Have people who were accepted recently paid their deposit yet?

I don’t think it’s due until April 30th, right?

Can you talk at all about movement on HPWL? When people can expect to start hearing and how many people get accepted from the HPWL list? Thanks!

I was fortunate enough to get accepted off the bat, but given that Jeff has one of the highest numbers of applicants, we also give out a lot of acceptances knowing people will ultimately pick another school (can't imagine why!). Honestly can't say how the school has been handling covid-influenced decisions (more people applying than ever before, more people accepting IIs since it is no cost, etc), but I imagine most movement will be happening after the cut-off AAMC put out for reducing held acceptances. Historically we have lots of movement and yes, we do love update letters and LOIs.

I know they say 1-6 weeks to hear a decision, but has anyone heard back after 1 week? I am so anxious to know since Jefferson is my top choice now.

I heard back after 3 weeks and believe the vast majority hear 3-5 after interview!

Just accepted!! Interviewed 2/3

 

[MisterMukwa]

HPWL, interviewed 2/17.

 

[Curiousparent]

Just got an interview invite. I'm pumped!

Good luck to you! Are you in state or out of state?

 

[Curiousparent]

Also received an II today. Complete mid-July, sent an update in Jan.

Edit: available dates are March 24 and March 31

Good luck to you! Could you share your stats and if you are IS or OS?

Thank you! I'm in state in Pennsylvania. SKMC is a private college, but I believe SKMC is the state school for Delaware residents. They reserve 20 seats for Delaware residents.

Philly is just not showing love, silence since July here and at Temple 🙁

 

[devnurav]

Does anyone know when the interview season concludes?

 

[bossports]

Does anyone know about the dress code for those zooms they're hosting for accepted students, like the ODII panel they're holding tomorrow?

I don't, because I'm admitted and I don't know of any panels for accepted students lol.

I think it may be for URM/LGBTQ admitted students only, as it's hosted by the Office of Diversity and Inclusion?

That makes sense. Thanks!

This is for admitted students? Or pre-interview? I had one of those for pre-interview, but I didn't receive any notice about an accepted students thing.

Anyone know when we should expect financial aid offers from SKMC?

 

[helpmesos]

I. GOT. THE. CALL. One of my top choices, super ecstatic rn! (interviewed 2/10)

Congrats! What are your stats!

 

[deleted1062149]

High priority WL. Oh well. It was the nicest app email ive gotten though 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

[maybemd21]

i must ask.. do we think they're done sending II?

edit: they sent out interviews two days ago so I'm going to hold this question for next week 😭

 

[mumbosauce]

Got the call earlier today around 3pm! Interviewed 2/10, LM 69, ORM. Best of luck to those still waiting to hear back!

 

[armaragon]

Do you guys know how deep into interview invites Jefferson is atm?

 

[deacsdaig]

A yesterday 🙂 Interview 2/17

 

[ibl210]

Hey guys! Just submitted my enrollment deposit today. Does anyone know how I can access this banner financial aid portal people are talking about? I need to get a key first or something, correct? How long after enrollment deposit submission does that come out?

 

[whatevenisthis]

It’s just hard to keep track at this point but does Kimmel send pre II rejects? Sorry if this was asked

 

[MongutheDoggy]

Do most 1st years live on campus?

 

[NordicTrekker]

It’s just hard to keep track at this point but does Kimmel send pre II rejects? Sorry if this was asked

Yes, they do. You can scroll through the older pages here to see them. Not sure how often they're sent out.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the financial aid portal is in that same banner web system where you paid your deposit.
2 days after Dr. Callahan's call I got 2 emails from skmc: one "Instructions for Submitting Deposit...." which included the link to the banner and my banner ID, and another one that has the PIN (password).

For recently accepted applicants, where do we submit the deposit? Also, where do we find the campus code to register for 2nd look?

Then 6 days later I got an email from bannerwebadmin that included my campus key.

I hope this helped. And also you guys can always email Jefferson's IT or call them directly for help 215-955-7975. They're pretty responsive to inquiries!

 

[deleted1089003]

Anyone else deliberating between Jeff and their state school? Jeff's tuition is just ridiculously high.

 

[chonker_premed]

For those who've sent updates, does the admissions office/Dr. Callahan send a confirmation email or is their confirmation just the communication status update in our portals? This is a pre-II update letter also since being complete 09/02 and not heard anything back so I'm shooting my shot lol

(3.7 GPA, 507 MCAT, ORM, OOS first-time applicant)

hey guys
seems like they still have couple of IIs left to send--do you think they will still be considering anyone from earlier in the cycle (secondary submitted in July)?
also, is there anyone here that's international that was able to get an interview here?

I’m a non-Canadian international applicant and was accepted!

Yeah I think deciding between two schools I like at this point is gonna come down to money.

At this point in the cycle, they have to have gone through the list multiple times. I would imagine that they are not really looking at the specific times of submission at this point.

Attention, my fellow WL warriors -- I started a SKMC WL thread where we can learn more about our chances.

Sidney Kimmel Medical College Waitlist 2020-2021

Hey, everybody. I know if you are anything like me, you are itching to know more about your chances of moving from the WL purgatory to the holy land of Acceptance and medical education. Feel free to put on your tinfoil hat and discuss any WL conspiracy theories you've heard. Hopefully, with...

forums.studentdoctor.net

 

[pep90]

Hi! Could any current SKMC students comment on the merit-based scholarships offered to M3s and M4s? How many are awarded / what is the criteria? And do you have to submit the FAFSA before you enter as an M1 or can you fill it out at some point while in medical school? Thanks!

 

[magicgirl]

Congrats!!! I am also a non-Canadian international student. Would you mind sharing your stat?

I’m thinking of reapplying for 2022 cycle and will take an extra gap year to improve my profile. My current stat is MCAT 514, GPA 3.79, I have clinical and research experience, but no publication (yet, hopefully this year) or shadowing experience. I’d greatly appreciate your advice!

PM’ed you!

 

[Traveller398]

Got an A call earlier today! Interviewed 2/24. Non-Canadian international student.
