Yes do it

 

[coin22]

wear a mask when you can, you can def eat outside (there’s lots of benches near the library) and if you’re super worried, just done volunteer for like a week and test a few times.

this is just advice from someone who works adjacent to the jeff area so idk how the interview is


ps i am pretty sure masking is mandatory for jeff clinical staff again so i don’t think it will be weird if you wear a mask. you could even relate it to your volunteer work (“i’m being extra cautious because i work with kids that are immunocompromised”)

 

[Delawarean]

good advice thanks!

fair warning the interview has a group lunch inside a restaurant. maybe you'd be able to eat it outside but it's buffet style. if you are still concerned I'd email admissions

 

[backend2020]

Accepted students facebook group/group me?

 

[NavyGuy]

When do people usually hear back after ii?

Anywhere from 2-6 weeks. Mine was exactly 6 weeks

Hi everyone! This may be a silly question, but this is my first in person interview so here it goes- I'm interviewing this week and am concerned about footwear with the weather in Philly rn. I would typically wear heels, but am cooncerned about walking outside in the snow/cold. Should I bring a different pair of shoes in a purse and change? Not sure what the etiquette is for this... Thanks!

 

[Sampats]

Anyone familiar with the ED process at Jefferson? Was thinking of applying through the ED process this upcoming cycle.

 

[girlonamission11]

Is anyone's portal for the 1/24 interview updated? also, for girls, what is the fit that everyone is going with?

 

[hjr_helppppp]

[Delawarean]

HPWL second year in a row.... Jefferson as top choice school second year in a row and my hopes are dashed I moved to Philly partially for this school.

 

[bumblebee123456789]

Anyone know when the admitted students facebook group comes out?

also wondering this

 

[bumblebee123456789]

the attestation and acceptance of admission offer is non binding, right?

 

[rkprkp]

A today! Interviewed 12/13.

when did you get the Call?

 

[Stuaccount]

the attestation and acceptance of admission offer is non binding, right?

Yes, I believe it says so in your acceptance email.

 

[bumblebee123456789]

Yes, I believe it says so in your acceptance email.

it doesnt specifically state that about the attestation but i think im overthinking

 

[EndlessWater]

when did you get the Call?

Sorry, just saw this. Call was around 12:30 PST

+1

I guess we’re still under consideration since SKMC sends out pre-ii Rs, but waiting this long definitely doesn’t help my confidence in getting an ii lol

 

[tiptonlondon]

For those that already interviewed, what advice do you have? This is my first in person interview and I don’t know what to expect.

Honestly, don't be stressed. They do a great job of making you feel comfortable and lead you through the day very well. They do provide lunch at a great Italian restaurant. Be friendly and get to know the other applicants; that was probably the biggest + of an in-person interview. If you have specific questions just PM me.

 

[calcuttaho]

I’m also in Philly… is anyone with complete silence located outside of Philly?

Other than UPenn I think Jefferson has the lowest IS II% rate of the schools in PA according to MSAR. It’s still higher than the OOS rate but is def low compared to other schools

 

[Cards2002]

Looked at last year’s thread and if this year’s cycle follows then there’s another ii wave or 2 to go. For anyone else waiting there’s still *some* hope for us lol

That’s true but I think it has to do with Jeff interviews in person.

It’s possible that they think out of state students are less likely to fly out after they get any acceptances, so they’re interviewing them first.

 

[ValPak00per]

being a PA resident sucks lmao

 

[backend2020]

Accepted students facebook group/group me?

Just bringing this back to the top

 

[bumblebee123456789]

Just bringing this back to the top

can someone make a groupme lol

 

[signomiii]

This might be wrong but I thought Jefferson considers Delaware residents to be IS not PA?

Not sure how MSAR counts it but they def have strong bias for Delaware residents

 

[calmandrain]

Is anyone's portal for the 1/24 interview updated? also, for girls, what is the fit that everyone is going with?

What do you mean by updated?

 

[calmandrain]

From reading the thread it seems like interview day is really relaxed here. Did any of the faculty interviewers throw any curveball questions? What is the best way to prepare? Just standard interview questions?

 

[calmandrain]

Also for those who interviewed, did you ask your student and faculty interviewers for their email to send a thank you note?

 

[microlil88]

My student gave me hers without me asking. I was able to look up my faculty easily, but I think it would be okay to ask if you'd prefer to do it that way.

 

[Sandman23]

Jeff's curriculum is lit - one of the best I've seen. Would love the chance to interview. How far out have ppl been scheduled for interview?

 

[blue.side]

pre-II R. complete in September

 

[deleted1124957]

[jimmytherockstar]

Also for those who interviewed, did you ask your student and faculty interviewers for their email to send a thank you note?

You can email admissions for your interviewers emails too!

 

[blue.side]

Just now?

yes

 

[purdey]

Does Jeff accept pre-II updates

 

[sparky21]

Does Jeff accept pre-II updates

Yes you can email them to the admissions office!

 

[vAbe's]

OOS Pre-II R, Complete 11/1

 

[calmandrain]

Did any accepted students here send them a letter of interest (not intent) shortly after their interview? Would it increase my chances of acceptance post II?

 

[mdcomingsoon]

for accepted students, Do you guys get the access blocked error when you try to access the student portal and canvas etc

yes they said this is fine though like we shouldn't have access yet
