Are those the old minutes? It looks like it because Jefferson was awarded precandidate status at it's January meeting. ACPE hasn't updated their minutes/news online as of today.

and i think you posted in the wrong thread...haha, this is the Jefferson thread, not the California Northstate thread.

the interview is veryyy laid back and the interviewers are super friendly. one of them even gave me her shawl because it was cold outside .. just be yourself and make it more of a conversation than a serious interview.. show your enthusiasm and smile .. also ask them about what they do and what they are interested in.. good luck!!!

 

[pReShuZanGL]

When did you interview at jeff?
Although Howard would be so much closer to home... howard does have a lower naplex passing rate plus its facilities are so rundown i would definitely pick jefferson. Being from the philly area jeff has a great reputation - its one of the best hospitals around here. I have no doubt that they'll get full accreditation once they get their first class graduated. But personally i would be iffy about going to howard.

 

[confettiflyer]

I agree...Howard has one of the lowest NAPLEX passing rates in the country (I believe they have THE lowest). Go with Jefferson, their possibilities make me drool.

 

[ladifantasy]

for those who got accepted or interview offers, do you mind sharing your stats?
thanks.

 

[IVtech]

Hospital is really nice. I'm working at the hospital pharmacy right now. I told my IV manager that jefferson hospital and GTH can not compare...

My interview was 12/20 and jefferson only invited for interview around 100 applicants and will accept 75... so whoever got interview, most of them will get an acceptance letter... I was lucky. Interview was great. Welcoming us and felt good.

 

[nerv12345]

what the...why only interviewing 100? seems like they're just letting anyone in!

also, how do you know they're only interviewing 100?



...so does anyone know the cost of attendance? it's not on their site..

 

[confettiflyer]

...so does anyone know the cost of attendance? it's not on their site..

Hmm...their grad programs are ~$24k/yr, their medical program is $36k. So fair compromise is that it's going to cost about $30k? That's how much most other private programs are.

And 100 people interviewed? Was this confirmed from the school? It sortof makes sense, they see about 7-10 students per interview day, and so far there have been about 4-5 in the first round (Dec-Jan). So after two rounds they will have interviewed nearly 100 students.

 

[gabapentin]

I got an interview for Feb. 16th! The other dates were 7, 13, and 25.

When I went down to visit in November, the tour guide told me that she heard only 25 people applied.

 

[nerv12345]

no way really--that's pretty tragic. that school is freaking amazing.

edit: she probably meant 25 people have interviewed so far...this school needs more exposure!

 

[pReShuZanGL]

did anyone call n check if those rumors are true? that would be sad

 

[nerv12345]

anyone get anything in the mail? there's a coupla papers...one says there's a 500 dollar deposit due on feb 4, and the other says there's a 200 dollar deposit due a month after your acceptance..

i am going to call them tomrorow to clear things up.

yah i was confused about that too.. but since it says 500 2 times and 200 once.. i just sent 500.. but let us know after u call them!

 

[Oaktownhomeboy]

I emailed them to confirm, and yes, it is $500.00 for the deposit.

that is incorrect. When I was interviewed, I was told by the admissions counselor that up to that point, they recieved 400 applicants already. And for those who got the acceptance letter, when was your interview date? thanks

 

[Oaktownhomeboy]

My interview was I believe January 7th.

thankkkkk u that makes me feel better haha.. and my interview was dec 14

 

[gabapentin]

I was told only 25 applicants in early November when I went on the tour. Jefferson is an excellent health network...people from Eastern Pennsylvania can vouch for that...so I'm sure a lot applied. Hopefully I can get in

 

[nerv12345]

one more spot for you guys.

i'm declining my acceptance because i can't obtain 12 quarter units of anatomy and physiology (my university only offers it for a total of 8 units). she recommended i take them over summer at a junior college or something, which i am not willing to do

pretty disappointed...out of the schools i got into (so far?) it was my #1 choice..oh well

 

[nerv12345]

yah i was confused about that too.. but since it says 500 2 times and 200 once.. i just sent 500.. but let us know after u call them!

the assistant dean of admissions confirmed that it is in fact a 500 dollar deposit

 

[Oaktownhomeboy]

i just sent out my deposit today. Hopefully it doesn't get lost in the mail.

Too bad I can't give you 4 =(

sad. dude that's what i'm doing. my school has a weird series too but i'm just gonna suck it up and do it over summer.. i mean it's only one class.. u can still have a fun summer.. and if u think about it.. it's worth the 4 years of happiness for sure

i <3 phiLLy!

one class? Astle said i'd have to take anatomy and physiology to add up...so two classes

edit: where are you taking your class?

 

[pReShuZanGL]

hmm well you could do one session right now (there are lots of CC's that start sessions in feb) and then one in the summer.. or you could do both in the summer.. for me they're counting my 8 quarters of vertebrate anatomy at anat and not counting my 4 quarters combined human anat/physio class.. so they want me to take a 4 semester units of human phys.. so i'll probably do it at santiago canyon college in orange or fullerton college or riverside cc.. i just have to see who offers it and when the latest times are.. i aint wakin up early in the summer haha take it with me! u can do all my work
