How often are scholarships given? I heard Jeff doesn't give much

IIRC, at my interview day they said merit scholarships are only given for 3rd and 4th year.

Ok, thanks. definitely turns me off from the school but I will still look into the school
 
How often should I send in update letters/LOI? I already sent one a few weeks ago and was just put on the HPWL two weeks ago. I just do not want to seem overwhelming and have that hurt my chances.
 
Does anyone know the start date for orientation?
It looks like it's started mid/late July in the past
 
Anyone know how the student interview is weighted vs the faculty? I definitely felt my student interview felt more formal than I expected. Wasn't as strong an interview either lol
 
Dear SDN,
Lightning has struck. I've also been rejected pre-II by Jefferson.

Kuzy, signing off

Is the form at the bottom of the rejection email for feedback on our applications or for info about other grad programs?
 
R today! Complete in Summer for Jeff!

Best luck to you all that will continue your med studies here (and to all you waiting), I shall be somewhere else 🙂
 
Just Accepted (Phone call at ~2:20)! Top choice, first acceptance, feel like i'm on another planet right now thanks to all on this forum who helped out so much! Interviewed two weeks ago, sent an LOI one day after interview, 3 updates pre-interview invite.
 
Are we thinking that if we weren’t accepted one week post-Interview that it’s automatically a waitlist/rejection?
 
Posted this last week too (lol) - Anybody else who interviewed 03/06 still not hear anything?
 
Hi! does anyone have details on the second look day? i saw someone posted that it'll be on the 18th of april, but does anyone know what time it starts/ends? has info for it been sent out already or are we all waiting on the details?

From what I've heard it starts at 3:30 on Thursday and 8:30 on Friday and it ends at 3:30 on Friday. I've heard it's basically more in-depth info of what you learn at the Interview. Dr. Callahan sent an email about it last month but that's all of the communication I've heard thusfar. There's a banger that they have on thursday night too. I wish I could go (already have travel plans for Easter which is that weekend), but my friend said that you won't be missing too much if you can't make it!

Replied to you last week too (lol x2) and I still haven't heard :/ Any chance we had the same interviewer and they've just been MIA? (just wishful thinking haha)
 
Wouldn't they just waitlist/reject you if they didn't like how you interviewed? I really think your interviewer just hasn't been able to attend the meeting 🙂

I interviewed this week and they said everyone who has not heard a decision will hear back on 4/17.

They are not releasing decisions on 4/10- hope that's helpful!
 
Ah, makes perfect sense. I wonder if they'll have to rush to get through all the remaining applicants on 4/17 🙁
 
I was on HPWL since October 2017 in the 2017-18 cycle.
While waiting till the end of 2017-18 cycle, for a call of acceptance (eventually rejected in July 2018), I completed Jefferson MPH LEAP in July 2018 with the highest possible OGPA.
After the rejection, I reapplied 2018-19 cycle, secondary completed 2018 August. Sent 2 updates.
Sadly, did not even interviewed in 2018-2019 !!! and finally rejected on Wednesday. Very surprised / shocked and disturbed.
(I am not sure if the Jeff. MPH LEAP did diminish my chances?)
Good luck to those who are still waiting for their results of interview.

just curious.....when you originally inquired did they say they dont give merit until years 2-4? Did they say they would have Financial Aid take a second look? Because thats the response I got when I emailed about it very recently.

I'm just a bit confused. They clearly state that no merit is available till years 2-4, which the dean reiterated in her email to me. I also have scholarships to other schools that I informed her of and she just asked Financial aid to take another look....am i missing something here?

Did you send her copies of your other offers?

Im not really sure about their policies or anything like that. I just reached out and sent copies of my other scholarships at other schools and a few days later received their merit offer. Wish I could tell you more
