Med Scholars decision is March 1. Presidential Scholarship requires interview, so will most likely find out about interview in Jan or Feb.

Yes. It was full tuition + room and board (including a meal plan) + guaranteed entry to the honors college

Anyone else received Rutgers/NJMS interview requests ? we are waiting for ours :frowning:

Any idea on the number breakdown of Rutgers/NJMS ?

No… We are waiting for the Rutgers Newark/NJMS II too

NJIT/NJMS interview invites are most likely done and TCNJ/NJMS are in-process.
Temple/LKSOM interview will be in probably on Feb 12,2021 based on past schedule (2 nd Friday in Feb). This program has an interview with LKSOM in junior year ( for both 3+4 and 4+4 BSMD routes ) after one has met all the requirements related to GPA( probably > 3.6 both science and cumulative) and no grade below B- in any course at Temple. One has to take CASPer test and MCAT (min total and min in each section required) before a final determination to matriculate into LKSOM is given. There are usually 4-8 students in the program. It seems that probably all have matriculated to LKSOM in this year batch. If you want to apply outside, you loose your provisional seat at LKSOM.

They will be released between the 16th and 18th

Are you sure they are done for NJIT/NJMS? Can anyone else chime in on this. Earlier someone said the getting the interview with NJIT Honors was very stats heavy and I have a 1570 and 4.00UW gpa (and meet at least the basics for everything else such as essays and ecs)

Call NJIT honors and confirm it. There are no guarantees in BSMD selection process.

Will do. Thank you for your assistance!

got a letter from pitt gap this past weekend but haven’t received an email since… anyone else in the same boat?

i havent gotten an email either.

i interviewed on one of the last days. last tuesday i think was the last day of interviews, according to my interviewer

Aww okay, I guess I didn’t make it

NJIT honors selections are not completed yet (per the admission staff) .We are waiting for the interview as well.

My D is applying to Stony Brook. Can any one please suggest which of the two honors program is a better choice at Stony Brook if you want to get into their BS/MD:
WISE program OR University Scholars program?
