is anybody else shitting bricks over decisions being released this week (potentially) (most likely)? somehow it feels worse knowing that the post-II acceptance rate is relatively higher

I feel the same lol. We're all waiting for that phone call 🙏

Is this school done interviewing?

Does RWJ do merit-based aid? Or only need-based?

bumping this

its actually hilarious that RWJMS has 5 comments in its school thread -NJ applicant that got no IS love

I know there’s nothing we can do. But seriously what can we do?? Haha. I’m going absolutely crazy.

I don’t know if it’s worth sending some email even though they usually hate that

i dont wanna get rejected :( im scared

So me. Every time I see RWJ come up on the live tracking, I jump.

I cant tell if it’s sampling bias or if it’s truly so bad for Jersey this year. Like sure I’m seeing it, but it’s probably not true. I like to cope though.

For those who were accepted yesterday, did you guys get an email or call? And if so what time?

Maybe ask on SDN

Hate this trickling of R's--please just rip the band-aid off if you don't want me

its the worst

They called me around 6:30 pm

Do people typically withdraw their acceptances from this school? lol

varies each cycle. last cycle no one did

Has anyone gotten financial aid yet? I thought it was supposed to come last week

How is HPWL movement here? Any chance?

Anyone else apply for the Chancellor's Scholarship?

Nothing yet on my end

For sure! Can't let that chance go to waste lol

just withdrew my A!

has anyone received a fin aid letter? I am so confused because I submitted fafsa quite some time ago and I haven't gotten any notification when I log into the Rutgers portal

wanted to let everybody know that rwjms does not accept letters of intent! perhaps common knowledge but i personally did not know. heard from admissions office directly. they do accept letters of continued interest, though

You think we'll see some HPWL movement this cycle?

Anyone else get the email saying they don't currently expect any spots to open up? :/

I did 😔

Yes, kinda nuts it's so early in the waitlist movement period. Are you on the HPWL?

From the HPWL

Depressed

Yea HPWL

I was on HPWL last year as well and the same thing happened. They overenroll and then do this

i heard that last year noone got off the waitlist. seems like it'll be the case again this year.

Yep. I was one of those people. Still have their email where they mentioned that.

is the wording from the email they sent today any different? any idea when they'll email us again about updates?

In the email from today they said potentially June if any spots open up

This was the email I had received on May 1st last year:

The Office of Admissions is reaching out to communicate our process for high-priority list candidates. Currently the class is full, however we do anticipate movement in the class as accepted students begin to notify us of their intended matriculation to a school other than RWJMS. These notifications usually occur after May 2nd in the late spring or early summer months.

RWJMS has a subcommittee that creates a rank order list of high-priority candidates based on application review. This committee meets in late April and during the month of May to prepare their list. They find it helpful to know that you are still interested in RWJMS. Please feel free to upload a note of interest or an update directly into the application portal (the admissions committee does not accept letters of intent). If you wish to be removed from the high priority list and withdraw your application, please email us at [email protected].

RWJMS is committed to following the AAMC choose your medical school guidelines. We would like to remind you that you are permitted to remain on alternate lists, and we will still consider you for admission to RWJMS even if you have selected “plan to enroll” at a school for which you have been offered admission. We are unable to consider you for admission to RWJMS if you have selected the “commit to enroll” option for another school.

Then this on June 1st:

It is the time in the application cycle when we try to determine the likelihood of accepting students from the alternate lists.  We regret to inform you that we do not anticipate offering any acceptances to the majority of applicants in our high-priority category.  We know that this is not the news you want to hear.  We do hope that you are successful at another medical school; however, if not, we hope this early notification helps you formulate plans for the upcoming year.  If you find you are applying again, please do let us know. We wish you the best will all your next steps. 

Looks like they are more transparent this year. They kept us hanging for a whole month last year.

rip they straight up said this year that they do not anticipate space opening up. cooked asl

Yep. I hope you were able to hear back from somewhere else.

already PTEd to hackensack. just held out on CTE in hopes for RWJ. hope you had As at other schools too!

Weird this email today only said ‘alternate list’ and not anything about high priority despite being on the HPWL

was probably sent to all waitlisted applicants regardless of high priority status since they don't anticipate any spots opening up.

Please withdraw your application if you are no longer planning on attending. 😥 This is my top-choice school and I’m currently on the HPWL!

Just withdrew a few days ago! Hoping one of those spots goes to you🙏🏽

Hi has anyone gotten off the high priority wait list yet ?

Admissions isn’t anticipating taking anyone off of it this cycle

Is there anyone who’s planning on withdrawing their A? On HPWL but pretty sure they’re having insane yield this cycle
