That's strange because I interviewed 10/31 and mine has already been sent to committee...

I think it depends when your interviewer submits their evaluation. I interviewed in between you both, and I've been under review by the committee for about two weeks now.

 

[Shenanigan]

There's an essay? Lovely.

Thanks for sharing... I probably would have been blindsided by that one. Guess I need to start prepping for mine next week.

 

[TT22]

drexel is agonizing i've been waiting to go to committee for weeks. glad i am not alone but still lets gooooooooooooooooo interviewed mid october

 

[pattycake24]

Boo. Re-review hold. It's like a soft rejection, isn't it? =(

 

[Maxine450]

The essay is really not a big deal. Like, really. It's basic, everyday ethics that if you're not a robot, you'll know how to answer.

Also would it be terrible neurotic/annoying to go to the admis office in person (i live close) and express my undying cant-live-without-you interest?

Yes, it would be.

 

[batndz]

Yes, it would be.

Yes it would be terrible. I think going in with a bouquet of roses and a string quartet would be more appropriate.

 

[Mjolner]

Mariachi band.

Hey, I like roses.

complete 8/23 and still says file "will be reviewed." Anybody else in the same boat? Or should I give them a call today?

I was complete before you and I had that status for ages... I stopped checking entirely and then out of the blue... ii


I guess I wrote that to give you 😍 but honestly it doesn't tell you squat.

stats please?

Interview on Monday, and so many mixed feelings. But I'm mostly excited that they extended an invitation 😀
Anyone else going to be there?

 

[jshei0625]

Anyone that was under review by the committee, check your status....Mine just changed to a final decision has been made

I'm still under review... how long were you under review by the committee?

 

[jshei0625]

I think I was a little more than two weeks.

Gotcha. Thanks, and good luck!

A final decision has been made. It's been ten weeks and two days. About time, Drexel.

Anyone go from pre-interview hold to reject or interview? I'm curious as to how long this purgatory will last.

I haven't checked my status page in a week or so (but i am on hold), but doesn't it say they re-review in the spring? I remember thinking I wouldn't get a change in my decision for a while.

 

[Goobs]

if my status says just "a decision been reached" and not final decision, then it's a waitlist right?

Unfortunately

Yeah, they do say that; but do they mean it? LoL

 

[virtuoso735]

Still on second status...wtf Drexel.

Which one?

 

[virtuoso735]

Which one?

Post-interview file will shortly be sent to the admissions committee.

 

[fox916]

Post-interview file will shortly be sent to the admissions committee.

If it makes you feel better, my status hasn't changed from "Your interview has been scheduled. ... " since I interviewed 8 wks ago. 🙁

wow.. Did you call them?

 

[vb2012]

I don't think those statuses are all that accurate. I called Drexel and was told the the committee has my application (post-interview) but my status is still "Your interview has been scheduled..."

 

[fox916]

wow.. Did you call them?

The admissions office lady tole me the status will change after the committee makes a decision and so I shouldn't be worried. Looking at some of the above posts, I'm expecting to wait another 2 wks before I hear back. Interviewed early Oct.

I'll try my best to not think about Drexel for a while.

 

[OwlPower22]

I'm in the same boat, guys. Interviewed early October, still has the "interview scheduled" status as of now. Hang tight!

 

[gbc2013]

Status changed today to "a final decision has been reached." Interviewed on 10/8! SO NERVOUS!!!

 

[Maxine450]

I interviewed on 10/22 and it's still the same committee message.

 

[virtuoso735]

Glad to know I'm not the only one waiting for a post-interview decision. Drexel has the least organized admissions office of all the ones I've dealt with, not a surprise given their unstructured interview day.

 

[iryoo85]

I finally got the "A final decision has been reached and a letter will be mailed to your preferred address" message on my status page.

Anyone know how long before you actually find out your status?

1 week? Depends how fast your mail goes.

 

[JustinCoe]

Got a "your application is with the committee" status on Friday. Interviewed 9-19. Status to "with a committee member" 2 weeks ago. Hope to get a decision in the next week.

Good luck to everyone with a final decision status

Wow, you're probably going to be at like twelve or thirteen weeks before you get a physical decision in the mail.

Why they took so long for us 9/19-ers is beyond me.

 

[rrr89]

Did all 9/19ers have to wait this long? I am one of them and in the same boat as you with the final decision status. Think my interview went well and everything but its hard not feeling a bit pessimistic since it took soooo long.

Okay, so that makes three of us then? Interesting. Maybe they forgot about us until two weeks ago.

 

[JustinCoe]

I hope their delayed response is just them forgetting, not a sign of an impending rejection. :-/

Props for the awesomely anachronistic link. I never would've thought I'd see someone on SDN know, let alone like, S&G. Word.

 

[sbuxaddict]

Interviewed here on Monday. The more I learned about the school, the more I liked it (especially after talking with my student interviewer).
Now to wait..

Best of luck to everyone still waiting (pre or post-interview). It's really an awesome school with a lot to offer.

 

[bk9iq]

"Your file is complete and will be reviewed" status showed up under "View decision"! before it used to say no decision yet or something like that. Is that normal?

Hi guys, when you pick a date for your interview from their online calendar can you still go back to the calendar and see if earlier dates have opened?

No, not that I recall.

You cannot, but if you would like to find an earlier date, I know people have called the admissions office directly in the past to schedule it.
