Any news from NJMS for students who applied through TCNJ?

@Papajohns2013 My son got admission into GRU/MCG. He got an email from them today at 4:30PM. They said that they are going to send the packet in snail mail next week.

Congrats n Thanks kpdmom.

My son also received same email.

*Congratulations to you too!

@pbmelach - Thank you for the information on the Northwestern interview.

Do yall think there’s any hope for Boston Interviews still?

@summerlover1 We called up last week and the admissions office said they were running a bit late this year and that interview notifications would still be sent out until or through March.

Any word on HPME interviews? Haven’t heard anything in the past few weeks


@kpdmom @Papajohns2013 Congratulations! Are you in state or out of state?

We are in state. But, there is no preference for in state students. Also, I know that MCG is a great medical school
but I don’t know how GRU is. Does anyone know anything about GRU?

I had my NJMS interview recently, and I was wondering if other interviewees ran into the same scenario: The interviewer dislikes the 7-year program concept. My interviewer and one of my friends’s interviewer were both very vocal on the topic, though they mentioned that it would in no way reflect itself in our reviews. Just wondering if this was an orchestrated thing or just coincidence?

Should be last week of February- First week of March

got rejected from Wash U’s univ. scholars program.

nothing yet from Pitt GAP
 no email, no snail mail. is it a reject by default? and only the selected get the email?

@lifeishard‌ So, you attending Caldwell? BTW How’s Caldwell? Isn’t Caldwell City very expensive.

@innocentwanderer‌y My NJMS interview was that way too! But at the end he happily said “Aw I wasn’t able to convince you to do 4 years haha”. Who was your interviewer?

@innocentwanderer @jb9832‌
Most of the students who get into BS/MD programs have academic credentials and extra curricular activities to get into TOP/IVY schools.

Or with full scholarships (Only for undergraduate) in 2nd tier schools like NJMS (Rutgers / TCNJ).

My D was asked: What would you choose between IVY or BS/MD.
The interviewer was checking student’s motivation to go to a integrated Medical program.

My Opinion:
Their primary job is to select candidates/students who have made up their mind to do Medicine and willing to join their school.
Hope you convinced the interviewer that you are only interested in a career in Medicine (Or 7 Year program).

Best of luck in getting into a BS/MD program. :slight_smile:

@‌indukm Call Pitt GAP to find out. They sent out all replies on the 17th.

Any insight into NW HPME interviews from those who went would really help. What are the stats? Applied/intervied/accepted? Does anyone know?

@innocentwanderer, @jb9832‌, @pbmelach - Hope your interviews went well , Are you instate for NJMS ?
was the interview notification through email or phone, do you know happen to know the name of the interviewer.Thank you for the info and good luck!
