***Official Thread for 2016 BSMD applicants***

@Solar7Flare, I sent my application by November 1st, not October 15th, so they sent me an email today telling me interview notifications will come in late January

@Solar7Flare I am still waiting on UMKC ugh

D got interview from Albany (finally!), its on Jan 29th 8am, this is the first real one 
 hope more will follow :slight_smile:

Does anyone happen to know approximately/historically when PPSP interviews are? I’ve searched past threads and am having a hard time finding that info

They said Feb 1 on their website

@jumbletumbles @dudefromnowhere Just to clarify–the interviews themselves are not on Feb. 1st, but that’s the day they notify you whether you will be getting a PPSP interview! The final PPSP decision is April 1st, so the interviews must be some time in March.


though, looking at the statistics for PPSP
 I’m not too hopeful!! ;u;

Thank you @dudefromnowhere @agirlinasweater
I was actually asking if anyone might know when the actual interview dates historically offered were.
I have a professional conference I really should attend at the end of Feb which requires registration now. Obviously, if my son is fortunate enough to be invited to interview for PPSP, I would not attend my conference but go along with him. Driving in Cleveland smack in the middle of winter
 However if PPSP interviews historically are held in March, I’m willing to go ahead register for my own conference because it’s likely ‘safe’ I won’t be loosing hundreds of $ on my registration fees.
This whole college admission gauntlet is rough on parents’ schedules & wallets too! Lol

How many people were accepted to Drexel through Rosemont last year?

@jumbletumbles My Best Guess From Last Years’ Thread And CALCULATED guestimation- case interview dates will be likely on 03/17 and 03/18. Use your own judgement for your business needs.

@sss0296 Did You Send Ur Rosemont Drexel secondary Application yet? Did u send it by snail mail?

@Dadofhskid Thank you! I dug some more & found a similar timeframe from an old thread as well as calculating backwards from another thread. Unless they change up how they’re doing things, it does appear to be sometime in March.

Not yet @ymehkri.

I’m currently a junior, and I want to apply to a majority of these problems, so I was wondering, if someone could post some of their stats so that I know how realistic it is for me to get in.

@anjana1399 There is no black and white differentiation when it comes to this as all admissions are holistic. If you ACT is 33+ or SAT is 2200+ and GPA is near perfect, you should be a strong candidate. Note that most applicants have these stats. Since the process is holistic, your research, medical experience, extracurriculars etc
 Is vital.

a dumb question to ask at this point but
do most of these programs superscore the SAT?

@jsingh1997, that is not even close to being true in terms of ACT, SAT, and GPA. That’s just the College Confidential bubble, where it just feels like everyone has those stats.

@anjana1399 I guess it really depends on where you’re applying. For some a 2050+/32/3.7 might work while at others you’ll need near perfect scores and GPA. Just make sure you have a good amount of EC’S (research, shadowing, hospital volunteering, EMT, etc.) because that’s what shows the admissions committee that you truly understand what you’re getting yourself into by applying to a combined program.

Is TCNJ done with all their interviews ? we never heard from them one way or the other.

@NJTDad Had called them on 23rd Dec and they said the group which handles it were gone for the holidays, they can be contacted after Jan 1 
 if that helps :slight_smile:
