2023-2024 Jefferson (Kimmel)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hi everyone! This may be a silly question, but this is my first in person interview so here it goes- I'm interviewing this week and am concerned about footwear with the weather in Philly rn. I would typically wear heels, but am cooncerned about walking outside in the snow/cold. Should I bring a different pair of shoes in a purse and change? Not sure what the etiquette is for this... Thanks!
 
Anyone familiar with the ED process at Jefferson? Was thinking of applying through the ED process this upcoming cycle.
 
Is anyone's portal for the 1/24 interview updated? also, for girls, what is the fit that everyone is going with?
 
for accepted students, Do you guys get the access blocked error when you try to access the student portal and canvas etc
 
HPWL second year in a row.... Jefferson as top choice school second year in a row and my hopes are dashed 🙁 I moved to Philly partially for this school.
 
For those that already interviewed, what advice do you have? This is my first in person interview and I don’t know what to expect.

Honestly, don't be stressed. They do a great job of making you feel comfortable and lead you through the day very well. They do provide lunch at a great Italian restaurant. Be friendly and get to know the other applicants; that was probably the biggest + of an in-person interview. If you have specific questions just PM me.
 
I’m also in Philly… is anyone with complete silence located outside of Philly?

Other than UPenn I think Jefferson has the lowest IS II% rate of the schools in PA according to MSAR. It’s still higher than the OOS rate but is def low compared to other schools
 
Looked at last year’s thread and if this year’s cycle follows then there’s another ii wave or 2 to go. For anyone else waiting there’s still *some* hope for us lol

That’s true but I think it has to do with Jeff interviews in person.

It’s possible that they think out of state students are less likely to fly out after they get any acceptances, so they’re interviewing them first.
 
From reading the thread it seems like interview day is really relaxed here. Did any of the faculty interviewers throw any curveball questions? What is the best way to prepare? Just standard interview questions?

Also for those who interviewed, did you ask your student and faculty interviewers for their email to send a thank you note?
 
Did any accepted students here send them a letter of interest (not intent) shortly after their interview? Would it increase my chances of acceptance post II?
