2015-2016 Rosalind Franklin University Application Thread

[ccouture]

Does anyone else keept getting emails saying that they haven't paid their 35$ fee? I've gotten two emails telling me that I still need to pay, but I paid it like 3 weeks ago and even got a confirmation email saying they received my money on July 24th.

You can look up info on medical school MMI questions and that should give you a good idea of what to expect! It's fast paced and fun.

Long story short, a friend of mine interviewed at Rosalind's PA and med school last year, and said that the interviews are very different between the two programs. I have no idea if they use the same questions or not, just FYI. I wouldnt put all my eggs in one basket thinking that the interviews are going to be identical.

I don't think aryapac meant the rosalind franklin medical school specifically, but the MMI questions were designed for medical schools to use. So when you Google like MMI interview, the examples won't be specifically for PA school

Just received a rejection email from RFUMS.  They said after reviewing my application they could not offer me an interview.  Pretty bummed since I thought I was pretty competitive but that's the way the cookie crumbles.  Best of luck to everyone still waiting. (I was verified on July 20.)

[dream2pa]

Just got my rejection email. Wow I thought I was such a great candidate for RFUMS. I matched every requirement. Oh whatever ; (

[k3l8a]

Does anyone have a rough idea of what that means for those of us who had their application submitted & verified before those of you who have been offered the Aug 28 interview, but have not received either an interview offer or a rejection letter? I received the email saying my application was complete & they needed 4-6 weeks to review it on June 18th and have not heard anything since. I'm assuming we are simply put "on hold" for now and may possibly be invited to a later interview? I assume outlook isn't too great seeing as they will be receiving ~2,000 applications after mine! Thanks.

[khartma1]

k3l8a, I'm in the same boat as you. Not entirely sure that I can speak to what it means but I would think we still have a chance for later interviews. Like you said, our chance is probably not quite as great. I would think it's like they think we could be a good candidate but they want to see what else is out there first haha I'm trying to stay optimistic though because I'd really love to interview here :)

[booker9]

Also in the same boat, k3l8a and khartma1. However I'd say don't be discouraged, as long as we haven't received a rejection that means we're most likely still being considered. First round interviewees have a better chance in rolling admissions, but just remember that entire classes are not filled from the first interviews. There are plenty of students that get accepted from mid- to later-round interviews.

Interviewing August 28th!

[khartma1]

Did they just invite you? That seems like pretty late notice haha

[kelsey lynn]

Did they just invite you? That seems like pretty late notice haha

I know, I'm nervous! I received the email last Friday, and they gave me dates to choose from... Since I'm interviewing at other schools and have personal commitments coming up, I chose the 28th

Also interviewing on Friday, August 28th!

[Avri]

Hello! I'm a current PA-S1 at Rosalind! For those of you wondering if you're still in the interview pool if you haven't been rejected/invited for an interview yet, you are correct! RFUMS keeps a rolling admissions cycle where they re-pool every group of applicants (that haven't been rejected) when they send out the invites.

 

For those of you interviewing on Friday: see you there and good luck!! Our program is fantastic. We can't wait to meet all of you!

[allygator11]

That is very reassuring Avri, thank you! To those of you who have received rejections letters, keep your hopes up and good luck with the rest of your applications! Were rejections letters sent via email?

[Daxmotis1989]

Good luck everyone! This program is awesome.

[mncourtney]

I had a complete application on August 18th.  Does anyone know how long it will be before I hear back?  About a month?

[aryapac7]

It varies! Took me about three months to hear back and get an interview.

[jasmineirene]

Avri,

 

I was in the first round of interviews last Friday and was wondering if you know if they send the final decisions via email or something else?

[aryapac7]

Not Avri but since she's sitting next to me....email! All communications from here on out are through email.

[jasmineirene]

Oh okay. Thank you!

[wesr_gordon]

Hey there, 

 

I will be one of the first year students on the student panel for this upcoming September interview. Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck, you'll love it here!
