Thanks. During my interview they mentioned that there is a students/profs orchestra. I saw you avatar. Do you know anything about that?

I've heard that Dr. Bruce Fenderson does run an orchestra. I play the violin (not the cello - I just really like Thomas Eakins), but I didn't get involved with that.

If you go to Jefferson, you'll meet Dr. Fenderson during anatomy - he teaches embryo, some histology, and a lot of the pathology stuff (2nd year). He's a nice guy and would be thrilled to have you in his orchestra.
 
Interview 10/10
Acceptance 10/17
 
I've heard Jefferson offers acceptances weekly (vs. some schools that only offer them at set intervals, usually a month or two apart) . . . is that true?

This is true. Adcom meets on Wednesdays and calls those accepted right away. I got my call exactly one week after interviewing, it appears that a 1-2 week time frame post-interview for decision is the norm.

That's great. I don't want to completely give up my violin during med school!
Thanks for the info.😉

Nice. I have an interview there next wednesday, but will be at another interview the following wednesday. Should I be lucky enough to receive an acceptance that week, I have to rely on my cell phone's voice mail not crapping out like it sometimes does (I sometimes receive voice mails that are barely understandable, usually because I was getting bad reception at the time or something).

I assume they email/snail mail you notification of acceptance too?

When I applied, 2 weeks was the average. However, it can take up to 4-5 weeks (depending on if your interviewer was able to attend the adcom meeting or not).

Snail mail. You get a nice little card.

I never got the phone call, because the phone's answering machine lost power after the call (but before I got home), and it erased all the messages on it. I got a card in the mail, though.

*Gasp!* I didn't know anything about that! One more reason I love Jefferson. I haven't done more than practice my trumpet (or my violin) since high school. I would LOVE to play in their orchestra! I am going to be sure to mention that if I'm lucky enough to get an interview 2 years from now.
 
I got into Jefferson yesterday. Woo-hoo!

For all you late applicants, there's still hope!

Have you heard anything yet, malicious? Does anyone know how they notify you if you're on the waitlist?
 
Cataract and Malicious, I also interviewed on the 23rd and I didn't hear anything yesterday. I am just hoping they are on a 2 week notification time.

No I haven't heard anything. Dr. Christian said I should hear something within 3 weeks. I'm not sure how they notify about the waitlist, maybe by snail mail?

I have my fingers crossed. I really liked Jeff.
 
i just got my interview invite via phone today... they apparently had the wrong email address for me and were calling to ask why i hadnt answered.. PHEW thank god they did that.. but it definitely cost me some time and i wont be interviewing until late march now.. But im definitely happy to be going.

I interviewed on the 16th too, but I haven't heard anything. Does that mean waitlist?
Click to expand...

Hmmm...I dont know. They called me and said I was going to get a letter in the mail in a week.

Did you maybe miss the call? Is your voice mail working properly?

If not, maybe you'll be getting the letter soon.

Thats what i thought, so I called the admissions office and they said that there are some applicants who interviewed on the 16th who havent been reviewed yet. And they said they might hear next week. *fingers crossed*
Congrats to you btw! I really liked jefferson.

Yeah they did say at the interview that we would be getting responses anywhere from 1 to 4 weeks. I guess I just got lucky. But anyway, there's still hope for you. Good luck! I loved Jefferson too.
 
I got the call today! Good luck to everyone that is still waiting.
 
Dr. Callahan called a few hours ago!

Congrats, malicious!
 
Wow. Let me say that im actually a little upset at my self for allowing me to fall in love with a school this much.

Just had my interview today and it was defintly the best interview day by far. If accepted im totally going there!

Congrats! Its a great school

First acceptance, how does it feel?

Unbelievable, still hasn't hit me. It was during a group meeting. When I tried calling friends and family, no one answered. So I said eff it and went back to my group meeting. :laugh:

Are you deciding between Pitt and Jeff or some other schools now?

Well...I guess I'm just waiting until March to decide on everything because then I will at least know my options. Financial is a big factor for me also so I'll just have to wait and see. But I did really like Jeff and being close to home is definitely important.

Jefferson interviews through April. You can give them a call and ask if the class is full by your interview date.

Does that stand for Penn State Accelerated Program? Aren't those decisions way later, like March/April?

I believe there are a number of people who posted on the official rejection thread that they were rejected pre-interview.
