December? Already? It's not even October yet!

Considering they only interview on Wednesdays, I'm not that surprised. It just adds more stress for the rest of us lol.

Anyone know how long it takes roughly to get a decision one way or another after your status says 'under review?'

I don't believe it says that right away once you're complete so I suspect 'under review' actually kinda means 'under review' at this school?

Hm where does it say "under review", underneath the "Letter of References" area? Mine hasn't changed since 6/29 so I assume you're probably right and that they're looking at your app

Yeah I submitted within the first week and it still says my app is complete. I just hope they get to me soon...

 

[The Silent Sentinel]

Sent out an ITA not too long ago, I hope they’re receptive

 

[Pup1_2_3]

Complete 6/29 and thank you!

Congratulations!!! If you don't mind, would you mind sharing your stats? I applied around the same time, but haven't heard anything.

Has anyone had any luck with Student Hosting? If not, does the school have any connections with hotels that offer a special rate?

 

[pixiehew]

SKMC is still stuck in June? Damn ‍♀️

If you stay at a hotel, check out the Holiday inn Express on Walnut St. as it's about 3 blocks from the medical school. Also, ask for either the Thomas Jefferson Medical School rate or the Thomas Jefferson Hospital rate. That rate is very reasonable and the hotel is incredibly convenient.

 

[pauliepauliepaulie]

So just to clarify, the status changes from "complete" to "under review" at some point? Wow, they are slow. I was complete 7/24 and nothing yet.

I have an interview in December and emailed a girl on the list they give us and confirmed housing with her!

Same! Left my "any other things you want to tell us" essay blank tho so I'm not expecting much from Jeff

 

[DoomDoomie]

Has anyone that applied to PSAP heard anything yet?

Wait is this a thing? I submitted 7/1 and still have "app is complete" but nothing about being under review.

 

[kris400158]

I submitted 8/1 and under "application complete" I have another box that says "application is under review"

 

[FroYoOreo]

I submitted 8/1 and under "application complete" I have another box that says "application is under review"

what...I don't see my under review box, and I was complete in early July.

 

[itsalwayssunny96]

what...I don't see my under review box, and I was complete in early July.

lol I submitted 6/29, they don't seem to be reviewing chronologically

 

[dwightkschrute635]

II today! Complete end of July, LM~69

 

[sam_jones1]

My portal still says "application complete" and I received an II a couple of weeks ago lol. I never remember seeing the portal say "under review" but guess I could have missed that

 

[frankie75]

Has anyone that applied to PSAP heard anything yet?

Yes! I heard about an interview after the three additional letters were submitted.

 

[premedliferip]

II today! Submitted 8/2, LM ~72

 

[pixiehew]

They’re finally on to August ! Woohoo

 

[DoomDoomie]

Yes! I heard about an interview after the three additional letters were submitted.

congrats! All my letters were submitted towards the end of August. Still under review...

 

[futureFormerChild]

anyone else complete around 7/23 still not hear yet? when i log in, it says application complete (not sure if its ever supposed to change to under review)

 

[frankie75]

Thank you, but don't worry there is still a lot of time left in the process! Best of luck!

 

[SpeedaBoY]

What is this school’s interview style? MMI? Traditional?

 

[burb]

Yep, complete 7/22 and it does not indicate being under review. Just got to wait 🙂

 

[notfanning]

I think they do some heavy filtering of apps. I also submitted 7/23 or 7/24 and got a II on 8/8.

 

[notfanning]

What is this school’s interview style? MMI? Traditional?

Traditional. There’s a one on one interview with a faculty member and another with a current student, plus some social hours and presentations about the school, curriculum, etc.

 

[googleeyes]

does this school accept update letters?

 

[wwjd777]

Did everyone get an invitation for the open house on 10/26?

 

[wahoogirl1121]

Has anyone that applied to PSAP heard anything yet?

I have not yet

 

[GetmeintoMed]

I think they do some heavy filtering of apps. I also submitted 7/23 or 7/24 and got a II on 8/8.

I think that is because you are a PA resident and they review you separate from the rest of the pack. They seem to favor PA residents for interviews according to the MSAR data - almost 3x the rate compared to out of state (19% v. 7%). Congrats on the invite!

 

[Avulse]

does this school accept update letters?

I sent two update emails directly to Dr Callahan (guess it worked out fine), but if I were you, I would email her directly AND CC the admission email. She’s very nice and tends to reply to update emails

completed on 6/29... still radio silence. Anyone in the same boat?

Complete a day or two after receiving the secondary in June. Not a peep.

 

[M&L]

I am so sorry for all of you guys who are waiting... but it makes me feel better, - I am not alone anymore 🙂))))

 

[Chip1]

Hi everyone! I have seen a lot of people talking about waiting and I definitely know it is tough. Jefferson does go through applications multiple times and so you really do have a chance at being called in for an interview all the way until the end of March. I know it is tough but please hang in there! If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask!

 

[notbougie]

II here! OOS, Complete 6/29 lol.
Dates mid december - feb I believe.

hahahah... this is exactly how i feel

 

[MD95]

Anyone know if stats (GPA/MCAT) play a role in acceptance/waitlist decisions post-interview?

 

[Eagleye2]

[SR71BLK]

[M&L]

Complete 6/29!!! (And still nothing )🙂))

 

[wahoogirl1121]

II just now! Complete 8/8, IS, and applied to PSAP

 

[serotonin78]

Has anyone heard back for hold/rejections yet? I'm wondering if I've been put on hold...

Complete end of July, "under review" showed up under "application complete" sometime in Sep I believe, and now it's just app complete again. Is anyone in the same boat?
