I don't think so, I received II with just two STEM and one humanities LORs
Did you email beforehand to get approval or did you just submit what you had?
I just submitted it. I read somewhere here or on Reddit that they aren't really strict about it, so I wasn't super stressed. MSAR say minimum 3 LORs

Is sending in secondary the first week of august worth it or is it too late?
definitely not too late, especially considering how there was a delay in sending secondaries out for many schools this cycle
I used this essay for a “why Jeff” essay and got an interview!
Did you have all of your PSAP letters in when you submitted? what about now since you got the II?
What if we don't have the recommended LOR. I barely know anyone with a physics or humanities letter that seems like an odd requirement.
No. August just started...

Wow! Congrats
Thank you!!
Received a secondary from them on 7/1, and this school just got lost in the shuffle for me. I just noticed that they have this statement:
To complete your application, please submit this form with your application fee within two (2)weeks.
Is it still worth applying?

I don't see where it says that. In my email it just says the final deadline is in January.
It wasn't on the email, it's in the application itself.

Do you think it really matters? I mean the email itself said January 1st was the deadline. It's not like they lock you out of the portal after 2 weeks.

Omg this gives me hope I had lost because I was complete on 7/9 and so many people after that complete date got interviews

This was quite shocking to me tbh. I was still within the 2 weeks but I assumed something like that would be in the email they sent, not exclusively on their portal. Not sure how "serious" it is... Kimmel says different things everywhere lol (ex. LOR requirements being 4, but then if you email them they say its 3 minimum).

Stats? Social security number?
LM 65
Same case, I submitted on 7/4....
Same, submitted 7/15
Don’t think so plus in person interviews so they’re gonna be scheduled down in the cycle most likely

I did 1 brief paragraph for gap years plans, then spent a few more paragraphs for a Why Jeff. I heard Jefferson likes interest, esp since they have so many apps per cycle.
Complete 8/7 II 8/9 URM, strong ties

We're passed up for now fellas

Would we be at a disadvantage if we don't write about "why jeff" in the second prompt? i am a reapp and i was considering just submitting what ive done since my last applicatoin
So if high stat applicants are getting IIs within like a day or two of submitting SK's definitely a stat heavy school i'm assuming

idk if i'd call them stat-heavy, i was complete 7/2 and am LM 82 and haven't heard anything. i feel like they're much more of a mission fit school especially because they get so many applications across a wide stat range
Does SKMC have any type of in-state preference? The II data on MSAR shows a bit better for PA residents, but the school themselves says no relationship required.

Maybe the school does not discriminate IS or OOS, if that's what they say. It could be that PA residents are just more likely to commit to enroll than other OOS students
Submitted 7/5 and nothing🤷♂, telling myself it's yield protection to cope.
Yeah no explicit preference and no in-state requirement on quota by law, but the MSAR data suggests there definitely exists a decent in-state preference (as is the case for almost all private schools) likely due to yield. OOS interview rate is less than half the in-state rate
They are definitely a mission fit school 100%
II complete 8/9/23 LM 76.5 🥰🥰🥰
They are only scheduling for early November! So there are still many chances for everyone to get an II!
