That's ok, the fact that you know the right answer is awesome. I guess we shouldn't expect updates until Friday then.

Yeah the update is usually done on Friday or the following Monday.
 
I'm guessing no one with the "decision" status ever received news other than WL? Ugh

Actual mail. Quite a rare breed of mail these days. I think it has been put on the endangered mail list.

Hahaha, I actually love getting snail mail that you're not expecting. It's like getting a little surprise in the mail box. Waiting on a letter or package can be the worst though.
 
moved my interview from oct 25 to nov 8th, goodluck people
 
Does anybody know if you can cancel your scheduled appt and check for an earlier interview date? Or do you need to call to see if anybody has cancelled?

Did anyone who went under review on 8/21 heard anything yet??

Nope, haha. I'm pretty sure the "Your file is complete and will be reviewed" status is a total lie and actually means, "Your file is complete and we threw it in the garbage. Sorry not sorry."

Hahahahahaha exactly how I feel. I don't know why I keep checking.
 
Hmm.. I've been complete since 08/30 and my status stilll says my application is complete and will be reviewed. Anyone in the same boat??
 
remember it is only October. The schools will stop getting new applications soon and should be getting to the ones that were complete earlier that were not reviewed. I think I saw someone say they got rejected from Drexel so they do reject you before interview. I guess under review is better than that at least.

Also keep in mind that Drexel gets >12,000 applications per year. As a result, everything takes a lot longer than most other schools. With Drexel, unless you have been rejected, there is still hope.
 
Does anyone know if Drexel ever mails decisions before a status is updated? I interviewed sept 19th and it still says interview scheduled.

Not sure what their method is. I interviewed on Oct 3rd though and my status has been "Your file is currently under review by a member of the admissions committee and will be sent to committee shortly. No decision has yet been made regarding your admission status to Drexel University." for awhile. I would expect yours to be updated to something like that by now.
 
II on Monday. Probably wont take then up on their offer though. Too expensive.

I interviewed 10/3 and still have the "your interview has been scheduled" status. I wonder why they get to some people before others.

That is kind of strange... I interviewed after you and mine says "Your file is currently under review by a member of the admissions committee and will be sent to committee shortly. No decision has yet been made regarding your admission status to Drexel University."

I hope they haven't forgotten about or lost my file.

Anyone else interview on or before 10/3 who still has the "interview has been scheduled" status?
 
Hey guys, I have been complete for up to 2 months.

My application status is Thank you for applying to Drexel University. A letter will be sent to your preferred address regarding status information.

This changed from no decision has been made.

Mine was like that last year for a while, but then I had two status changes in one week (with committee-->final decision). Just be patient. Some people will know quickly, others will have to wait a little while. There are a lot of people they have to cover.
 
I'm being a little SDN-neurotic waiting for this letter, but does anyone know, or has anyone seen anyone get rejected this early in the cycle after receiving the "final decision" status?

Because I'm thinking that, unless you were absolutely horrible on interview day, they would at least waitlist and not reject. Does what I'm saying make sense?

I sent an in-the-area email today for December...does anyone know if they're responsive to these? I sent a PDF application update along with it.
 
How long did it take to receive a secondary application from Drexel from the time you were verified by AMCAS?

This is probably pretty variable, especially now that it's late in the cycle. It took about a month for me. You're gonna have to be patient for this school.
 
Still on
Your file is currently under review by the admissions committee. No decision has yet been made regarding your admission status to Drexel of University.

I am hoping what you're saying is true.
 
Anyone else interviewing next week on the31st?? It looks like a massive hurricane is going to hit the middle atlantic..... I really hope it'll be over by wednesday..
 
Does Drexel not send pre-interview rejects? It seems like they are putting people whom they don't want to interview "on hold" instead of rejecting them upfront. Any thoughts anyone?

FWIW, I've been complete since first week of september and been on "review status" for about 3-4 weeks now. I haven't even gotten the "on hold" status either. I wish they would just reject already so we could move on! 🙁
 
Congrats! I'm still waiting for the status update, but I hope it will be soon.
