2022-2023 Jefferson (Kimmel)

[KnightDoc]

For my document status page, my committee letter hasn't been received yet but my 3 individual rec letters are received. Since the application is marked complete, will they will review it before the committee letter comes in, or will they wait until all rec letters are received?

This is a danger in going above the requirements, or in sending individual letters at all when a committee letter alone is acceptable at just about all schools. Even though you have another letter coming in, you are now complete. They can review you now, or they can wait. Totally up to them.

That said, this is not worth stressing about. No LOR will get you an II you weren't getting anyway, and your committee letter will certainly be added to your file before any final decision is made post-II.

In hindsight, yes, you should have kept your additional LORs below the minimum required to be complete, if you absolutely wanted to be sure your committee letter would be considered before your file was reviewed. But there is nothing you can do about it now, other than maybe calling them and asking them to take you out of the review queue until your committee letter is received. Which they might or might not do. Again, totally up to them.

[dafluffysamoyed]

What time did y’all get your IIs? Do we know if they’re all at once today or if they’re slowly trickling them out through the day? Just wanna know if I should be neurotically checking my email during the day or if they’re done/I can live my life until the next IIs come🤪🤪

 

[charactercomic2]

And so it begins...

 

[ProteinShakeshack]

I feel like a lot of places are starting to do it again this year. Which sort of sucks for far away OOS like me

I havent seen anywhere except SKMC and maybe kaiser permanente? Where else...?

 

[orgosad]

For those with the II, did you complete all the letters of rec?

 

[Delawarean]

For those with the II, did you complete all the letters of rec?

Yes, mine was a committee letter that showed as received on 6/21 even though I wasn't verified until 6/29

Interview feedback:
Thomas Jefferson University Sidney Kimmel Medical College Interview Feedback

Hi, sorry I am new at this, so I apologize if this isn't the right way to post.
But I am trying to submit the app and I don't have ACT/SAT scores (I am out of US for college). People on this thread mention I should just leave it blank, but the system says the page is incomplete and I cannot submit the application. I checked the rest of the questions and they are all filled out, so if anyone knows what to do or has had this happen to them, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

@oaziz are you talking about submitting the AMCAS application, or the application to Jefferson?

 

[oaziz]

@oaziz are you talking about submitting the AMCAS application, or the application to Jefferson?

application to Jefferson, the secondary.

 

[dafluffysamoyed]

It seems like they give IIs on Tues & Fri so 👀👀 keeping my eyes peeled today

 

[toli]

@oaziz, already submitted mine so can't test this out, but here's what I'd do: See if it'll let you put N/A or 'Unavailable' in the boxes. If not, try 000 (or if that feels like bad luck, 999).

 

[gymoyster1580]

OOS II today at 11:30am
SS 7/7

 

[fxryker]

II received!

 

[YouShouldBeDrivingAKia]

II received!

As someone who also submitted pretty early, this gives me hope! I figured they had already looked over mine (06/29). Congrats!

 

[big_yikes_premed]

Does a new line pop up on the secondary portal when you're under review or has that always been there? Neurotic premed checking in lol

Fellow neurotic premed who is also wondering the same thing

 

[sosmedicine]

Fellow neurotic premed who is also wondering the same thing

I think yes? Can someone who hasn't completed yet confirm pleaseee?

 

[YouShouldBeDrivingAKia]

Fellow neurotic premed who is also wondering the same thing

I just compared it to Emory’s portal (uses same portal type) and there is no “under review” tab and I submitted that one recently, so I’m guessing the under review is new

 

[CaptainKirk1]

Also holding out hope as an early submitter. Received 6/24, submitted 6/25, confirmed 6/25. Hoping this Friday is the big break if they are on a Tuesday/Friday II release schedule 🙏
