does everyone get a complete email? got the email that says they got my secondary and will send me a complete email once they have everything. my portal status says I'm complete and under review. in the communication status tab I don't see any complete email being sent either

I got a complete email much, much later even though my portal said everything was in and under review.
 
I still haven't heard back from this school... I was complete 06/28/2019. I'm starting to think this is a silent reject school. Has this school sent out any R's?
 
I'm in the same boat. Hate the anticipation.

Looking at last year's thread, people complete super early were getting IIs until February. They aren't even 1/2 through giving IIs at this point and they don't review chronologically. I'd just try to take your mind off of it (I know its super hard, I am struggling w/ this myself)

We’re still in August. Interview runs till the spring. Don’t worry. It doesn’t necessarily go in order either.
 
Anyone able to give more info on the public transit situation from the airport to SKMC? do you need a pass or do they take cash/change?

You can just pay cash on the train (it’s SEPTA regional rail Airport Line, sometimes they won’t come around if you’re lucky). You just tell them what station you’re getting off at when they come up to you on the train and they tell you how much it is and you pay them on the spot. There’s a line that goes right to Jefferson Station (not actually on campus, they just have the naming rights) and it’s a short walk to campus

II this morning. Complete 7/2. Interview scheduled October 9, which was the earliest available. Anyone schedule an earlier interview? Wonder if they’re going in waves

congrats! stats if you don't mind me asking? and state status?
 
I'm a lazy POS, but would it be a good idea for me to not write anything for the "any additional info" prompt?

+1, used the long character count as an opportunity for a 3-part love-letter.

1. Why I want to go to Jefferson
2. Why I want to move to Philadelphia
3. Why the school should want me

+1 except I just did 1 and 2 and it worked for me

II this morning! Complete 7/31 (though never got an email) and OOS!

EDIT: I also emailed an update yesterday morning and got a response that it would be added to my file. Not sure if that helped or just coincidence!

Would anyone with an interview considering switching dates w/ me? I have an interview scheduled for Oct. 9 but was looking to do a bit earlier if I could

God damnit. I didn’t know this school existed before Goro told me to put it on my list.
 
Doctors' Docta said:
Lol, I didn’t really know about it either. Anytime I tell people non premeds I’m interviewing at Thomas Jefferson, they give me a really confused look
Click to expand...
Only reason I knew about it was becasue I'm a huge Phillies fan and they're sponsored by Rothman Orthopedic Institute at Jefferson Health lol
 
Does anyone know if they are receptive to ITA emails
 
Doctors' Docta said:
I think it varies. You’ll find that with every school, some students have fast turnaround while others wait what appear to be an eternity lol. Just gotta be patient!

You're totally right. Thank you! I got my MCAT score at the end of June and have been submitting secondaries like crazy. I'm sure I'll feel better once I get my first II. Congrats on getting 5!! That must feel like a huge relief!
 
Since Kimmel basically has no other questions trying to get to know me as an applicant like other schools do, would the "anything else you want us to know" question be a good place to just tell them a little more about myself (sort of like the UCSD autobiography)? Or is that question geared more toward explaining breaks during undergrad, significant academic record red flags, etc?

I received an interview this morning and scheduled for 9/25. There was only this date in September as well as a couple spots in November to choose from, nothing in October.

If this is my top school, what is the best way to show interest in the school and when?
Click to expand...

Send them interest letters/updates a few weeks (+-6) after your secondary has been completed if you haven’t received an interview yet. After interview you should send a thank you note and you could send another letter of interest if you have more updates. Would definitely send interest letters if you are in the waitlist after interviewing.
