I believe decisions only come out on Wednesdays. And 2/23 interviewers should be hearing around now. I interviewed 2/16 and was accepted 2 weeks ago. I was told 1-6 weeks post interview is when you will get a decision.
Yes, I got waitlisted the good old “special high priority waitlist”
Did anyone receive an acceptance today?
I put so much effort into that dang update letter though 😩 was really hoping for a shot here. Oh well. Pre-II R today as well.

I received an A yesterday!!! Dean Losasso called me and then emailed as well. Beyond ecstatic, as this is my second cycle and lemme tell ya, its been a looooong road. Non-trad (4 gap years), 509, 3.5x GPA, 3.9x master's GPA.
Update letter sent 10/17, II 11/11, Interviewed 2/16, post-II interest email to Dr. Losasso, A 3/16 🥳🥳🥳
I highly recommend contacting Dr. Losasso if you're interested in Jefferson. She's such a kind soul. Everyone I've talked to at Jeff has raved about it and seemed genuinely happy there. Not to mention superb match lists, great metropolitan location etc. Good luck to everyone else! Keep pushing. Everything will work out the way it's supposed to.
Congrats! I sent a letter of intent after my interview already. I will probably send another letter closer to May when the waitlist movement starts.
They do let prospective students visit campus! I was in Philly for a day and emailed a current student and they were able to connect me with another student who was able to give me a tour and answer any questions I had. It was super informative and I emailed them pretty last minute so definitely give it a shot if you’re in the area.

Does anyone have Jeff's 2022 Match list / match rate?
Match list isn't out yet. Match rate was around 96% (called admissions)
Also, here's this
Is the 96% match rate pre-SOAP or post-SOAP? Also, do you mind sharing the admissions number to call? And if you do get hold of the match list please post here as well OFFICIAL - 2022 Match Lists
In past years, the admissions committee has taken off the week (or two) after interviews wrapped up, so no decisions were released in those weeks (but that was when interviews lasted into April).
Was anyone who recently interviewed informed that the committee isn’t meeting certain weeks, or told when to expect a decision? Thanks!

How long did it take for you to get your package/did they email it to you? I've been waiting on it since FAFSA submission / other forms were completed in late Feb and nothing.
I didn’t get my official package yet. I have a scholarship from another school and wanted to negotiate it. I believe FAFSA is only need based aid.
Nope. FAFSA is required for everyone, since it's required for federal loans that are not need based. The only people not filing FAFSA are those not applying for need based aid OR federal loans (i.e., private loans or entirely self-pay).
As far as negotiating scholarships, there is no rule of thumb. Every school is different, and every person is different (i.e., they might tell me to get lost but be willing to negotiate with you). So don't go by what anyone says here (except for me 😎) and take your shot. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. No one has ever been rescinded merely for asking. The worst they can say is no. Good luck!!
I tried to negotiate, but no dice. They don’t give merit aid for M1.

You need to check your SKMC Outlook email.
Oh damn so they only give out a financial aid award? And it’s need based only?
Yea I have been and still nothin, gonna send an email asking if I'm somehow missing a form or something
You'll have to also fill out the banner documents - if you want to be considered for institutional aid you're going to have to get federal tax returns from parents.
Nope.
