Does Jefferson have any in-state bias?

No, I do not believe so. There are so many choices, in terms of medical schools, in Pennsylvania that I do not think that any bias exists.

Actually, according to their website, they are the state medical school for the state of Delaware, so special consideration for students from Delaware is given.

Edit: Apparently too new to post a link to the page, but go to their admissions FAQ, it's the second question they list.

It says that they don't give preference, just preferential treatment.... what is the difference??

Yup, they do give Delaware special consideration because they are the state school for DE. But, they do not give preferential treatment to PA residents obviously. Basically, there are a set number of seats filled by DE residents, but that is the only "preferential" treatment given.

Was verified the 19th and thought I still hadn't received the secondary, but just checked my spam due to worry and I received it the 20th smh. So check your junk/spam folder!
 
Do you think if I didn't get the secondary back within 2 weeks that I'm out of the running? My parents booked our 2-week family vacation right as secondaries came out and it made it nearly impossible for me to work on them when I was there.


Submitted today.

That is definitely understandable. If you know the prompts to some of the schools already and have not received a secondary yet, it may help to slowly pre-write your secondaries ahead of time!
 
Do they do silent rejection or should i be looking for my rejection on the portal? (FWIW complete 6/30)

From what I've heard it is a silent rejection. I have a friend who applied to Jeff last cycle, didn't get an II, but didn't get the official R via email until like March.

It is still super super early in the cycle though - don't count yourself out! I'm sure II's are gonna flood yo way soon from all your fave schools :)

II today! 7/24, PA resident (I know people have been saying they only give preference to DE but I saw on their website that they give preference to PA)

don't you dare said:
What are some examples of things applicants can update the school about?
Click to expand...
It can really be anything. New volunteer hours, publications, awards, research opportunities etc. Even if it is minor you can always send it in. They really like updates and there is no cap on how many you can send.

Uh, did I already get rejected? No email, but my portal has "interview not offered" with a green check next to it right under the application complete box on the status page.

Anybody else have this? :(

I was complete by early July, and don't have this. It's possible, but it's also possible it's a "not yet" status.

Interesting. I suppose I'm not surprised they look at your social/professional media, but to get confirmation like that is always a reality check.

haha I like your optimism! I'm not giving my hopes up though. It clearly says it :/
 
Just confirmed with admissions. The "interview not offered" status is indeed a rejection after review. Good luck to everyone else!

Thank you! I'm always a little scared to send updates because I'm unsure if the schools will get annoyed or not, but I'm glad jefferson welcomes them :)
