How long did it take to hear back from them after your interview for Rutgers? I was the first group in January and they haven’t sent me anything. So confused lol

I had my interview on January 22nd and just heard back yesterday (3/9)! I also saw that they are still continuing to do interviews through mid March so I think thats why it took so long.

Hi there! No such thing as a stupid question. 😊 I did not apply to either of these schools, but in my experience applications are often reviewed in the order that they are received. Some schools that I applied to accepted candidates in batches, so they find their most exceptionally qualified applicants and notify them first, and then in a week or two reach out to the next group of applicants ranking slightly below them if there are spots remaining. I'm fairly confident that the alphabet does not play a factor. Hopefully this is helpful ad you hear back soon! Best of luck!

Thank you for the feedback! I literally sent in my application on the last day so that is probably going to be a factor against me 🙁 lmao Hope you get into the schools you applied to!!

(Waitlisted: LSU Shreveport, UTMB)

Accepted: LSU Shreveport (from waitlist), Washington University, UTEP, UTRGV

Rejected: UTSA, TWU Denton

*Texas Tech offered an interview but I wasn’t able to take it because it conflicted with my UTMB interview. TTU wouldn’t reschedule 🙁

I'm stuck between a few schools and I'm wondering is anyone accepting their seat at Seton Hall? I've heard many good things about the school but the price does concern me in loans, I haven't heard from Kean or Pace yet which I'm also debating attending (if accepted). Just looking for some feedback and pointers about Seton Hall!

Hope your interview went well! If you don't mind sharing, how did the interview go? I have an interview for Kean this Thursday from 6-9 and am quite nervous about the format and the length.

Oh shoot 😥 I see that you didn't love your GRE scores but is there anything else that you think could be going on here? I will say that typically, being a non-traditional applicant is viewed positively! You still have five more schools to hear from so keep some hope alive. You'll get there, this is a hurdle but nothing you can't handle if you really, really want it. 💛

Most likely UW Milwaukee since it was my top choice that I was accepted to. Madison is the only other one I would consider, as it is also an amazing program! Are you interested in any of the schools I applied to?

Hello all!

I applied to both Kean (MSOT) and Seton Hall and was just wondering if anyone heard back from any of these two schools? Also, do you guys know if they accept people by alphabetical order or just by the application? May be a stupid question haha sorry. Good luck to you guys hopefully we all get into some school!!!
