Rutgers School of Dental Medicine Class of 2025 Interview/Acceptance Thread

[disney55]

I received an interview invite from Rutgers on Oct. 21st (to interview in November) and was told to confirm for an interview by today (Oct 23rd). At first, I emailed requesting for a virtual interview, but then sent a follow-up confirming the in-person interview. Did any of you receive a response after you sent your email confirming the interview invite?
Thank you in advance

Just had my interview yesterday. It was very chill and conversational. It was definitely open file because the interviewer did ask me very detailed questions regarding my app. I have had 4 interviews before this including MMI and PBL and regular interviews. Rutgers interview was the longest, took me about 30 minutes.

Mind if I ask what 4 interviews that you had done? PBL is the one for USC?

Based on the thread I have been checking, they would most likely notify around 5am est email

 

[mys99]

I'm stressed out now. Does that mean they accidentally sent rejections early and changed it to "received/under review"??? I had check back on December 15th, but those who got denied are making me worry about the current status.
