aoc1289 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 My caspa was sent on June 23 and the supplementary the beginning of July. I got the interview email a few weeks later. The interview was very relaxed, I felt very comfortable and everyone was very nice. I was interviewed by 3 people. Idk how I did, it seemed to go well but ya never kno! I'm going crazy tho now waiting!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_027 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Hi All, So I reviewed the Pre-requisites for UMDNJ (I'm a career changer), I notices that A&P was not listed as required. Is this correct or am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_027 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I know it's highly recommended, but I guess what I mean is, It's recommended but not required? I just don't want to miss anything, lol Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmcqu Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I interviewed on 10/8 but have not heard back from them yet. has anyone heard anything/gotten that magic acceptance letter? Good luck to you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centosan Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 @bmcqu I'm still waiting to hear whether I get a chance at an interview or a rejection... May I ask how long before UMDNJ got back to you with an invite after submitting your supplemental application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valent Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 @centosan I submitted my supplemental early July. My CASPA was submitted and mailed in June, however was missing one reference and wasn't complete in its entirety until mid August. I received an interview invitation last week.

PANY2013 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Hey, I received an invite to an interview but in the email they didn't give me a specific date they just said it will be in November and they will notify me with more details in the next few weeks. Did anybody else get this email or did they give you an exact date right away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PANY2013 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 AH nevermind! The email with the specific date and time was in my spam folder! So everyone keep an eye out for emails in your spam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laineyb28 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 How weird. I got the same email about it being sometime in November, but I don't see anything in my spam folder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centosan Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Seems like they sent out their invites for November already. I still haven't gotten word ever since submitting the supplemental. Last I received word from them was on 9/24 confirming receipt of my supplemental. I guess it's a longer waiting game than I thought... I'll have to call them monday and see what's happening exactly.

Laineyb28 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I wouldn't worry yet, I sent out my supplemental the same week as you centosan and I got an email this morning about an interview in November. Unfortunately they offered me Nov 26 and that weekend it is ~$1000 to fly from LA to NJ because of Thanksgiving, so I gave up my spot. I am now on the list for when they email out invitations for December, and they told me they interview all the way until the end of Feb and leave some seats open to give everyone a fair chance.... so you still have lots of time! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deseablev Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I received an invite on Friday for a November interview. Super pumped! But I also have not received information on the exact date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually didn't know they're interviewing all the way into February. That's pretty cool. Plus giving everyone a fair chance too! Some schools don't do that. They do rolling admissions so if all spots get filled by november, all the december interviews get wait-listed. I'll keep checking my email and junk mail (dunno why but it goes there sometimes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahache77 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 JcDeal.. I graduated in 2011 from Manhattan College Overall gpa 3.56 Science gpa 3.5 Healthcare experience: lots of shadowing/interning with MDs, DOs and PAs in NYC during undergrad Medical assistant and ophthalmic technician in the years since having graduated as for the interview..it was very laid back, the faculty is extremely personable and really wants you to feel comfortable and they are not going to intimidate you intentionally. The morning began with a tour, financial aid session and program overview followed by a simple ethical writing sample. Interview questions were geared towards your specific application and my advice is not to rehearse answers but to be able to readily call up experiences you've had being overwhelmed, being successful, working with pts, demonstrating leadership skills etc. definitely know what u wrote in ur caspa application and be ready and excited to tell the interviewers about it. They really do want to hear your story and personally I did not feel rushed or pressured at all. I enjoyed the interview as it was more like a friendly conversation. Nothing to be worried about! Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deseablev Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Laineyb28 or anyone else who received an interview about an interview in November... have they notified you of the exact date yet? They still haven't told me and tomorrow will be a week since the invite. I'm anxiously to know when it will be lol. And thanks for the input and help everyone!

southstar347 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Interviewing November 15th!! See anyone interviewing there that day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deseablev Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Has anyone else not be notified of the exact date yet for their interview? Sorry to ask again but I'm not sure what to think about the fact that they offered the invite 11 days again saying it would be in November, and it's about to be November and I still haven't gotten the exact date.

vnc15 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Has anyone else not be notified of the exact date yet for their interview? Sorry to ask again but I'm not sure what to think about the fact that they offered the invite 11 days again saying it would be in November, and it's about to be November and I still haven't gotten the exact date. Don't think on it too much... just call the program and ask? It seems like a logical question to have, especially if other people have already been notified about interview dates at the very end of November.

Laineyb28 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 desablev, I would just call them to follow up. Don't know what's going on in NJ with the hurricane having passed but it may not mean anything, they are probably trying to fill slots and will get to you soon. centosan, yeah I was surprised too when I heard about their interview process but it seems like they don't let seats fill up so that they can give everyone a chance to come and interview, which is really good news so I wouldn't worry but I know the waiting is so hard!

deseablev Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Thanks to those who responded to me. I can't help that this whole process makes me impatient lol. I am now scheduled for the November 26th interview! Does anyone know if it's an interview with one individual? Or an interview with several faculty at once?
