2024-2025 Jefferson (Sidney Kimmel)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
In your portal if u go to communication status, how many emails do you see? I see 3: Secondary received, secondary submitted and secondary complete.
I only see 1) secondary invite and 2) secondary submitted

Hm that is kinda weird. Up to you guys but I might email them in the next few days if I'm either of you. I'm still guessing it's a weekend issue
 
Complete 6/30 :xf: was delusional about being in the first wave.
 
I was complete on Monday, not the weekend and I’m in the same situation. I actually emailed them about it last week and they replied with a pdf document detailing instructions on when and how to email them, no response on the question.

Maybe a phone call is worth it, but I decided to leave it alone because someone who got an II above didn’t get a complete email either.
 
I just checked my emails, and I got a complete email while I got the "Thanks for submitting your secondary" email (basically immediately after I submitted).

Is the JeffBEACON program the same thing as the JeffHOPE program? The secondary says JeffBEACON, but I cannot find any information on that program. All that comes up is JeffHOPE.
 
Received II yesterday. Submitted secondaries 7/6. Surprised cause I'm ORM with mid ecs. Feel free to reach out for more info! Idk how SDN works yet tho lol
congrats! did you or anybody else who got an II this early write a why skmc for the optional essay?

It's a post-matriculation program focusing on health equity. If you search it up in the brochure it should be there!
 
do they send out IIs everyday? like will there be more this afternoon or not for a while

I received an II and I roped in some why SKMC into the first prompt and then used the optional essay for gap year info

I did not. I modified one of my TMDSAS essays. I feel like u can put any essay that u think is good into that prompt lol
 
literally submitted yesterday at 3:30pm, marked complete at 2:15am today and my app is already under review, they really do move fast

Very confused. I submitted my secondary like 6/30 and my app has been under review. But I just got an email confirming the completion of my app.

I still haven’t gotten the completion email lol. It might have to do with their letters requirement? I don’t have one from each science + humanities.

I didn't have those letters either but got the app complete email at 5am today. I submitted my secondary yesterday. What does it say in your portal?

Portal says under review, and in the communication status it says only two emails sent, last one being “secondary submitted”
