This new MD school will be in Camden, NJ and will be affiliated with Rowan University ( a state school) and Cooper Medical Center (the biggest hospital in South Jersey).

Thanks for the heads up.

Highest crime in 2009? Yikes! I thought the worst place would be Detroit or Oakland for some reason...no offense to anyone residing there.

bumping this in case anyone has an inside scoop and would like to share. there have been no updates in the news or on the website regarding accreditation, and we're 4 months from the application cycle

A lack of updates is not surprising. Until the LCME gives them provisional accreditation, they are unable to recruit students at all and any violation of this can result in the school never being accredited at all. Further, as is the case with all new schools, the school will not be fully accredited until they graduated their first class.

This is good news. I'd never heard of this medical school before...

Hopefully NJ people will stay in their own yard now!
