the website says that interviews take place through April...if this is true, do many of us still have a good shot at getting one?!

Once you get the interview it is more about seeing past the statistics and judging you as a person!Does anyone know the post interview acceptance rate? And also once you get an interview are stats still important or are they mainly judging you as a person at that point?

did you send an update
Current MS1 here! The interview day is really chill. Just be yourself and don’t forget to stick to who you are. But also, be sure to showcase how you would fit into Jefferson and how you envision yourself there. The student interviews are also very chill so don’t worry about it! PM me if you (or anyone else) needs anything else!
So happy to be accepted here! It feels like all the work to get here paid off finally! For any current students, is the $100 deposit refundable or not and is it really not due until April without worrying about losing the spot? Or should it be put down sooner?
When did you hear back? When did you interview? Thanks!

I have multiple Jefferson MD letters on my app and the bulk of my hours/experiences have taken place at Jeff. I've spent so much time at SKMC that I saw an interview group for like the 4th time today haha. Yet, they're the only philly school (minus penn) that has not invited me to interview lol. The whole application process is such a crap-shoot
What is their high priority WL movement like?
did u interview at drexel? Wondering if i might know youHey, same here. I've been doing research here full time all year, interviewed there last year, multiple Jeff MD letters... Obviously my number 1. I pass the interview group every Wednesday morning and give them all thumbs ups through the window while I walk by lol. They're right where I wanna be. Still haven't heard anything. What a terrible process

did anyone who interviewed dec 12 recieve a decision yet?
1/3) Location and community. Center City Philadelphia is quite simply a fantastic place to live, and I was very sad to leave. Things are relatively cheap compared to other large cities, and the public transportation system is very functional. You definitely have enough time to take full advantage of the stuff to do around the city. I still refer to it as "Jeff."
2) A large class means that you can usually find a group of people you click with. It doesn't really cause problems when getting things like letters as you typically ask for them during or soon after a rotation.
4) Ortho and ophtho are our biggies.
Diversity essay is fine. Most students live within ten blocks from the school.
Jefferson has an outstanding eye institute. #2 in the United States by some metrics. More people applying to ophthy is another reason for greater numbers in addition to step scoresDo you find that Jeff’s ortho and optho numbers are solid because they set people up for STEP1 + match really well, or that Jeff students are very independently motivated to do well on STEP?

what interview date?Yes lol
Jeff interviews through April -- that's a really late cycle. Interviews are still flowing out, especially at the schools that interview as late as Jeff and as applicants withdraw from their IIs following preferred acceptances. There's no way to know whether you'll receive an interview, but there's definitely still hope if you haven't received an R (some applicants already have from SKMC). Hope this helps!Do you all feel that no contact to this point is basically a silent R? I am deciding whether or not to take organic chemistry lab this sem solely off of SKMC’s requirements but I am also doubtful I will be given an interview this late in the cycle.
Absolutely!do they still allow additional letters of rec?
Last year I was placed on the high priority waitlist and my understanding was that there was a high priority waitlist and an alternate list, which are 2 different things. I'm not sure if it's the same this year though.Does anyone know if the alternate list is the same thing as the waitlist?
