Discover Your Odds of Getting into Medical School
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hi everyone! So happy to have found this channel. Is anybody here applying to RowanSOM as a non-science major? I graduated last year as an econ major and I just took basic pre-requisites. I guess I did relatively well but still feeling nervous, haha.
 
What are the possibilities of getting an II with OOS no connections?

There is no character or word limit for any of the essays if I remember correctly!

Secondary submitted 8/15, file complete on 8/18, fingers crossed. OOS but ties to the tristate area so lets see what happens

Also, OOS (NY) but have strong family ties to NJ. Fingers crossed.

I interviewed late August and I haven't heard back just wondering if anyone else has? Has anyone received an acceptance?
 
I was completed 8/2, received my II 8/16, & had my interview this morning.

I’m OOS, & RD with my only ties being that I did a masters program up north. Otherwise 4.0 SMP, & 50x MCAT. Hopes this helps anyone!

Congrats on completing your interview already! I wanted to ask how long your "Why Rowan" essay was? Trying to gauge generally how long/short it should be. I could keep it really concise but also could elaborate a lot.

Yes 1-on-1. Everything SDN says the interview will be like is pretty accurate. Overall it was more enjoyable than stressful for me, & confirmed my interest in the school.
 
Although it is super early in the cycle to be wondering this but does anyone know how the WL and HPWL works? when do they start placing people on them and does everyone on either list must have had an interview with the school? In other words can you be on the list without having interviewed?

These are after-interview statuses
 
To the people who got an II

First off, Congratulations!!

Second, whats your stats like (if you don't mind sharing)

Third, IS or OOS?
 
when you guys submitted your secondaries, did the portal checklist say that your letters of references were not yet received (despite having submitted them through AACOMAS prior to submitting the primary app)?? Mine still say not yet received, even though they were part of the primary application, and even my secondary has been submitted and paid for etc.

Yes, they have someone manually verifying every LOR so it can take a while before they're marked as received.

Hi all,

Asking for a friend here. My friend and I both applied to Rowan. They submitted their primary literally 1.5 months before I did. I got a secondary less than 24 hours after my primary was verified. My friend STILL has not gotten a secondary. I am pretty sure RowanSOM does not pre-screen before sending secondaries and send them to every applicant, right? Why is it that they STILL has not received a secondary?? And they’ve checked their spam folder too…. Nada

I don't think Rowan pre-screens. I believe they have to contact the admissions office.

Anyone know how often Rowan reviews applications and send out interviews? I’ve heard they review twice/month but not sure how accurate this is.

not sure if this is a good idea, but you can actually try calling them and asking them your qs that way you get to expose your name to them

Sewell is brand new. It houses PBL cohort. Study rooms etc. new and kinda nice but also the surrounding area is very suburban/not much around. Stratford is also suburban but it lies on the same campus as Jefferson stratford hospital and it’s a somewhat busier surrounding area, next to the PATCO train station which gets you right into center city Philly. You have access to both campuses and their buildings no matter what curriculum track you’re on, I believe. If I’m not mistaken, I think you might even take exams on Stratford’s campus even if you’re assigned to Sewell (someone correct me if I’m wrong about this)
