very laid back.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

There are talks in the senate to break up umdnj schools. the osteopathic school could end up getting cut off from umdnj and affiliated with Rowan, which sucks. The research funding will go way down, and they will lose a lot of rotation sites.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Usually at the end they ask you if you have any questions for them. Make sure you come up with a good question interesting question about the school that you can't answer just by looking at their website. Going by the advice of some on sdn, i decided to ask "what do you think I should work on if I dont get in?" Dont do this! She seemed a bit put off by the question since I had pretty high gpa and mcat was a couple of standard deviations above the school avg. She gave me a speech about how I should be more confident .Fortunately, she called me a couple of weeks after, and was pleased to tell me i got in. Good luck. If you have an interview at this school, and you are in state you have a very high chance of getting in. I honestly haven't heard of any in-staters who didn't atleast get in off the wait list after interviewing.
