Interviewed here on 10/17...radio silence since then and no updates on the portal. Emailed admissions back in December and they said I should have my decision within a few weeks...safe to say this is a rejection.

Some people in last years thread interviewed in October, were never waitlisted, and got accepted in the first couple days in May! Don’t lose hope I’m in the same boat as you.

 

[premed1245]

As I sent that got placed on alternate list after 13 weeks of waiting. Good luck to everyone else!

 

[Yourtypicalgoon]

Interviewed Mid October, just got priority alternate list good luck everyone

 

[behrmeister]

Also got priority waitlisted this morning.

 

[Premed11233]

Also got put on priority. Is there a HPWL this year?

 

[premed1245]

Do peoples emails actually say “waitlist” or are they calling the alternate list a waitlist? My e-mail said alternate and on their website they only mention an alternate list so I’m curious if there is an actual difference or just people calling it different things.

You're right, waitlist=alternate list. Though there is a priority alternate list and a regular alternate list. Not sure if a high priority one exists though

I believe people refer to alternate list as waitlist, yes. According to posts above, there is a priority alternate list and just a regular alternate list.

sames man
edit: priority waitlist idk how much that actually helps

Each Med school has their own process, NJMS only has alternate list (no priority alternate or wait list here), I did a deep dive on it.

There is a priority alternate list!

 

[A_SA]

There is a priority alternate list!

It was not mentioned on their website, where you learned it, and can you please provide any link or details?

 

[Premed11233]

They sent me an email saying I was on it! I think quite a few people got on it last week

 

[premed1245]

I think it’s probabaly one alternate list that’s ranked and they tell those higher on the list that they’re up further “priority”

 

[honey&champagne]

just got put on the priority waitlist

 

[miaminative]

[honey&champagne]

When did you interview?

Dec 18th

 

[lilyz]

Does anyone happen to know when they send out rejections if no interview has been given? Do they wait until the end of the cycle?

 

[mdmd2020]

Hey there, random question but I interviewed a while back and was trying to remember if we were given a folder with information about the school during the visit? I can't seem to find one, but I also can't shake the possibility that we were given one... thanks!

 

[coffeeandteadoctor]

Any acceptances recently? Anyone knows how often the committee usually meets and what day they usually call for acceptances?

 

[coffeeandteadoctor]

Is there any hope if your placed on the alternate list?

I got my call on a Sunday, I think its different for everyone.

 

[kwcty6888]

Waitlisted this morning less than 4 weeks after iterview... Looking through this thread, is this basically an R at this point since they seem to throw everyone onto the waitlist?

 

[Semper-fi]

I interviewed on October 17th and haven’t heard back at all. I emailed admission before Christmas and they said “you should hear back within the next few weeks”...

 

[minerva109]

The admissions committee meets every Thursday. Dr. Heinrich doesn't have a specific day or time that he calls accepted applicants but the call will come up from a blocked number just so you know.

Admissions likes to tell people 5-7 weeks but I know they've been behind lately since this is a really busy time of year for them.

 

[kwcty6888]

Does anyone know if Dr. Heinrich will give feedback about either your application or the interview?

 

[futureFormerChild]

for me it ended up being a priority waitlist, i hope you meet a better fate!

 

[TTP 1776]

Interviewed 1/2

Waitlisted OOS. Thought I had a good interview. The interviewer said I should be accepted and have a very strong application (he also asked how many IIs I had- had 5 at the time so idk if I got yield protected?)

Edit: I got put on the alternate list

Same thing happened to me.

Do you know when we will start to receive info regarding scholarships, paying for school, taking out loans, etc.?

 

[coffeeandteadoctor]

When is the day that students cannot hold more than one acceptances anymore?

 

[deleted870424]

Hey all, I’m an M1 at NJMS. Let me know if you have any questions. I’ll answer DM or on here when I can.

I've asked this like 3 times on this site haha but when do we start getting financial aid info, and do we get any type of scholarships? I've been freaking out about if we have to start applying for loans soon. Thanks for the help!!

 

[minerva109]

For me, scholarship information came from Dr. Heinrich in March and I was accepted in October. But from what I've heard the admissions committee seems to make Dean's Scholarship calls (for which everyone who has been accepted is eligible) around March/April before traffic day.

If you've been accepted already there should be financial aid info in the packet of information they sent out. If you haven't heard anything I would definitely contact admissions or the financial aid office for more info on that.

I was accepted (ED) in July, I haven't received information regarding financial aid (or really anything) yet. I also didn't get the interview day packet that I saw some people discussing above; not sure if that's an ED thing or not.

I received my official offer either in March or April? I don't remember, but you will have time to review before 4-30 which is when you have to actually choose by.
