Perfect- XPN music fest is the weekend before orientation- what an excellent last weekend of freedom

Congrats!! Alt list or HP list?
Congrats. Were you on the high priority wait list or the regular? Were you born in 1983? If so, that would make you an older non-traditional applicant like myself. Are you going to accept the offer?
I was on the HP list. And no I was not born in 1983 haha. Deciding between another school and Jeff right now.
Sorry thought the 83 referenced your birth year. What's the other school? I hope this doesn't make me sound like a jerk, but I'm kind of hoping you go with the other school. I'm on the Jeff HP list and it seems like it's my only hope at this point. I was on 5 wait lists and not a single one moved an inch except for Jefferson.
Seconded haha
So, for the student health form, we have a doctor fill it out, we input the information on the online data bank, and we also send in the actual form to the Jefferson health office (or somewhere else)?
This process is a little confusing...

I have no idea- seeing my doctor Friday to get everything done. Why we have to subscribe to a $25 service just to submit the form is beyond me.
The directions are so horribly vague. Ugh.
EDIT: This explains things much better... http://www.jeffersonhospital.org/de...~/media/87a4af264ce740c686154780a591678b.ashx

I got a call two weeks ago saying I would get a letter in the mail. No letter. :-/
Not for me amigo.
Same question as yesterday! Anything yet?
I'm sure people would post here if they got off...
Out of curiosity, did they send you an email about this stuff or did you just come across the prematriculation requirements on your own?
I don't recall receiving an email. Someone passed the link with the matriculation requirements on to me.
EDIT: Here is is... http://www.jefferson.edu/content/tju/jmc/admissions/apply/matriculation.html
I never received any sort of notification about pre-matriculation requirements. I found out about it by searching through the website. I suspect that they just leave it for you to find on your own.
There's a link with requirements in the preliminary academic calendar email. The link was dead though...... Lol.
Nope still hoping. Anyone else out there still on the HP list? Maybe we're the only 2 left haha

Yes I second that! Definitely want to know if there is any possibility of getting off it...really not trying to start my primary again but that's what it's looking like
I don't think we will ever know. They don't release that information. Honestly, I'm beginning to think that the high priority alternate list is not as prestigious as I thought it was. It seems like everyone is on the HP list. I have yet to meet anyone on the regular wait list. Is that posible?
my thoughts exactly...what is a high-priority waitlist worth if like 100-200 people are on it?
I figured getting high priority meant that I had a decent chance of hearing back from them about an acceptance?
As did I. Something tells me that it is much more of a gimmick than an actual high priority. I'm getting a little nervous. There doesn't seem to be any more movement.
I'm on the alt. list :/
+1, there was even movement off the alt list this time last year.
Ok. I stand corrected. Sorry buddy. Yeah I don't really know what is going on I guess.
You should not measure waitlist movement by what you see posted on SDN. In reality, only a small percentage of medical school applicants even belong to SDN, and not all who do post on the site. Absent calling the admissions office and asking, which is unlikely to elicit an informative response, you have no real way of knowing. You just have to be patient, email Dr. Callahan periodically about your continued strong interest in attending Jeff, and keep your fingers crossed. Good luck!
Agreed, and i doubt obsessively checking as tempting as it may be is going to help any of us at this point. What will be will be. (Not that it's going to stop me or anyone haha)
Could not agree more. Many med students i know have no idea about SDN so the percentage of movement around here, while discouraging should not be considered the overall norm.

No drug test in order to matriculate. Drug test is only done before pediatrics rotation in third year or any rotation down at DuPont.
There's no mention of a drug test on the matriculation page, so I'd assume no... At least as far as matriculation goes. It might be a different story later on?
Also if you are getting a stipend for research/work study for the summer after M1 you get drug tested.
