not true in my case, its been 4 weeks.
Two weeks ago (I think?)
I was put on hold first for a week or so, then status changed to invite
congrats 🙂 so you had the "we will re-review your application later" msg before your interview?

yup, dont lose hope all you people on hold!
Very strange Never got an email inviting me for an interview, but when I checked the status page it said "Schedule Interview". No congratulations, no indication at all that I had been invited. It was almost like they just let anyone schedule an interview. But I'm happy.
Congrats! Same here. I checked my status update and had an interview invite. They also said that if we hadn't gotten an email with an invite, they were planning to do it later-- so if we continued to wait, it would eventually come. =) However, I decided to go ahead and schedule it, and I promptly received a confirmation email.
Maybe this is their way of weeding out certain applicants. It's not really fair, though, since most schools (at least the ones that I applied to) do not even have a status page.
Mine was marked complete the day after I submitted it.
You will get an email later even if the status page changes.

anyone else not have the secondary. i work like right near there... so i guess i could just go up and ax
As far as I know, interviews start next week. Bring on the sea of suits!
Yes.
Seriously?
I submitted September 8th (the day I received the secondary) and I am still not complete. Just get my LOR off AMCAS Drexel!
Hi guys,
I have an interview next month at another PA school. I also received an invite from Drexel but earliest was Nov. Do you think I can call Drexel and move the invite? Has anyone done it, I don't want them to think negatively that I'm interested in other schools more than theres.

Also, anyone have the US World Report data on how many are accepted from interview? Not matriculated but accepted.
Best of luck guys
Best of luck guys
I submitted mine yesterday and was complete today!!
I was complete back on 8/5 and my status still says "no decision available". I guess that's better than a hold or rejection but seeing all these quick turnarounds is making me really anxious!
I'm worried without an essay on the secondary they're wondering why in the world some random girl from Texas would apply to Drexel and don't think I'm serious about attending. 🙁
*trying to be patient*

What! Should I email?
Its a bit neurotic since its only been like a week and a half but if everyone is getting complete the day after...wtf?
I submitted 9-15 and was complete today (9-17).
I submitted yesterday. While I haven't gotten a complete email, my status says I'm complete. Maybe you should try checking your status page if you haven't received a emailed status update in a long while? They don't make it obvious on the page... look closely.
Yeah I would call or email.
Drexel is mean on the phone...id give it till 3 tomorrow at the earliest before calling...thats when i plan to call.
i think these ppl see the first page with the 2nd link and think theyre complete, but if you go to the page with the link that says "view decision" it says "Status: Incomplete" for me, even though the first page says they got everything....its a bit strange.
They interviewed 1331 last year, 709 were accepted, and 256 enrolled.

That's pretty good... more than 50% chance now for those with an interview there.
i just checked..i was marked complete today.

I have been thinking about the acceptance rates after interviews for different schools. Many of the schools I applied to are close to 50%. However, I think that an earlier interview date is an even higher chance. Especially since I am sure that some people who apply to these schools as safety schools decide to blow off the interview when they realize they have like 10 other ones from top tier schools.
It seems that most schools are offering interviews to the best candidates first. However, I think drexel is a little different because I remember someone complaining about not getting an interview after they got one from Penn and Duke and such.
Anyways so what I am saying is that for those of us who really want to go to this school, I think that we have a good chance of getting in as long as we don't blow the interview.
Good luck everyone

Thanks for the numbers. Aah..i still feel insecure. If only it was around 70% acceptance rate...sigh, wishful thinking. 🙁
Contest it.
Have you tried faxing or emailing them your receipt as proof?
Yeah I did that Friday afternoon, but no response.
