bring a book or pray for an interesting group of interviewees. Most of the day is spent in this little conference room waiting for your 30 min interview 👎

They leave you in this conference room to write your essay and browse their website on a computer in the room - I looked up info on my interviewer, which really helped, because she was a researcher and I was able to prepare some questions specific to her research ahead of time.

 

[PinkIvy08]

Ooo, that's nice of them. They did not give us computer access on my day 🙁 That would've been nice.

What was the essay topic?

 

[jtink]

What was the essay topic?

there seem to be several of them.. they pass out a stack of colored sheets (each with a different question) and you get whatever topic/question you happen to take. i think they're all sort of ethics questions.

Pre-interview status changed from no decision to "Thank you for your application. Your file has been reviewed and will be re-evaluated later in the season for a final decision."

Guess that means no interview invite for me 🙁 oh well.

So Drexel has mailed out my rejection. I say that because I doubt it's an acceptance or waitlist because everything went so poorly here 🙁

November 12th

The date doesn't seem to have much to do with when you get a response though (noting that guy with a 15 week later response).

I'm also out of state so they have a pretty low acceptance for out of state (for a private school) in such a populated area.

 

[lstone13]

So they finally looked at my application after 4 months and put me on hold...

Don't sweat at it (although I know its easier said than done). You don't know if your rejected until you get the letter - right now your odds are exactly the same as they were the second you stepped out of the interview room.

They did the same with me..🙁

 

[OneMCATAway]

anyone get out of hold here yet? (pre-interview!!)

EDIT: i mean the "we will re-evaluate your file later in the cyle" status 😉

 

[pky463]

Anyone STILL have "no decision available"? complete mid-september here. They've forgotten about me.... 😕

my interview went horrid and I got accepted I wouldnt worry too much. It was my worst interview ive been on this whole cycle and my interviewer didnt seem like he cared at all about what I said. That being said I withdrew anyways dont want to go to drexel but hopefully someone gets my spot 🙂.

 

[Zona Pellucida]

are u supposed to get some kind of email or status change msg after an interview?

 

[jtink]

no, not an e-mail, but your status on the website should change to something like "Your file is currently under review by the admissions committee".

 

[vfabrizio]

does anyone know where to mail a thank-you letter to our interviewer???

 

[Appless]

does anyone know where to mail a thank-you letter to our interviewer???

teh general admin office address. Its on the website when you log in. Kareem or someone will forward it to the right person.

 

[hikerfan]

Has anyone who interviewed 11/16 or after that date received a decision yet?

 

[sportsfreak]

i interviewed on 11/16th and no decision so far, I have a feeling this thursday is gona be the 11/16th week

 

[hikerfan]

Let's hope so, this waiting is a pain.

 

[Zona Pellucida]

My status finally changed.

'Thank you for your application. Your file has been reviewed and will be re-evaluated later in the season for a final decision. '

Am I done here?

I'm in the same boat - no clue.

 

[call me x]

I'm in the same boat - no clue.

the infamous hold message....i've had it for quite some time...apparently it's possible to get an interview after having it, but who really knows?

 

[The Poet Sings]

did they email you to tell you your status had changed? or did you just find out from checking obsessively (which i would be doing, too, but their website is so annoying that it makes it hard to be obsessive)?

 

[softmed]

I interviewed earlier than that and I'm still waiting to see if I'm rejected. They seem to review applications pretty randomly. My status has changed though, so I'm waiting to see if I have a decision in the mail.

 

[Zona Pellucida]

Sadly, yes.

I didn't get an email. I just check it obsessively lol

dudes...i interviewed back in like...october. wtf. still nothing.

 

[herewego]

If they put you on hold POST INTERVIEW, does it say anything on the status page?

On +10 weeks post interview, under review by committee.

 

[redrower]

yea it says its still under review...i just need a decision. like seriously

 

[jtink]

yea it says its still under review...i just need a decision. like seriously

saaammeee hereeee!! agh. i dunno if this makes you feel any better but.. two years ago, I was "under review" for several months ... when i finally decided to call and ask about it, it turned out that my interviewer was away ..

 

[redrower]

oh wow...maybe ill call. cause this is a bit ridiculous.

 

[redrower]

just called. lady said that those who interviewed in the middle of october are expected to hear within 1-2 weeks and that this was because of the holidays (apparently they didnt meet for like..3 weeks.)

in case anyone is in the same boat as me

 

[softmed]

It's been about a week an a half since my status changed "letter will be sent." If I don't get the decision letter by Sat, I'm probably going to call and ask what's going on around Monday.

 

[jhernan2]

quick question for those who were accepted. Did any of you have really short faculty interviews. I had mine at hahnemann and the doctor seemed like a nice guy. but he asked me maybe 4-5 questions and the interview was over. he wished me luck, and my student interview went great but this is making me pretty nervous.
