No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Had talking points for the majors (why medicine, why NJMS) and looked over the interview feedback for questions in the past. I got the impression they dont change their questions much and they didnt.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

How much the students liked the school. How well people matched into competitive residencies for a state school. Learned that out of state people get in state tuition!

Its Newark. Prepare for ghetto town.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Parking is a major headache so prepare to park illegally if you dont get there super early.

What are your general comments?

I arrived an hour earlier than scheduled so the admssions people were kind enough to give me a lunch ticket to grab some chow before the tour. The waiting room in the admissions office is pretty chilly and the other person I was interviewing with kept to herself so the waiting was pretty boring. As for the interview, I dont know if they make an effort to match people according to their applications but I had a scary amount of rapport and common interests with the person I interviewed with. The admissions people at NJMS did a fabulous job or I just lucked out completely.
