The Interview

Once an application file is complete, the screening committee will review the applicant's file. If the screening committee determines that the applicant should be interviewed, the Office of Admissions notifies and formally invites the applicant for an interview via email.

The NJMS Office of Admissions makes every effort to schedule interview dates and times that are convenient to applicants. Applicants are interviewed by medical school faculty and administrators who will discuss personal and educational achievements, motivation, drive, ability, background, personality, long term goals and extracurricular activities. Interviews vary in length but generally last about one hour.
