I remember them saying that merit scholarships are available for students after their first year

When does Jeff stop giving out interviews?? Are they known to give some late in the game?
It was casual! No admissions people, just students giving you a rundown for the interview day and a little activity 🙂
The thread from last year showed that their last interview day was at the end of march. From April to June, people were accepted off the waitlist but no new IIs were given.
Hey all, sorry if this has already been addressed, but my zoom links said they’re to last about 20 minutes each? Seems pretty quick. Has anyone else’s lasted longer?

Does anyone know if Jeff takes more than one update letter? I sent one the first of November but have more to add now

Did you just email admissions the updates? Or did you also email them to Dr. LoSasso?
I've emailed Dr. LoSasso from the beginning
Did it help at all in getting an interview 😩
Well I haven't gotten an II from here but I'm patient! I don't mind waiting a little
Congrats!!! What was your interview date?

Have any accepted students been able to get into their Jefferson email account? I was told we would receive financial aid info to our "student email" but not sure if that means the Jefferson email.

Does she tend to reply with a confirmation that she received the update? Thanks!
WOW! Crazy you got a 2 week turn around! That seems faster than most of the other folks on the thread, but that’s super nice!
In our interview they said it could come anytime between 1-6 weeks after interview day lol
She did the first time but the second and third time, I just saw it appear in my portal. Usually the day after or a couple hours later after emailing her, I'd see that she uploaded it to the portal
She never replied to me but I saw it on the portal - I’ve only sent one update
My interview day said it was pretty much based on when your interviewers could come to the committee meeting, so yeah that tracks. They also said if we didn't hear in 6 weeks we could follow up.
Does anyone know around how many interviewers there are on the interview day? Also, do they send interviewer names and info before or during the day we are interviewing?
Like faculty/student interviewers or amount of interviewees? I'm pretty sure there was 1 faculty and 1 student interviewer per interviewee, but maybe a little less. And you do not get names before the interview.

Did anyone make a groupme or a Facebook group for the accepted students yet?
Is Jefferson done sending out IIs?
Manifesting I will get an interview invite in February. 🤩
probs not, last year they interviewed through the end of march.
Any chance you remember how long it took to appear on the portal? Thanks!
I cant remember exactly but i think I sent it in sunday evening and sometime the next 2-3 days, i saw an update in the portal - so not long at all
Did you guys address the update letter to Dr.LoSasso herself or to the admissions committee?
both

People who submitted an update to Dr. LoSasso directly via email, did it show up in your portal? If so, where do you see it?
communication or status tab, i believe
My email itself was to Dr. LoSasso, the pdf I attached of the actual update letter was to the adcom
I see last year's pre-II Rs around late March, don't know if any were sent earlier. But IIs were also sent late into February.

I had emailed Dr. LoSasso in November with an update and assumed that it had been put with my file, but it never showed up in my portal. I emailed admissions about it yesterday and it was finally updated. I hope the adcom actually saw my letter in November and not just yesterday 😒

mine was the same. never showed up in my portal and was sent pre-II. it still isn’t there lol. however, at my interview the interviewer brought up my update and had it in hand. so i would say all the adcoms saw your letter
