There has been an update. The dean has confirmed that they have returned to full approval status! There will be a mass email coming out soon as well as an email on when exactly classes will begin, last time I heard it was May 28th. 

I knew she confirmed it through an email to certain students who were asking, but I just wanted an official update on the website! I hope the mass email comes out soon so I can turn down my other acceptances with certainty and reassurance bc Jefferson is my #1 choice

I might be a little late in apply to the Fact2 program. I would like to get into the Center City Campus. Is there still spots left cuz it seems they accept people pretty quick after submitting the app

Hi! Just to let you know, Jefferson reached full approval in a recent email post

Hey everyone, I've just been accepted to Jefferson's Traditional BSN program at the Dixon campus!! Is anyone else here in the traditional program or just the FACT?

Did anyone have to answer the supplemental questions after the interview? I'm just wondering how long it took to hear back. I did really good on my interview. I have a 3.2 GPA, A's in all my prerequisites except A&P 2, I have a C+. But I'm worried I'm not going to get accepted.

I answered the supplemental questions and heard back with acceptance a week later.

I also have similar stats. I think you'll be okay!

Hi! I have an in-person interview scheduled in 2 weeks. Can anyone who has gone through it share a little more about what the process is like?

Hello! I will be starting the Fact-1 program at the center city campus in May. Has anyone received any correspondence on what we need to be doing before the start of the program? What vaccines do we need, what do we do for child clearances/ background checks/ drug testing? I'm feeling anxious because it's already February and I don't feel like I know what I'm supposed to be doing! And does anyone have a start date for the program?

Hi Everyone, I applied to the Fact 1 program on January 19th. How long did it take for you all to hear something back? I keep logging into the portal to see an update but nothing yet it just says status complete.

The day before the interview I got an email with the zoom link & a list of questions to prepare for. Mine was a zoom interview, but there were about 4 of us in a group with one admissions director. She asked each of us the same question from the list but switched it up so no one was answering first or last every time. All of the questions in the email were asked & then at the end she asked everyone a slightly different question related to problem solving. For example "describe a time where you disagreed with someone you worked with & how did you work through it?” Then the last question was "in your own words tell me what would make you an excellent nurse?” Once we were done they showed us a PowerPoint about the programs & gave us the chance to ask any questions we might have.

I heard back for an interview pretty quickly but I also applied before the bulk of applications came in. A lot of people are applying right now so, it's probably taking them some time to go through everything. I wouldn't stress too much.
