Congrats on the II fellas! I was complete 7/16 and still haven't heard back. Still a little hopeful since I don't have the "interview not offered", but it's not looking good.

I was complete in mid-July when I applied. I didn't receive my II until December and am now a student here. Patient is a virtue for this school given how many apps they receive

@Chip1 If I don't have a physics letter, what would be an appropriate way to discuss this in the secondary? The FAQs say to address this in the additional information section. Is it sufficient to simply say something along the lines of 'I don't have a physics letter because I took one physics class and I don't feel the professor would say anything different from my 3 other letter writers?" I don't want to come across as being lazy or something. Thanks!
 
Anybody else gonna be interviewing on Halloween?

The 1 chem, 1 bio, 1 physics LoR is just a recommendation. I surely didn't send one of each, and I got an II

That's good to hear. Did you end up mentioning that fact at all, or did you just send them what you had and not say anything about it?

Yeah I agree with others. I do not think there is a specific need to mention the letters. If you want to talk about the letters you do have and why you asked whomever you asked for them, then that is also an option.

I am the only one whose heart skipped a beat when looking at the communication status, and seeing the word "Invitation," only to be disappointed after reading that it actually says "Supplemental Invitation." Hahahaha.

I hate what the application process does to me. I've been "invited" to apply to so many SMP's I might pull my hair out lol. Or last cycle when I was invited to join NYU's twitter chat....

Does this school send emails for interview invites like most schools? Or do you have to check the portal?
 
What are the schools that only update the portal and usually do not send out emails for interviews?

worthwhile sending an in the area email here?
 
Does anyone know if Jefferson accepts update letters and if so how do we send them? The only thing I can find is on the FAQ, & it just says "Changes to your application can only be submitted in writing. No online changes can occur."

Don’t lose hope guys, I interviewed on the very last available day in April (so did a few of my current MS1 classmates) and Dr Callahan was sure to let us know there were still spots available in the class even though it was so late.
