RPI/Albany program is one of the oldest BS/MD program in the country. It has produced many well known physician scientists, such as Dr. Jeffrey Friedman, the discoverer of Leptin and Dr. Gary Gottlieb, president of Harvardâs Brigham and Womenâs Hospital. Most of the students who successfully complete the BS/MD program do well in terms of residency placements. Many of students in the program turn down Ivies and other quality colleges to attend this program and eventually receive a MD degree with distinction in research. Almost all students receive merit scholarships in the program, ranging from $15K to $25K annually for three years. You have to remember that maintaining 3.5 for each semester at RPI does require consistent effort since this school is known for grade deflation.
@parentofs For GWU/GWU program, only 28 students were invited for the interview out of 700 applicants. 5 students eventually enrolled in the program.
@parentofs If I have to guess the logic behind selecting 28 interviewees by the âadcom,â perhaps demonstrated interest might play role here. Good Luck!
Has anyone gotten anything from NJIT-NJMS for their 7 year program besides the letter saying that the application was forwarded to the med schools?
@Fischerdude97 this was for Rutgers-Newark/NJMS.
Iâm on my phone so I canât post all my stats right now, but Iâll give you some of the relevant info:
SAT (CR+M): 1520
LOR: good (i think)
Essays: good
ECâs: president of a school club, 150+ hours hospital volunteering, 100+ hours other community service, physician shadowing over the summer
@luceatluxvestraâ Wow you got an interview already? When did you receive your supplemental? I submitted mine a bit more than a month ago.
Waiting eagerly for some type of response from AMC!!!
Btw, does anyone know when TCNJ begins contacting applicants? I applied a longg time ago and I was just wondering when they begin their UG interviewing?
@upstream . Thx. I like GW/GW 28 invites. This way not many will get disappointed after spent their time. money, effort for making the trip to GW interview. Thanks to GW for inviting lower #s instead of larger pool.
@shyamalee Iâm a current senior, and I received the RPI Medal in my junior year. I applied to RPI/AMC program. If admitted, I am guaranteed $15K per year at RPI, totaling $45K.
@jb9832 I am a senior and I applied to Stevens/NJMS program. I had my interview in the beginning of December. You need to go on the Stevenâs website and schedule it yourself.
Also, something you may want to know that I found out during my interview- acceptance to NJMS is not guaranteed through Stevens. They forward on all students who complete the Stevens requirements, but not all are accepted into NJMS.
@peanut7 I was told the same thing during my Stevens interivew⊠but do you think that the interviewers might be a little incorrect or unaware? It says nowhere online, on Stevensâ page nor NJMS, that it isnât a guarantee program.
just received phone interview for TCNJ/NJMS through call and confirmation email.
@FischerDude97â I hope we do see each other there, that would be great!! I had my NJIT interview over the phone in Nov, and I recently got a letter from NJIT a few weeks ago saying that my file had been forwarded to NJMS. I believe interviews are in March, and weâll probably schedule them in Feb.
Here are my stats:
Ethnicity and Gender: Indian female
Location: NY
Class rank: 15/360 (competitive public high school)
Weighted GPA: 4.09
SAT:
Math: 700, CR: 770, Writing: 730, Total: 2200 (single sitting, superscored)
ACT:
33, composite, took it two times. However, it is a 34 superscored
SAT Subject Tests:
Math II: 730
Biology: 680
World History: 770
AP Scores:
5 on us history, Lang,
4 on world history, stats, bio
Senior year AP schedule:
Physics I, Calc AB, Literature, European History, Art History, spanish
ECâs: definitely my strong suit, TONS of involvement in clubs, major leadership positions in most, several honor societies, genetic research, mentoring programs, science O, offered free tutoring, etc.
Hooks: I have spent a very large portion of time dedicated towards research at a prestigious medical school, entered in Intel, siemens, etc. Also, I have a part-time job working as a tutor at an educational center for young children. I was able to talk about both of these things in a lot of supplement essays, which clearly demonstrated my passion
While I may not have AMAZING scores, I believe I am a strong writer and I have an exceptional resume. Plus, my letters of rec were wonderful
@âfaymer Im not sure because I canât find anything saying that either. I want to call and find out more since itâs one of my top schools, but Iâm not even sure who I would ask to talk to
@jalebi2187â u seem like a very competitive applicant. Good luck! Its lucky u r from NY. Iâm from TX so SBU is pretty far from me. I think we should know in early Feb if we have been invited for the interview at GWU and by early March if weâve been accepted.
I donât know if any of you will know the answer to this probably common question, but if I applied to multiple programs associated with NJMS (I did Rutgers, Stevens, TCNJ, and NJIT), and I get called for interviews with NJMS, is there one interview for all? Like for example, I found out that my file was forwarded to NJMS by NJIT. If they schedule me an interview with NJMS, will I get any more interviews at all regardless of my caliber with any of the other schools? Or would they use the one interview? It would seem a bit strange to have an interview with the same group of people more than once.
@valarmorghulisâ Thank you! Yeah I think Iâll do the same. 
@OGBaller5â Is your interview with NJMS or just with Rutgers?
@FischerDude97â I havenât personally received anything other than the letter saying that my file was forwarded.
@faymerâ I just got a call today from TCNJ about a 7 year med interview today. Iâm sure youâll hear back soon!
@peanut7â I scheduled an interview today, thanks! Also, about RPI, do you think that Rensselaer Medalists get priority in the RPI/AMC admissions?
@faymerâ @peanut7â About how not everyone is accepted to NJMS from Stevens, Iâm assuming that not everyone that applies to the program will be admitted? Or is that their way of saying that it really isnât a 7 year med program, but just a program that has strong ties with NJMS and will recommend their undergrads to NJMS should they âdeserveâ it?
@hopefulbsmdâ I got a call from TCNJ too! My interview is actually this Wednesday. Whenâs yours?
@FischerDude97â Thanks so much, you seem like a very competitive one yourself! Wow, I canât believe youâre flying in all the way from Texas! Did you get invited to interview with GW through the GW/GW program? Unfortunately, I didnât
and Iâm wondering if maybe that was because I also applied to SBU/GW? Did that have anything to do with it?
Has anyone heard anything from UCONN??
UAB EMSAP interview notifications have gone out. Our director has invited 36 people for our Early Medical School Acceptance Program and 2 for our Early Dental School Acceptance Program. There were about 200 applications, so it was a competitive year for our EMSAP program. The average ACT score was 33.
