This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.

I just realized that on the secondary it said “To activate your application, please complete and return this form with your activation fee within two (2)weeks.” I missed the two week mark by one day...how big of an impact do y'all think that'll have?

also congrats to the people who've already gotten II!!

Are you sure? I just re-read my SKMC secondary invite and it does not state the timeline. I still submitted in 10 days. But I don't think it will have too big of an impact.

It wasn't in the email but it was on the actual secondary

Explain any impact that COVID-19 may have had on your educational/research/volunteering or employment plans.

I'm a D1 student-athlete and COVID-19 had a major affect on that, but it doesn't necessarily fall under the "educational/research/volunteering or employment plans." Should I still include it?

Ah that's fair. Sorry, I didn't see that, but yes, it is in my actual secondary application. I still think it's fine. They should be more flexible this year given COVID.
 
I got a confirmation email saying my application was complete but I don’t remember filling out any form?
I believe the form is referencing the secondary application. Not sure why they would use the odd wording.
 
Kind of new here, but I was wondering what LM and WARS meant and how you go about calculating this?

LizzyM and WedgeDawg scores. They're basically meant to be "predictors" of competitiveness for medical school applicants. LizzyM compares your MCAT and GPA to other students and gives you a percentage of applicants with those stats who got into med school and WARS includes things like how strong your ECs and research are. If you just look them up you should find the calculator for each of them with the rules/explanation.
 
My Application status says my letters of references are not received, but the document status says my letter packet has been received. My application is incomplete. Is anyone else having this issue?
I too am having the same issue. I saw that higher up on the thread someone reported the issue but didn't mention any sort of resolution. I may just call and will update you on what they say.
 
Anyone complete 7/15 hear anything?
Jefferson does not reject until the end and does not update you throughout the cycle. Even if you're complete, you may not get an interview until February or March (happened to me last cycle). Best to not obsess over anyone hearing anything!
 
I combined my diversity essay with a why jefferson/philly essay.

Did you literally put two separate essays within one document and combine them into one essay? Like have the why us essay, then a space and start your next essay. I'm trying to decide what I should do with my extra space.

I put in a transition sentence here and there but otherwise, yeah. Didn’t do much work for it
 
Does anyone know what their max for individual letters of rec is? It says 6 on MSAR but I wasn't sure if that applied to individual letters.

I have 5 individual letters and submitted application without any issues. So, you should be fine with 6 i guess.
 
When do we expect more II? Seems like they sent them out up to 7/12 complete
