2023-2024 Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine (RowanSOM)

[Rooks]

Has anyone else still not received an interview invite? Feeling very scared and losing hope. I have decent stats (502/503 MCAT, 3.6 GPA, 2+ years clinical experience, research experience, publication). I set up a meeting with the dean but unsure if there is anything else I can do to stand a chance.

are you in-state?

I also haven’t received an II, and I was complete in November. I think I’m also fairly competitive (IS applicant, 507 MCAT, 3.956 cGPA, 2+ years clinical experience, unique research and extracurriculars tied to tenets of osteopathic medicine), but I haven’t attended any meetings/info sessions to show interest in the school beyond submitting my app. And I have no physician LOR.

I will most likely be rescinding my A because I just got accepted elsewhere.

I got accepted to Rowan back in early December, but I just got accepted over the phone elsewhere, the only school that could have beat out Rowan for me.

I was informed that both tracks are filled up. Any interviews from this point will be for the waitlist.

Oof. Thanks for letting us know! I’m wondering if everyone who already interviewed who hasn’t heard back is gonna get waitlisted now

Where did you get that info from? Now I'm scared because I haven't heard back from my interview yet.

They accepted people last Friday! Hopefully those weren't the last spots 😭

 

[majesticavacado]

You can reach out to the admission office I think. Does anyone know how are we ranked on the waitlist?

Did they wait-list u

 

[razestays]

I originally put down PBL as the track I'm interested in, but after learning more I think I'm much better suited to SGL. Honestly I do not want to be considered for PBL at all. Should I call adcoms to request a change on my application? I have my interview soon so I'm not sure if I should mention it then or try to fix it before hand

They told us you can but it depends on the class size and whether they are full.
so I would reach out but no guarantees.

So any interview from this point as in any interviews being conducted from yesterday or like if anyone has had an interview but hasn’t got in

 

[juliealbright]

Anyone care to share what questions were asked at the interview?

 

[juliealbright]

Got the call from the dean about 2 hours ago, OOS A Interviewed on 2/6; super excited about the move to New Jersey this summer

 

[juliealbright]

Can you share your interview questions

 

[Saw243]

Can you share your interview questions

Why rowan?why Do?tell me about yourself?

Greatest Strength and weakness question

It is a very conversational interview!

 

[Rooks]

i hope i hear back tomorrow... now im worried the class is full :/

 

[Tuesdayz]

Honestly, the questions available on SDN were pretty representative of my interview. Trust me when I say this, the interview was super conversational and low stress (as people above have mentioned). Out of ALL of my interviews this cycle, this was by far my favorite one. Best of luck to you @juliealbright !

how do you know we will hear back friday?

 

[mikasamed]

I called admissions and they said class is full. I don’t know if this is based on decisions already made or for future decisions but it’s making me annoyed that they interview till May even thoguh the class is filled

I know admissions committee is meeting on this Friday so does that mean it’s all for the waitlist?

 

[brackm789]

I called admissions and they said I’m receiving a decision the.

 

[wafflefriess]

OOS II today, complete 2/5!

 

[Rooks]

I'm really hoping to hear back this Friday then. I guess they didn't meet at all last week/last Friday. Good luck everyone and hang in there!

 

[futureDO2023]

The Facebook group chat currently has 210 members. They usually accept around 290 students, so hopefully there are still spots available for you all. Also, there might be people who don't have a Facebook or haven't joined yet but hopefully, you all get accepted to your top choice! Sending good vibes your way. 🤞😊

Do you mean that the dean said they would meet the day after you called (friday February 23, 2024) ?

 

[brackm789]

No they meet every third and first Friday of the month

I went 2/19 to the orientation and the dean told me my interviwer got swamped and didn’t turn in their notes on time as well so it delayed everything.
