How long does it take for them to give us a financial aid package once we submit the Fafsa and forms on the financial aid tab on the Banner.
 
Got the A! Dr. Callahan just called me at 2:30 EST, interviewed 12/18

They said that they get back to applicants between 1 and 6 weeks after interview, depending on when your interviewer can make it to committee meetings. I wouldn't get nervous until mid February given your interview date. Best of luck!

For current students/anyone who knows, what is parking like at SKMC? Is it available to students? If so, does anyone know the monthly cost?

My sister went here about 10 years ago, but the parking was just what you found on the street. You can buy a spot in a deck which has a monthly fee, but I don't know how much that is now. There might be a student rate for the on campus stuff. Here's a list of the campus parking decks: Parking Information - Philadelphia University + Thomas Jefferson University - Thomas Jefferson University
 
For those of you who have sent thank you emails, did you address Dean/Dr. Callahan as Dean or Dr. ?

I did Dr. Callahan, but she signs all her emails CC and seems really chill so I don't think it matters too much

It seems like the general consensus for students and Philadelphians alike is that you need to use SEPTA (philly public transport) for everything.
My student interviewer lived out in the suburbs (Manayunk?) and took SEPTA to school. I think his total commute was about 30 minutes in total.

I'm planning on biking when I can, as the city was rated #4 for "Bike-ability" in the nation, even though the potholes are bad in town, and that's if I decide not to live on/near campus.

The one thing I did notice during my 24 hours in Philly, is that everybody was doing whatever they could do avoid driving or walking. I saw... the single most creative modes of transportation in my life that day, and I’m from NY.

That's been my plan up to this point. Sounds good! Thanks!
 
Does anyone know how we can get our faculty interviewer's email/contact info to send a thank you? Should I call admission office? Or is there somewhere on the portal that we can get it from? I couldnt find it online.

I had the same problem and one of the current students said that 90% of the time their email is just [email protected]

My sister and brother-in-law both went there but it depends on your interviewer. It kinda seems like 2-3 weeks is most common but I don’t know those stats for sure.

i recall dr callahan saying 4 weeks is the average in her opening presentation, so i wouldn't worry. especially since these threads are such a small sample size of overall applicants.
Click to expand...
Yea she said almost everyone will hear by 4 weeks but it could be up to 6 so there’s plenty of time.
 
If I have an interview scheduled for march, does anyone if I hit the "reschedule" button on the portal if I will be able to see if there are any dates in February currently open without automatically losing my spot in march?

You will lose your spot if you hit reschedule. Luckily, my date was still available despite looking for other available dates.
 
Anyone have any tips for the interview? I'll be interviewing this Wednesday, 2/5.
 
Ms1 here, feel free to message me with any questions!!

Student interviews are closed, faculty are open. Just be yourself during your interview and you’ll be more than fine! No need fo be nervous or scared.

Does anyone know if updates take a while to be added to your file and if there anyway to confirm?
Click to expand...
When I emailed an update to admissions they emailed me back the same day saying they received it and would update my file. Within a day or so my portal updated reflecting that.

What are people's opinions on sending a 2nd update letter? The first one I sent was in mid-november and so far silence

Waitlisted today. Interviewed 1/22. Email mentioned being "High Priority". Does anyone know if this is common/ what my chances of getting off this list would be?

Your chances are definitely higher than just being placed on the normal waitlist, but not sure how much of that list is eventually accepted
 
Accepted today! Got the call from Dr. Callahan 2:30pm. Beyond excited!!
