EDIT: just kidding, here we go!

Appless · Jun 8, 2009

Woot jefferson ! 🙂. Another school i know nothing about but just applied, i guess thats what interview days are for lol

BlueElmo · Jun 8, 2009

Sad, where's mine??

Also I love your dachshund (and really all dachshunds)... I have a smooth red too!!

PlaceboEffect · Jul 1, 2009

They ask for SAT scores? They also only give space for Verbal and Math. When I took the SAT there were 3 sections..

neuromcdoctor · Jul 1, 2009

Do you think it is bad if I don't fill out the optional section?

BlueElmo · Jul 1, 2009

Got my email.

Dantheman52188 · Jul 1, 2009

Yeah idk about the optional section either...it isn't asking anything specific so I wonder what they would possibly be looking for. Anyone have any thoughts?

neuromcdoctor · Jul 1, 2009

the section is only 500 characters so they would only be looking for a really small statement so maybe they are looking for reasons for poor grades etc.

secants · Jul 1, 2009

haha wow nearly the whole page is blank because I have no connection to the school and I don't really know what they are looking for in the optional section either. Anyone else feeling the same way?

lofallve66 · Jul 1, 2009

this is only if you did an early acceptance program through your undergrad, right?

mocha blanca · Jul 1, 2009

i took the SAT twice. first time, got a higher math score than the second, but got a higher verbal score the second time. do i put the highest of each section, or the most recent scores?

lofallve66 · Jul 1, 2009

same boat. i put my highest score in each section

Surgeon44 · Jul 1, 2009

my "secondary" is also rather blank so same boat

ummm do you have to put sat scores...i dont know and i dont think its easy to find out...not to mention they are realllllllllly bad as i took the test blindly and i didnt even go to college after hs....

zebalong · Jul 1, 2009

k.. how come i cant find the link to the secondary application to put in my id and pw.. can someone post it

trueBelief · Jul 1, 2009

same here.

ProtonatedAlchy · Jul 1, 2009

it says in the secondary you have to go to the admissions tab to find the online link.

so no essays i guess?

Caesar · Jul 1, 2009

Yeah, no idea what to put, and no connection to the school at all....

$80 and a nearly blank form.

Might fill in the 500 place with why I am interested in the school since I have no connection to the area and obviously that is important to them.

ek1099 · Jul 1, 2009

short and simple. nice!

SAT scores were completely random. then again... my college's pre-med committee also asked for them. i wonder why it matters.

Caesar · Jul 1, 2009

Oh and I didn't take the SAT (midwest takes ACT) so that will be left blank unless they want ACT.

thanks! technically its a picture of another dachshund, but it looks just like mine except a little skinnier. i actually have two wiener dogs, the other is its sibling, a black and tan...ahem....yeah so anyway...how about that jefferson med school huh?

NeuroChaos · Jul 1, 2009

Any ideas on use of those 500 chars.??

drwham · Jul 1, 2009

i am having trouble with this secondary. where is this "apply online" button on the link given?!

trueBelief · Jul 1, 2009

top right of the page. So is everyone leaving the optional one out? I really don't know what they would want from it.

zebalong · Jul 1, 2009

i feel so freakin challenged right now... on the top right of my page all i see is

Employment | Contact Us | Search | News

under that is the search bar

under that is the college of health science navi.

under that is nothing...

sigh where is this magic "apply online" button

stayclassy · Jul 1, 2009

My (new) stepfather went to Jefferson... do you think I should put this under the relative section?

Caesar · Jul 1, 2009

stayclassy · Jul 1, 2009

Right under where it says JMC Admissions. It's in a box with a picture of a mouse.

It's right above the picture of the building.

I'm using the additional information box to explain why they won't be getting a Physics LOR from me.

i know...i am trying to do chicago's secondary right now and was so happy to be done with jefferson so quickly!

trueBelief · Jul 1, 2009

Chicago's secondary is so tough compared to this one.

I agree with Bacchus. Last time I applied Jefferson was out of touch and did not mark me as complete for a month after every other school did. I finally called and told the guy my name, he put me on hold, came back on the line 10 min later and said everything's in my file and that he'll mark me as complete.

In this game when y'all are freaking out about days or weeks, a month obviously makes a difference.

Appless · Jul 1, 2009

Also if you look at last years thread, youll see a lot of people sent frequent update letters and such and often ended up off the waitlist/accepted. I think jeff is one of those schools that wants a lot of contact (but not too much to be annoying) to show interest. Though im sure bacchus will clarify 🙂

slate123321 · Jul 1, 2009

If you don't have anything to update, is there anything else you can send instead? Maybe a please accept me letter? lol.
