UMDNJ Discussion Thread 2011-2012
Started by ShyRem
i interviewed on jan 4th.
Wow... wouldn't it have made more sense to merge each Rutgers campus with then nearest UMDNJ institutions? It's unfair that RWJ gets all the benefits from a merge while SOM and NJMS are left out of the loop.
does anyone know the turn around (days/ weeks) for acceptance packets after you've received a call?
i was wondering that myself. Also i noticed that we only have 14 days to fill out everything and return it to them. I hope they dont' mean 14 days since receiving the call...that just makes me nervous
thanks very much ijongoo!
Prior to becoming Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, it was known as the Rutgers Medical School. NJMS was Seton Hall University College of Medicine.
SOM is the only UMDNJ medical school that was not taken from another school. So basically RWJ is going back from whence it came.

Hey guys,
I have a question regarding UMDNJ. I sumitted by primary app and was reviewed on the 12th. I elected to choose NYCOM,UMDNJ, Lake erie and Touro based on their deadlines. I know its quite late in the cycle and oh, I took the mcat yesterday. Do I have a decent shot at any schools at this point.
Undergrad gpa- 3.7, grad-3.3, Mcat awaiting...
based on the MCAT yesterday, I think my physical sciences score wont reach 10, but others were better. regardless, what do you guys think? is it possible to get an interview and perhaps an acceptance?
Thanks for the input

There are still spots available. Acceptance is not impossible, depending on your MCATs, science GPA and the rest of your application. Yeah you're applying late , but there's still a chance.
30 out of 150 right? That seems like a lot of spots at this stage of the application process? Is the school being pickier this year and putting more people on waitlist?
i haven't received an accepted students day e-mail?
Hmm.. Don't know why you wouldn't have received it. I got it around noon today -- I'm sure you'll get soon (if not maybe you should call?).
Accepted students' day is on March 23rd, we need to RSVP by March 9th.
It doesn't mention anything about a dress code, but you could call and ask. I'd assume it would be something along the lines of business casual.
From part of the letter:
"If you have any questions regarding the Reception for Accepted Students Day/Housing Day Event, please feel free to contact the Admissions Office at 856-566-7050. We look forward to seeing you and your family!"
has anyone received their packets since the 1/20 calls went out?

I haven't received the mail yet either. I got the call on 1/20.
same. this wait has got me kinda anxious lol
I just got the acceptance packet today. The deposit is very low as others have said. It's a $100 deposit + $85 criminal background check fee. However it's non-refundable. You have to return the check with the $185 and the crminal background check forms within two weeks of the receipt of the letter. I probably won't be able to make it to Accepted Students Day because of class but good luck to those who are still waiting to hear back!
Hi everyone, how often are interview invites made? Is it on a rolling daily basis, or is there a set day of the week/time of the month (i.e. acceptances on third fridays)?
I ask because I have just submitted late in the cycle and am anxiously waiting for interview.

It's on a rolling basis. Acceptances, however, are made via phone calls every third Friday of the month. Hope this helps!
I believe the latest is April. However I interviewed at the school last cycle at the end of March and there were only about 4 spots left. So you really do want to interview as early as possible.
Hey! Can someone send me the interview packet?? I haven't gotten the e-mail. I'm @ [email protected]
Interview packet??
anybody know anything about the waitlist and when we get our "rank"??

Hey guys, I've got a question that I hope you all can answer because I find this extremely important. To my understanding, UMDNJ-SOM increased its class size from 100 to 150 over the past two years. (http://som.umdnj.edu/about/index.html) However as any school tries to expand its class size, it should be accomodated with an equal expansion of residency programs. Does anybody know if UMDNJ-SOM will be expanding its own residency programs?
My stats are slightly above those listed, just submitted but still waiting for interview invite.
Has anyone received a call for interview recently????
It would be nice to know whether not they are still inviting prospective students...
from what I can tell, I still see interviewes at the office, so yes I believe they are.
You won't know until the day of. They'll give you a paper with name and contact information.
You'll be going to the Academic Center
Interviews are upstairs on the second floor( once entering the second floor through the main stair case, bear right). Feel free to ask any students around for directions if you are unsure of where you are going.
You should call them and tell them to resend the e-mail. The e-mail has a parking voucher and it also has a form that you need to sign and bring on the day of your interview.

OH yeah. Totally forgot about that parking voucher for visitors. You should totally call them.
Here is a spread sheet that compares match lists, GPA/MCAT scores of matriculates, COMLEX scores, and other types of data. It includes:
-2011-2008 Match lists for many osteopathic schools
- comparison of match results between schools
-GPA/MCAT scores, a profiles of average matriculating students compared between all Osteopathic schools,
-COMLEX scores for some schools
- You'll also find comparison of tuition / graduate indebtedness between schools
https://sites.google.com/site/osteopathicreference/home
(I can't host the spread sheet on the forums because of size limits)
I apologize in advance that I will be mass posting this through out the forums this afternoon but many people have been looking for this data and I want the to be able to find it!

acceptances go out today?
There isn't another deposit, at least I haven't been notified or seen paperwork stating there is one. Just the $185 which includes the background check fee
I know that some DO schools have two. PCOM's second deposit is due April 15th, as per their website: "All accepted candidates are required to remit a $2000 non-refundable deposit by April 15th."
Hence why I was asking when UMDNJ asks for another deposit. But then I went ahead and contacted them and they said they don't have a second one. Yippie!
Thanks for taking the time to respond! 👍
