I read somewhere that Jefferson AVERAGES your MCAT scores? Is this true?

What was the highlight of your experience in medical school the first year? second year? third year? and fourth year?
How is the surrounding area in philadelphia? My PI did his post doc in Philadelphia and says the meaningless violence amongst the surrounding community can get out of hand at times. How true is this? does it affect you as a student?
Anywho, sorry for the long message but, as you can tell, Philly has gotten into my blood. I'd say that everyone I've talked to is loving it so far. Granted, we're only a few weeks in, but I don't think too much will change going forward. There are some faults that are expected with a major city, i.e. expensive and ticket-happy parking, but the positives outweigh things like that. Feel free to leave any specific questions, there are students who still peek in here every once in awhile. Good luck on those apps/interviews!
I have never been to Philadelphia and actually decided to explore the city a bit, so I plan on having a full day dedicated to being a tourist and exploring the surroundings. What about you?
For people who have gotten interview invites, what are you guys doing as far as staying in Philadelphia? It seems like JMC is in a very expensive area, and all the hotels around there are very expensive.
that seemed to happen when i was typing an essay into the "additional info" field. i asked the admissions office and they told me to email them a document that includes my "additional info" and separately submit the app with the essay field blank. it worked for me!
"decision pending" limbo forever now.
^^ +3
+5 aaaaaaaahhh!
Ive been decision pending since June 23rd. Anyone else been decision pending for that long?
very excited - seems like they have a well-planned, eventful day for interviewers.
Invite!
email or status check?
congrats!
Congrats Leo!
Thanks Snow! Is Jefferson already one of your significant others?
I have been pending since I completed everything on June 27th. It is better than a reject, but I hope I do not stay in limbo all application cycle.

Jeff does silent rejections, right? Meaning that a lot of people will be in limbo the entire cycle, until admissions finish interviews.

Status changed from Decision to Pending to Interview Decision Pending. I don't know if that's good or bad (I'm guessing bad) but at least it changed to something and I know my app hasn't just been sitting there.
yea i actually think that's a good sign maybe? unlike my "decision pending" for the past two months..
dang it, you guys got my hopes up! Still decision pending...

I've been at "Interview Decision Pending" from "Decision Pending" for a long time...definitely at least a week and a half. This is kind of leading me to believe its a "we looked at your application already and we'll consider you more seriously later," type thing. Could be wrong...hopefully.Haha, sorry! I have no idea what the switch means, though.

They changed mine FROM Interview Status Pending to Decision Pending. What do you think THAT means? Happen to anyone else?
