I just got a call from UMDNJ admissions telling me that they want to interview me a second time to ask me some "clarifying questions" about my application. Does anyone else have any experience with these? Should I be worried? The person who called said the second interview is "neither a bad thing nor a good thing" but I don't know whether I should believe her.
 
interesting is this for RWJ or for New Jersey Med in Newark? Thanks.
 
Look at it this way. Why go to the trouble of interviewing you again unless they are interested? If you were a dud, why ask you more questions? It's a good thing. 👍

I agree. Congrats! 👍
 
Thanks guys. This was my first interview, so I wasn't sure what to think when I got that phone call today. I feel better now.

It goes without saying, but just be sure to be absolutely honest at the next interview and I'm sure things will be cool.

I'm assuming you are in state. Do you have any idea how many out of states they take? I actually want to go there since I have family around the area. Good luck on second interview!
 
I just interviewed there, and I absolutely loved it. I want to go there so badly...........

I interviewed twice at NJMS last year. I never even quite figured out where the "confusion" was over my first interview either... in any case I ended up getting waitlisted and eventually rejected. But I got interviewed there again this september (my third in 9 months at NJMS) and was accepted a few weeks ago. So anyway, don't think a second interview means your in either....
 
de ja vous, i knew i saw this thread before. now there's 3 threads.

i go tomorrow. good luck to you all. i hope we all get in.
