. Good luck to everyone else waiting today as well!
High Priority list for me
Did they email you to let you know? Also, did you interview last Wednesday or earlier than that? Thanks
Yup, an email earlier today. And I interviewed last Wednesday, 4/4.
pre-interview rejection via email
+1 finally
+3 Took them awhile X_X
+6 complete forever
+7
well now I know!
Among the Alternate List, does anyone know if DELAWARE residents are viewed differently than non-Delware residents? For example, could their priority level possibly be a bit higher than non-DE residents who are also on the Alternate List?
Since Jeff is DE's 'in-state' med school, I thought (and hoped!) that perhaps a DE resident may have a better chance of getting accepted from the Alternate List than people from outside DE.
Any insight/speculation on this? Any input is much appreciated!

Has anyone heard anything today? Do you know if adcom met today?
Is anyone from 3/21 interview still waiting to hear back?

At my interview day, IIRC, Dr. Callahan said the adcom would not be meeting today. Next Wednesday will be their last meeting for those that have interview and have not yet heard back.
for what it's worth, I know 2 people who were on the HP waitlist last year. One was a DE resident one was not. The non-DE resident got an acceptance, the DE resident did not. That in itself doesn't mean anything but I'd figure you'd still like to know. I can't comment on the strength of the 2 applications except to say that they both were pretty darn good.
So, this is just my guess. They might have a certain number of seats saved for DE residents. So, if a DE resident withdraws, they try to fill that seat with another DE resident. If a non-DE resident withdraws, they fill that seat with a non-DE resident. I know some schools use that methods for residents and non-residents, so I speculate that Jefferson might do something similar.
They have an agreement with Delaware to reserve 20 seats. It's the luck of the draw whether or not some of the Delaware residents withdraw.
I just got the acceptance call about an hour and half ago. Interviewed 4/4.
Also got the call! Interviewed 4/11.
Ohai, Jefferson!
I'm writing to let you know that a few of us in the pre-allopathic school specific discussions thread were talking, and we think it would be a really wise choice to let just a few people in off of the high priority list right abooooooout now. You are a wonderful school, and we really appreciate all of the attention we received on interview day, and we are totally into you.
Now please let us in.

you never cease to crack me up.
I've been looking for you (and calling out for you) in the c/o 2016 thread. WHERE YOU AT, BRO.
All exams are on Friday except during the Neuro block where you have an exam every Monday. Exams are usually every 3-4 weeks.
For instance, for first year, we had 4 exams during anatomy, 3 exams during MCBM, and 4 exams for physio/histo. Anatomy and MCBM also have quizzes in between exams. For second year, you do only have one exam each block once you start the organ systems. You have to pass every block exam to pass the course.
Then, you have ICM (basically Doctoring 101) exams in between those. They are generally very easy, and people just cram the night/hours before. No real studying for these.
EDIT: http://www.jefferson.edu/jmc/admissions/Academic_Calendar.cfm You can see the exam schedule for first year here.

Actually, they did away with the quizzes in anatomy for us this year. We only had four written exams, and four practicals. I've heard that they're even considering having the written and practical on Thursday and Friday, but I'm not sure if that will be the case for the M1's in August.
I was told at my interview that the changes they made for anatomy this year really didn't work so well and they had several people fail as a result, so maybe the quizzes will make a return for next year?
Interesting. I didn't know that.
The quizzes do help some people, but they didn't count for that much toward the final grade if I remember correctly.

Thank you and sure!

I sent a letter of recommendation from my volunteering experience right after I was put on the wait list, and then sent a letter of intent about a month after that. Hope this helps!
