Hey, to those that have been accepted, have you received anything in the mail other than the acceptance card? Anything about financial aid?
I decided to cancel my interview on 2/18. I hope that one of you all gets invited in my place.
I GOT THE CALL YESSS!!!! I just interviewed last Friday. Not even a whole week later I'm in! Good luck to you all!
Just got a waitlist list. Seem to be happening a lot.
High Priority or not?
Bam, rejected just now.
Is it supposed to make me feel better that they booted me after a thorough evaluation of my credentials?
Booo, Jeff.

pre or post-interview?

I've been accepted and I sent in the deposit. Does that mean I can access Jeffmail too?
Me, too. Pre-interview - wow, that took a looooong time.
sorri to hear =/ was it via email? or mail?
I'm sure there are still spots left. Congrats, you made a HUGE cut by getting an interview. Jefferson is extremely stingy with their invites.
I also just got an invite! I'm really excited. Do you know what percentage of the people who interview get accepted?
Also, is it difficult to reschedule an interview?
And if my interview is scheduled for mid-march or late march, am I basically interviewing for a waitlist spot?
I spoke to the director of admissions today and she said they sent out the first batch of rejections this week. She made it sound like they went out snail mail but based on this forum maybe not.
So I got an invite for March, but i might have to change my interview by a few weeks (possibly even to April). How much will this hurt me with Jefferson's rolling admissions? Would I be interviewing for a waitlist position at that point?
when were you complete ej37. jefferson gives out interviews in accordance with when you were complete. i think if you were complete relatively early in the season your chances are really bleak. and jeff is infamous for lack of correspondance so i doubt they even read it. i'm sorry. what other schools have you applied to, maybe you should look to other schools.
I was complete in July and just got an invite Thursday night. I'm not going to go though because it's late in the season for me and I've already narrowed down schools. So they're still reviewing apps from the beginning of the process.
oh really ... weird. congrats on making your decision sidealexis, where are you going?
Can I have your spot?
LOL. Narrowed down...I'm either going to be in NC or DC. Holding out for two more decisions.
So I have an interview at Jefferson coming up soon, and I will be traveling from California. I have two questions, and sorry if they've been covered before in the thread:
1. How does one get from the airport to Jefferson and back?
2. The interview day is over at 4, the last flight back to CA is at 5:40, so I'm clearly not going to make it. Will they let me stay another night with a student host, so I can get a morning flight the following day?
Thank you!
1. check out mapquest
2. why not call the school and ask them

Looks like no one has helped you out yet. I'll give it a shot.

From PHL airport, take the SEPTA R1 rail (rail is right outside airport terminals...ask an employee if you get lost...and purchase ticket on board the train), get off at Market East Station ( http://www.septa.org/maps/click_map/market_east.html).
You should now be at 12th & Filbert Streets....just head South/East and you should be at Jefferson within 15 minutes on foot (http://www.mapquest.com/maps?name=J...ngitude=-75.158514&geocode=ADDRESS&id=2311927)
It's really simple and you won't get lost if you have a map/direction printed out ahead of time. Just reverse the route I've outlined if you want to go back to the airport for your return flight.
As for the interview day, I checked my interview agenda and it was officially over at 3PM. From 3-4PM, you have cookie hour where you can chat with the dean and current med students, but it's not mandatory and quite a few people left at 3PM (or even before if their faculty interview was done early). The R1 train comes about once every 30 minutes (the time schedule/arrival will be visible in Market East Station). So let's say you get out by 3PM, you can catch the 3:30PM R1 train, and it'll take 30 minutes to get to PHL. You'll have plenty of time to catch your flight since the train drops you off right next to the terminals. My flight back to California was at 6PM and I had enough time to hang out for cookie hour until 4PM and then got some Philly cheesesteaks for my host. If you have further questions, feel free to PM me. Best of luck with your interview!
Thank you so much, that was very helpful! Just one thing, I can't remember which Philly med school it is, but isn't one of them in an area that is not really safe for walking? I don't think it's Jefferson, but correct me if I'm wrong please
