What is the difference between Rutgers NJMS and Rutgers RWJMS?

Both NJMS and RWJMS are Rutgers-Affiliated, but they are independent institutions. NJMS is located in Newark, NJ and is associated with University Hospital (among others in the area), while RWJMS is located in New Brunswick, NJ, and associated with hospitals in that area. Although both schools are part of Rutgers, they have separate applications.

Do you guys know if we can write NA for questions that don't apply to us? For instance, one question asks "If you don't currently reside in NJ, please share connections (if any) you may have."

1.) We value qualities of integrity, humanism, diversity, and cultural competency in our student body. What would you bring to our medical school community? 1500 characters
2.) Please discuss additional information not addressed in your application that you feel is important for the screening committee to know in reviewing your application (i.e. personal experiences, examples of resilience, discrepancies in academic history, etc...).
3.) If there is any other information you feel enriches your candidacy, please feel free to share it here:
4.) If you don't currently reside in NJ, please share connections (if any) you may have.
5.) If you will not be a full time student between June 2016-August 2017, please describe in detail your planned activities, including chronology and time commitment.

I am putting N/A for that question. I'm answering the rest.
 
Has anyone received an interview yet? NJMS website states interviews are granted as early as July 1st!
 
does anyone know how early can an interview be conducted on the day you schedule it for? like 9am or something?

MCAT

I am applying regular decision but still have not received a secondary yet despite being verified at AMCAS on June 14. Has anyone not applying ED received secondary from NJMS yet?

I'm also regular applicant and haven't received the secondary. I know they don't screen, so not sure what the holdup is.
