Hi guys, first of all congratulations 🙂 on the interview invite...

Now when were you officially complete?

I've been complete for around 1.5 weeks now and am so totally depressed ... I hope I'll get an invite soon....

I was complete on the 25th of July and will be interviewing there on Sep 24, who else will be there?

those with interviews at Jefferson, do you mind posting what kind of stats you had....my app won't be complete for at least another 3 weeks....damn LOR.......thanks

 

[Lux Aeterna]

LOL, join the club ocean11. I feel your pain. I know it's early, but it would be nice to score an invite.

 

[Dr. Xavier]

Wow invites already, lets just say your chances are very good this early in the game.

I just completed my Jefferson application today (If I'd only received the original email maybe I would have heard something back by now...!). I'm crossing my fingers too....

I'll see you there efex100...are you going to stay with a student or go with the $100 per night hotels they listed? I'm coming from San Francisco and have to make it a really short trip, (arriving at 8:30 the night before and leaving at 7 the evening of the interview day) so I'm tempted just to go with a hotel.

I'm not sure when my file was complete -- maybe2-3 weeks ago?

And stats? Pretty good/average but with a lot of clinical employment and clinical/community volunteer work and leadership. I also did a post-bacc at a CA state school b/c I got my degree in anthro and took relatively few science classes the first time around.

Best wishes to you all too!

Burlypie I am in your same situation, to save money (the airlines wanted $1,000 for my ticket into Philly hello??) I am flying into Baltimore late on the 23 staying at a hotel there in Baltimore, and then driving early next morning (100 miles) to Philly, this ticket was $160 a big difference! I also have a limit on how many days I can stay so I also leave Wed around 9:00 at night. Yeah, I am doing hotel and rental car..

 

[burlypie]

Wow, props to you. I don't think I could handle driving 100 unfamiliar miles to an interview. Doesn't the rental car cost almost eat up the 160 you're saving on the plane ticket?

I actually found $340 fare from SF to Philly on ATA and America West, but the flight schedules would keep me away for three days -- can't do that. Luckily my mom has a zillion frequent flier miles che's kicking down, so I could get that $1500 American Airlines flight without worry.

But yes, I think the airlines have it in for us mid-week travelers. No fair .

I think she's saving $840 on the flight! 😱

Did you guys try Southwest Airlines? I don't think a ticket from Calif to Philadelphia should cost that much. I got a ticket from LA to Nashville for $250.

Hey, I'll be with you guys on the 24th. I think my file was complete about three weeks ago, but I'm not sure.

I'm a philly native, so I don't think I'll be much help with the flying bit, but if you need any help with directions or anything, I'd be happy to lend a hand.

Same here, also a Philly native. Just moved out yesterday from Baltimore -- damn -- 36 hours of packing/unpacking is no fun 🙂

I wouldn't worry about when you interview. My file was complete early on, but I didn't get an interview until the first week of March. And I received my acceptance shortly after that. (I was never on the waitlist). The class was supposed to be "full" at the time that I went.

Dont' worry about when you hear, or when you interview. It doesn't make a difference at Jefferson.

Good luck to you guys!
