"I've been on a few others, so I don't feel it necessary to prep any more outside of glancing over interview feedback here." Report Response
"A lot of stuff. The school has a lot of trust in the students - the interview day is entirely student led..... The big class size seems like it works, contrary to what everyone at smaller schools wants you to believe. Like they said, how many close friends are you really going to have anyways? You're not going to be friends with the other 254 students at Jefferson. You're also not going to be friends with the other 59 students at Mayo. Learning is lecture and small group based, so you're not missing out on anything..... I liked the block schedule. Focusing on one topic with exams every other week or so would benefit me..... Hmm, what else? Some of the buildings are older, but there are new facilities also. The Hamilton building holds the 2nd year lecture room, and is also where many students spend their time studying..... The school holds community service in high regard. If you want to work with underserved patients, you probably won't find a better school. The school is affiliated with 21 hospitals in the Tri-State area. That gives you the opportunity to work with many different patient populations..... Finally, the admissions office is great, and encourages you to take advantage of their open door policy post-interview. I've found that most schools are very against additional information being added, or you showing your interest post-interview. Jefferson is the exact opposite." Report Response
"The gym is pretty small like someone else mentioned. " Report Response
"The parking prices listed on their website are OLD. I picked out an $11 lot and it ended up being $20. There is an early bird special lot for $10 on Walnut St. near the Scott building." Report Response
"Jefferson only interviews 800 out of about 10,000 applicants. With a class size of 255, you stand a pretty good chance of getting in if you get an interview..... Dr. Brooks is amazing when it comes to knowing her interviewees. If you interview here, you'll see what I'm saying..... There are two interviews, one student and one faculty. Both should be very laid back. There is 30 minutes allotted for the student and 60 for the faculty. My faculty interview actually lasted only about 10 minutes. But she seemed excessively busy, so I definitely understood..... Oh, and I was surprised not to see this here before I went, but they have one of the best lunches you will get. By far the best I've had. Salad, rolls, pasta, chicken, vegetables, and more. Great balance and not just a cold sandwich, chips and a cookie. " Report Response
