Does anyone know how soon after the 5/15 deadline Jefferson starts pooling people off the wait list? Do they take a lot of people soon after the deadline, or will they continue to extend offers through the summer?

Some might get in a few days before the 15th even.
As you can probably imagine though, the number of people pulled from the lists = the number of people they need who dropped acceptances, so the second question is a bit impossible to answer. Like any other school, the bulk of it will probably happen at the 15th-ish, and it'll dwindle from then on.
Thanks. If I do end up getting the coveted call, how much time would I be given to make a decision?
Just got the call!! ACCEPTED!!!
Congrats, just now? When did you interview?
Yeah Dr. Callahan just called. I interviewed on February 20th.
No idea. I've heard a week, I've heard 24 hours. Might depend on what point in the summer it is. I accepted it right away on the phone so there was no question. She'll tell you though if you get the call. Have in your mind what you think you want though.
She didn't tell me about that, but she said the letter would be coming in a week so that will probably have more information about acceptances.
can you fill out a fafsa if you've been waitlisted places or do you have to wait until after you've been accepted?
It's recommended to do it after an interview regardless of waitlist or acceptance status.
II WOOHOO! Sent a letter of interest beginning January, was complete September
Yes, you are correct for acceptances. I was referring to people being pulled off the waitlists.
high priority waitlist for me🙁 really hope I can get off it, it's my last chance!

Congrats!
II today complete in august
What's everyone's take on the scholarship? Just got a letter in the mail regarding an award and don't know what to think of it
It's free money... Jefferson has several scholarships for disadvantaged students. Sign the form and take it.
EDIT: To look up what exactly you might have gotten it for, find the name of the scholarship here - http://www.jefferson.edu/financial_aid/publications/JMCFAHandbook2012.pdf

Haha yes I get that it's free money, and I will totally take. But I'm wondering what's a "normal" scholarship/grant amount?
Varies widely. Most people get none, so any is pretty good.

Ok - what about financial need-based grants?
Im guessing if I havent heard from them, i was silently rejected?

+2 though website still works for me (have gotten errors a few times)
fyi - called this morning and interviews are still going out, so those of us who haven't heard back yet pre-interview are still in the running.
Thanks! I was going to call today too.
Has anyone seen the 2013 match list?
I cannot seem to find the 2013 Jefferson match list. Hope someone has it!
Any 3/6 interviewees hear back yet/today?
Out of curiosity, is the high priority alternate list moving yet, did anyone get off of it? I called the office a few days ago and was told that the list was moving....seemed odd since they're not even done interviewing yet. Please let us all know, thanks!
Well... If they told you it was moving, I would assume that... It's moving...
HP waitlist email this morning :/ interviewed 3/6
HP waitlist, interviewed 2/27
Send a LOI if you want an interview here, I think they're still going out, but about to end.
Go to the FAQ page on Jefferson's Admissions website. You will be able to find a link to a PDF there under the question: "To which hospitals have recent graduates gone after graduating from JMC to begin their medical careers?"

Initially, I just had "Decision Pending" and now it says "interview Decision Pending"... either way i am sure that they are interviewing for waitlist spots this late in the cycle.
It changes back and forth but has no bearing on your chance of an interview invite that we know of. They also don't interview for waitlists.

I sent a LOI this week. Admissions responded quickly saying that I am still under review and that the letter has been added to my file. Still hoping for an interview!
sent a 3rd loi- figure it can't hurt at this point- the last reported II on sdn last year was on 3/27. . .
