sure what is considered "acceptable"but I can tell you what I got and got accepted on that track. Math-151 (40 percentile), Verbal-155(67 percentile), Writing- 4(55 percentile). in one of the info sessions i believe Dr. Blackwell said above the 25th percentile is good but don't quote me because i mightve misheard. hope this helps.

Dr Blackwell also gave someone the opportunity to email her their score so she could tell them if it was an okay score to apply with. You can try doing that as well.
 
Does anyone know how much the tuition would cost for OOS students? Is there any scholarships or financial aid available? How do I check my offer letter?

The groupchat I have is for the newark campus. There's probably a Piscataway one somewhere though, but I'm not sure.
 
Hi, I got accepted into the medical scholars program in Newark! Could I be added to the groupchat and facebook page please!
 
me too. I called and they said I should hear by the end of the week but it's Friday 🙁 I applied on the 15th though so maybe that is why.
I applied July 1st. Making me nervous because I really need to get accepted into this program.

I applied July 1st and was accepted today. You should hear back really soon. Does anyone know if the program is online this year?
 
Any PA residents going to this program? As a PA resident, I also got accepted into Geisinger's 1yr MBS program as well as Temple's ACHS program. Having .trouble making a decision. Does anyone have input on any of these programs?
 
I was accepted to both the Newark and Piscataway programs yesterday 🙂 Can I be added to the Newark group me?

What were your stats for the Geisenger program?
 
3.1 GPA and avg MCAT. I've been a full-time EMT for a while and also have research experience from undergrad.

If you're interested you should apply. It seems like strong program
 
Hi everyone, I was accepted into the Piscataway MBS and the Newark MBS program. I'm confused about which one to attend. Can someone add me to the chat?
