Hi! I just recently received my acceptance to the program and didn't see a thread for people in the program and decided to start one. I just thought like the other programs, this one should have a thread too for people to chat and meet! If you've been accepted and might be going, post away!

Hi I just got accepted to the UMDNJ program as well, I am debating between LECOM and UMDNJ, has anyone heard anything about either of these programs (bad or good)? I would very much appreciate any help I can get.

I am a little turned of by LECOM being in the area it is, b/c I love big cities, but I have heard alot of people say it was very helpful to them.

Again any help would be great.

Hi there, I actually don't know much about either program to be honest. Unfortunately, not many people seem to be responding on this forum about UMDNJ so I haven't gotten any feedback either. I've been researching the school a little bit and it seems like a good program. The people I spoke with at the school were nice and helpful as well. Sorry I'm not of much help, hope you find your answers!! Let me know what you decide!

I'm going to be attending UMDNJ in the fall, as well. 🙂

I'm actually looking for a roommate, so if you're interested let me know!

Hey Everyone 😎 !

I'll also be attending the MS program at UMDNJ. I'm really excited and can't wait to meet everyone!

Talk to ya late r!

 

[Determined_One]

I'd like to know what everyone's currently doing before classes start. Is anyone planning to take the MCAT or DAT before the program starts?

Any idea when Orientation is?

What courses are you planning to take 1st semester? 🙂

Feel free to send a PM 😎

Yay! So excited to see people post that they are going to the program also! Where are you looking for housing? I know they're opening up that new graduate housing complext on or near campus and wasn't too sure how to go about applying for that. I was told to email leslie lucy to get my name on a mailing list? Anyway, I just don't really know much about the area so let me know what you all are doing!

Orientation begins Monday, August 21st. I'm planning on taking the MCAT again on the 19th and i'm from CA so that'll be a hectic weekend for me! I don't know which courses I'm taking just yet, I'm not even really sure how to register. Good luck to you all, excited to meet you in a couple months!

I don't quite know what to do about housing either, and I'm from NJ! 😕
I've asked a med student who attend NJMS where most UMDNJ students live, and he said safe places to live are Montclair and Belleville. I'm actually thinking of living in Jersey City or Hoboken because of their proximity to NYC.

Anyone else have housing ideas?

I've been doing some research and was told to also look at places in Kearny and Bloomfield.

I will also be attending. 🙂

Hi there-- I am also going to be starting the MBS program this fall. I am also taking the MCAT in August...Is anyone else in the same boat?

I live in Jersey City and I am also within walking distance of Hoboken, so if anyone has any questions about either area, you can message me. Or, just message me to introduce yourself 🙂 Looking forward to meeting everyone at Orientation!

Wait a minute ! There are 3 different UMDNJ campuses... 😎 ...where's everyone going?

I'm attending the campus in Southern Jersey. Gosh, I hope I won't be the only one.. 😕 ..

There's an MS/MBS program at a different campus? I thought it was just at the Newark campus (northern Jersey). I'm not sure where everyone else is going...

Peppy, I'm in the same boat with MCAT on the 19th and O-week on 21st but i'm skipping orientation to go to hawaii (supposedly orientation is nothing too important). Registration is supposed to happen in the mail in august. Anybody have good info about classes/teachers? Also, there's a very negative post about the program on SDN but it's from 2003, hope things have improved.

 

[peppy6]

I don't really know much about teachers and classes, sorry! Hawaii sounds fun, I'll be packing frantically and moving out to NJ while you're enjoying the beaches!

Where is everyone thinking about living? I think I will be in Jersey City.

Yeah I read a negative post from a while back as well, I think it might be the same one but I just read a few more from people who really loved it at UMDNJ- med students, MS students, and others- so it sounds like a pretty good place to be!

Hi there,

I am in the Newark campus. I was wondering if anyone here knows whether they are taking the medical or dental course at NJMS? I haven't heard anything about it from UMDNJ. Hopefully, someone here has a better idea of how registration for these courses work. Thanks a bunch!

Also, I am taking the August MCAT and am looking for a study partner. If anyone here is from the NJ or NYC area and would be interested in meeting a few times before test day, shoot me a message. Even if you're out of the area but are interested, let me know. I don't mind exchanging lengthy e-mails. Just a few more weeks left!

I don't know if I am taking those classes yet. I emailed Dr. Ingoglia about whether or not I was accepted as a student who could and he just said that we would here from them shortly. I guess registration will be done through the mail?

I'm taking the August MCAT but am not in NJ, I'm in CA...but feel free to PM me and we can message back and forth w/ questions or something!

I received my acceptance letter from UMDNJ_Stratford. I recently found out about these programs and missed the deadline for the Newark Campus.

Does anyone has more info to share about the stratford program in terms of experiences? I see there are some posts from 2005.

Hi guys!! Did you all get the email about registration and orientation? What exactly is MGM- They say it is suggested for those who want to go on to medical schools but I didn't know if it was a class w/ medical school students or something else. If we were not pre-approved, does anyone know if we're allowed to take other classes w/ med students?

Hi Im new here and was looking to post for a roommate(s) looking to find housing in the Newark campus area. Im looking for studious individuals who is/are in the similar program and are particularly in the dental track. I'am currently pre-approved for the dental physiology course and can hopefully find either a MSBS student also taking this class in fall 06 or 1st yr dental student going to UMDNJ.

Im going to go to UMDNJ to scout out places to live today. I'm hoping I can find something really really close to class so I can jump out my window, take a few steps and not be late for class.

I'am also interested in information on electives and other classes that ppl might suggest, lecture notes that people who finished the course do not want and/or advise about classes, neighborhood, etc. * Big bro or big sis would always help *

Thanks in advance for any response you decide to send.

Kind Regards

Hi guys! Just wanted to say that I can't wait to meet you all in a week at orientation! Good luck to all of you that have a big move ahead of you, I'm moving from CA myself so it'll be quite the adjustment!
