Personally, I thought Rutgers RWJ had a much better interview day. NJMS gave me the least amount of information out of all of the interviews I attended. Shortest interview and I feel like I don’t know that much about the school?

Based on the interview and on communications with NJMS, I can already tell they aren’t the most organized. I think it is likely to be as bad as a student.

I still really like them though lol I saw on MSAR that they are true P/F and that they don’t rank. Where did you see that they do?

It says they rank on their website and I was told by current students it is actually switching to Honor/HP/P/F after body system for M1 and M2. This switch starts for incoming M1s, which would be us. But yes, it was also my shortest interview day and I had that similar feeling of not knowing much.

Thanks so much for the info! I wish MSAR was updated.

If it was staying true P/F for preclerkships and no ranking, I’d say 100% go for NJMS especially because staying with your sibling seems very important to you, but OP you will have to figure out what matters more. To me, true P/F and no ranking are most important because we already made it and I don’t want a competitive environment.

Very true! The grading scheme is definitely something to consider!

It sounds like you have a guaranteed support system at Rutgers RWJ with home right there and people you know who are already in school. Also your sibling still has a chance to get in there and I wouldn’t say they’re guaranteed at NJMS unless there’s some kind of program or something.

Your cons are essentially that you don’t know if you’ll like being in the same place again. I would do RWJSM.
