Means that your file is together, and it is ready for human eyes to look at it.

Did everyone who is complete/got an II/placed on hold get a complete email? My status changed to complete 3 weeks ago and yesterday I got a complete email. I am confused if I have been complete for 3 weeks or complete for a day😕
complete as of 7/25 and just got the on hold status
mine did this as well....Mine did this too...and I was complete 8/17. WHAT DOES IT MEAN???
for those of you on hold, if you don't mind me asking, what were your stats? Were they average or quite competent for the median at drexel?
3.8 gpa; 34 mcat = HOLD😕3.68/3.96, 36r
3.68/3.96, 36r
Does anyone know if it is beneficial to interview the earliest date possible for drexel? I'm trying to plan all my east coast interviews around the same time, would it be detrimental if I interviewed nov 10 vs. 1st week of october?
One thing you may want to consider is as the app season rolls along, it will take longer and longer for them to make decisions, given the holidays and developing backlog. People interviewing early last year (late Sept-early Oct) had heard as quickly as 4-6 weeks, but those interviewing Nov and beyond took the whole 6-8 or more. It won't affect your actual decision, but if you're impatient it's something to take into consideration. 🙂Does anyone know if it is beneficial to interview the earliest date possible for drexel?

I can't believe you guys are on hold with such good stats at Drexel...it just appears in comparison to other schools that its relatively "easier" to get into...i guess not. Wow
I got a hold at Drexel and I have 2 top 20 interviews. Guess it doesn't matter.
They don't like being treated as a safety school.

Drexel receives well over 10,000 apps and they interview 1,300. There's more to the decision process than GPA & MCAT. Every personal statement gets read, and the higher-ups in the admissions process at Drexel have said openly that it can make or break your chances of getting an interview. Also to be considered is that a lot of the process is arbitrary, who knows what little things may catch someones eye on one app but not on the next. The majority of applicants are going to have competitive stats, shadowing, research, and volunteer experience. Considering that so many people have those on their resume, I imagine it's quite a snooze to see over and over. Basically, I'm not so sure you're not getting an invite because they think you're using them as a "safety", though I wouldn't be surprised if there is some arbitrary cut-off in the head of some of the reviewers, but I highly doubt that a mid-30s score would be a cut-off. Ultimately, don't flatter yourself with thinking that they think you're too good. It could very well be that they think you actually aren't good enough.

3.5s 3.6c 29N - interview invite Oct. 24. Thank you for pointing out that it isnt necessarily stats, but ECs, writing ability, experiences, and LORs that can make you a good candidate.Drexel receives well over 10,000 apps and they interview 1,300.
