hi does anyone know if jefferson wants us to include parents information in our FAFSA?

Yes they want income taxes from your parents and other info... Call Financial Aid

 

[Immunofluorescence25]

Out of curiosity, is the acceptance day this Wednesday for those who recently interviewed?

Could be or they might wait, this week is Second Look Day for those accepted

 

[NotGeneric]

We were told that they have spots saved for the people who interviewed in March/April. They wouldn't need to wait for Second Look Day if that is the case...

 

[Platypus1221]

Was recently accepted but never recieived any information about second look, anyone have the details?

Oh wow, luckily I'm in philly already so at least travel isn't a concern. Thanks for the heads up!

Anyone else as scared as I am lmao. It's either this or I'm moving to Des Moines

Oh yeah totally anxious too! Literally keeping my phone within 2 feet of me all day

Which school is in Des Moines?

 

[underqualified_applicant]

Which school is in Des Moines?

DMU

 

[yoba]

Jeff will be making all final decisions today

 

[stillunsure]

Because AMCAS’s choose your medical school tool says you can no longer hold more than 3 acceptances and some people may have withdrawn, does anyone know if there may be waitlist movement here today?

 

[Immunofluorescence25]

Do they usually call between 2-3PM?

 

[NotGeneric]

I would think they can call anytime before 5 pm

 

[underqualified_applicant]

Do they usually call between 2-3PM?

Usually, yes.

 

[tigertiger17]

Yes, but I'm going the opposite direction and trying to not obsessively check my phone (am definitely failing)

 

[NotGeneric]

Don't they just send you an email if you miss the call?

 

[underqualified_applicant]

Anyone hear anything?

 

[Immunofluorescence25]

Anyone hear anything?

nope, nothing yet

 

[NotGeneric]

Nope

 

[Immunofluorescence25]

wonder if they might just be releasing decisions later in the week

 

[introp445]

Maybe the meeting was longer since there wasn’t one last week

 

[NotGeneric]

I think introp445 might be right

They should just have an online portal and release decisions on it. This waiting for phone calls is way too stressful.

Or maybe we are all doomed.....

 

[Immunofluorescence25]

Could be...

 

[NotGeneric]

Very possible. My phone was unreachable until 3.15. I'm such a klutz

 

[underqualified_applicant]

I am a n x i o u s

 

[mysonadoctor]

maybe too busy with second look tomorrow and waiting till after May 1st?

 

[introp445]

Could be, but that would be annoying

 

[introp445]

But then again, applying to medical school is annoying

 

[NotGeneric]

They told us to expect some sort of decision today. I'd take that at face value. If not, we're effectively waitlisted. Which is kinda sad.

I feel like we’ll hear something, no? If we’re waitlisted I’d like to think they’d tell us. Who knows. I too am a n x i o u s :/

 

[NotGeneric]

The portal will probably be updated later? Definitely going to be a few tears

 

[Immunofluorescence25]

Just got a call; so grateful and excited for this school!

 

[NotGeneric]

Amazing! Congratulations!!!!

Tell us if your portal is updated

 

[BCtoMD]

Just received an email for HPWL
Does anyone know if there is a regular wait list or is everyone placed on high priority?

 

[NotGeneric]

Has everyone received HPWL emails?

There is an alternate WL (lower priority) but most people seem to be HPWL

 

[underqualified_applicant]

I re

I received nothing. Did you?

 

[NotGeneric]

Nothing. Probably going person by person...

If we don't hear back before 5 we're probably doomed. Unless they're going to stay in the office longer today

 

[underqualified_applicant]

It seems weird that they would send HPWL person by person. Wouldn’t they send it in one wave?

 

[NotGeneric]

Haha, that would be good for us wouldn't it?

If they are making calls in alphabetical order I would probably be towards the end...

 

[NotGeneric]

Got the email 🙁

 

[underqualified_applicant]

HPWL

 

[runnindude]

Has anyone else not heard? Lmao I'm suffering

 

[yoba]

Got the call. Excited for this school!

 

[dmerutuf69]

Was hoping there might be some HPWL movement today but it looks like there wasn't.. Back to waiting and hoping that enough people turn down their acceptances and I can get in because SKMC is my top choice.

 

[NotGeneric]

Congratulations to everyone who was accepted!

 

[zajediknight42]

Interviewed March 27, got the acceptance call a little over an hour ago. Top choice!!! Thanks to everyone on this thread I’ve silently relied on for support!

Portal and amcas account both have not updated yet, not sure if they’ll update today. Anyone know when to expect the update?
