Hey guys. I just got the interview invite and my interview is scheduled for 4/14. I am super pumped about the interview, but it feels like I'm interviewing really late in the game. Am I interviewing for a spot on the wait list?
And for those wondering, I was put on hold a while back.

Same here. 10 days for me too. The trend seems to be 10-14 days from final decision to letter.
Lol I just got my acceptance letter today, Yay!! Good luck to everyone else still waiting
Btw I interviewed on 12/9 if that helps anyone
My status page now says
Guess I'm not gonna end up here.
Why can't schools just stop this **** and send the rejection?

Congrats!
Thanks 🙂 I'm so excited! Now I'm not sure whether I would rather do IFM or PIL... leaning towards PIL though
Somebody should do a study on this. It seems like everyone wants to do PIL when they get into Drexel. Somewhere along the way though, most of these people change their mind for some reason or another. My question is: what happens??
My status says this too!!! And I submitted my secondary in September and have yet to hear about a rejection or interview. Now it's just a waiting game... which is awful. Why do they put us through this!?
It took my letter 12 days. Friday Jan 30 - Wed Feb 11

Thanks! And good luck to everyone!
Thanks
Congratulations!! 🙂
Mine took 10 days, and I only live about an hour from the school... I think it takes them a few days before they actually send the letter out.
I really like the idea of a problem-based curriculum because I feel like it would make things easier to remember by associating new information w/a specific case. The only thing I don't really like is the small group thing, only because I study more efficiently on my own, and other people are usually a distraction for me. But then again, I might only feel that way because all my experience working in groups was in highschool/college, usually w/a bunch of idiots, and I would end up taking over and doing all the work myself... which I'm sure wouldn't even be an issue in med school, lol 😉
did you check your status EVERY day? cuz i think mine switched from "please allow 6-8 weeks..." to "being reviewed by adcom member" to "under review" within a matter of a few days. hope that helps!
how long did it take to change, from the interview date ?.
I interviewed last week, and my status was "being reviewed by an adcom member to present to admissions committee" this morning, but now says "under review by admissions committee". I thought they said that the committee meets on thursdays? Or maybe it was tuesdays. Anyway, its been a quick turnaround.
Wow...thats quick. I interviewed late Jan and still the interview message. I hope it will change soon. Good luck.
hmmm i though i checked it almost every day, i know for a fact on Monday it said "ur interview has been scheduled..." but i cant remember if i checked yesterday....anyways at least its going to committee, all be it much quicker than i expected...btw, someone asked me when i interviewed, i intervieweid in early november and got II in late septermber...so its been a long wait
Maybe they forgot to update it until last minute? I remember my status said "interview has been scheduled" for a while after my interview.
Do you remember for how long it said interview message after interview ?.
I was complete August 14th and still no word at all. When I called to inquire the person who answered was extremely rude.
I think it was around 7 weeks before it said "under review by a committee member." Try not to worry too much though... the time went by really quickly for me cause I made an effort not to look at the status page often. 😳
My file was complete in September, and I called recently to inquire about my status which says
Thank you for your application. Your file has been reviewed and will be re-evaluated later in the season for a final decision.
The guy was soo rude! He basically acted like I was a complete idiot for asking a question about my status, and dismissed me very quickly. So just a warning to all of you who have the same status - don't call and ask about it!

Let's stay positive! I see where you are coming from, and part of me feels the same way, but if there is one thing this process has taugth me it is that you never know what is going to happen. There is no point thinking about it too much or worrying that chances are bleak...we may get interviews tomorrow, and negativity just saps your energy.
I just got invited to an interview in Philadelphia, so I'm planning on sending Drexel an in the area e-mail. Has that worked for anyone? Are they still offering interviews, and are they only for waitlist spots (especially if I go in mid to late March)? I actually only became complete in December, so I don't have any kind of application status
It didn't work for me. They never replied to my email at all.
I also interviewed in late January. My status page says that my file will be going to committee shortly, and that no decision has been made yet.
i don't know if our stats are comparable, but my secondary was sent in early oct and complete in nov (had to wait on an LOR) and im still waiting (although less and less and less hopefully). at this point i'm almost ready to concede the loss because it doesnt sound as if there are many interview spots left. waiting is driving me nuts - im convinced there's something i've forgotten to do. not a fan of silent rejections, either.
Hey congrats, When did you interview and after how many days did the status change to "letter sent" ?.
