Probationary Status - Indefinitely
Did you get the II today? Didn’t know schools sent them on weekends dang
They probably got it earlier in the week. Do you guys think they're not reviewing in order? I submitted pretty early
Mine has said this for awhile
Ok good! Same🙂
What is the interview format at Sidney Kimmel - one on one or MMI?
They post this information on their website
When did you submit if you don't mind me asking.

You are fine. People who received it on Friday were only able to sign up for Oct 29th and they do interview only once a week.

II OOS today LM 72.5
Congrats bro! When were you complete?
July 1st from the confirmation email
none of my emails from them said anything about a two week deadline
The secondary application says to complete within two weeks of receiving it.
In the email it says “The final deadline to submit your supplemental application is January 1st for the MD program and November 1st for the MD/PhD program”
So it's not actually in the secondary app e-mail, but it is on the actual application when you are filling it out:
"To complete your application, please submit this form with your application fee within two (2)weeks."
"To complete your application, please submit this form with your application fee within two (2)weeks."

Does this school care about familial connections to the school in terms of admissions decisions, or are those questions on their secondary more for statistics purposes?

anyone have any ideas or advice on how to effectively answer "why this school" in an interview setting? I feel like I shouldn't just repeat the program I mentioned on my secondary but maybe that's the way to go about it?

Thank you! My application was marked complete on 8/21
+1 OOS II 9/16. LM 74. Complete on 7/30. The earliest interview date I'm seeing is for mid-December. Is the case for anyone else?

Jeez, if they're already at mid-December for actual interviews, how many more sets of invites do you guys think they'll send for the cycle? I know it's very early and it's probably not the smartest question to ask, but that's not a lot of interview time left after December, so I was wondering
Jefferson is in person, so despite them filling up, they do continue to send IIs until February as some students will turn down the II if they already have a better offer (a perk of in person interviews). They do take a break during November and December with the holidays, but they will continue to fill spots as needed until next year.
Don't they also only have interviews on Wednesdays or something? Would make sense that significantly prolongs their interview time period.
Most schools only interview once a week, but yes that is what I saw.

I knew someone who got an II in January, interviewed in March, and was accepted. This was in like 1980 though

Does Jefferson do multiple "rounds" of II? or is it rolling?

Did everyone get a marked complete email? I finished my secondary end of July and still never received a confirmation email aside from the submission of my secondary

Interview day was honestly a lot of fun! They do two 1:1 student and faculty interviews, and both felt very casual and conversational. For the student interview, we were told ahead of time that the goal was simply to see if we were someone they’d enjoy having as a classmate. The faculty interview focused more on my admissions file and included a few of the traditional, more predictable interview questions. Hope this helps!

both were very chill and conversational. they tell you that all day but you don't believe it until you're in the middle of the interview and not feeling nervous at all lmao
no trick questions at all

No, I was just confused, I feel like some people got a separate email saying their app is complete. Mine said it's under review but I wasn't sure if I'm supposed to get an additional email from them. I have received 2 emails the day I submitted my secondary, but that's it.

Just checked my email - I also got 2 the day I submitted secondary and that’s it. A successfully submitted and then a complete email. No under review for me either
