Accepted! Just got letter in mail today

Congratulations!!! 🙂 Can I ask when you interviewed and also do you know when they sent your letter out? I'm still waiting for my lettter!! 😱

This wait is so nerve wracking!!! ahhhh!

 

[p3anut]

Congrats! Still waiting for a letter here.

 

[abruzz75]

Got my acceptance in the mail today too. Interviewed last week of September.

 

[p3anut]

Do those of you who got letters happen to be close to the school? Or early in the alphabet? Yes, I'm freaking out.

I live in Philly.

 

[p3anut]

You're awesome. Thanks 🙂

Hm. My mail goes to Lancaster. Wonder if that's close enough. My parents aren't picking up their phones!

 

[rubsomedirtinit]

Anyone else having recurring dreams/nightmares of finally opening up their letter? This really cannot be healthy.

 

[giants25]

Just got my acceptance packet in the mail today. Most likely withdrawing my spot though.

I live in Boston btw.

 

[JustinCoe]

So they are sending packets to those accepted?

 

[MedPR]

Your file is currently under review by the admissions committee. No decision has yet been made regarding your admission status to Drexel of University.

Interviewed 9/28.

Congrats. What does your status say?

 

[giants25]

Final decision and correspondence will be sent

 

[p3anut]

Final decision and correspondence will be sent

Is this status the same as the "final decision... letter will be mailed?" Or are there two different statuses?

 

[Doctor Strange]

Still no status change. Interviewed 9/19. Awkward.

You still have the "interview has been scheduled" status?

Okay, obviously. Pointing it out so an edit can be made.

Hoping the school survives the storm. Also hoping the mail gets through.

Monday 10/29 interviews have officially been canceled due to the hurricane.

 

[MTG023]

Did the school notify you about the cancellation or did you contact them? Im supposed to be flying there on tuesday for the wednesday interview and I have not heard anything yet...

We were informed by email. It could be shaky, and I would try calling admissions if I were in your shoes.

I never got the email! Did they give you options for rescheduling?

Anyway you could copy the email here so I could read it, please?

Did you happen to check the status of your flight? Flights are being cancelled over here. I was supposed to fly into PHL Tuesday morning too for an interview also on Wednesday but got nervous and flew in to PHL last night. Anyway you could change your flight to today? It would probably be your best bet.

Good luck to you and be safe traveling! Hopefully our interviews are still on for Wednesday and I get to meet you.

 

[theclem]

does anyone know if Tuesday interviews are still going on? why has the school not contacted us about this yet......

 

[121487]

I'm thinking they aren't going on... "Weather Advisory - Classes Cancelled and University Closed for Monday and Tuesday. For more information visit drexel.edu".

 

[Doctor Strange]

Pretty much all Philly schools have cancelled Monday and Tuesday classes. This is really throwing off my exam schedule. Ugh.

 

[Girly X]

So I guess no one will be there tomorrow morning to respond to our phone calls or emails regarding Wednesday interviews??

Did you get an email saying anything about cancellations for Wednesdays interview? (If you did, what did it say?) I haven't and I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything.

I feel like we should be fine-I've seen a few places online that normal business hours resume on Wednesday.

I have a wednesday interview as well. For wednesday they'll probably update drexelmed.edu ahead of time if they're closed.

I think it'll be good by then, except if there's catastrophic damage to the school.

Haven't received an email about Wed, just thinking power outages/damage may prevent things from going back to normal for a few days after Sandy passes. Good idea on checking the website. Will keep doing that.

 

[batndz]

Oh yeah, and stay safe everyone!

 

[Ellie Arroway]

Withdrew my app here. One less in the pile. Good luck everyone!

Seems like a lot of 9/24 people are hearing back... What about us 9/19 people?

 

[bananapancake33]

I hope you hear back soon! Maybe next week? I also interviewed on 9/24 and heard back (accepted!!) on the 27th.

 

[p3anut]

I'm a 9/19 person. I don't have a letter, but I do have a "final decision" status. I'm also in VA, and I'm concerned this storm has messed up the already way-too-slow mail. We don't even have a mail-sort facility here anymore.

So far all the "final decision" statuses have been acceptances.

I was supposed to fly in tomorrow afternoon for my Wednesday interview but US Airlines has grounded all of their flights to Philadelphia for today and tomorrow. The admissions office isn't open which isn't surprising, so I was wondering if anyone else is running into this problem via a different airline or if their flight is still being scheduled? It looks like I won't be able to call and reschedule until the morning of the interview either (of which will be completely last minute =/)

Unfortunate, but I wouldn't worry too much. The hurricane obviously complicates things for everyone. Just stay on top of it and you'll be able to reschedule. Good luck!

 

[MTG023]

Im supposed to interview wednesday as well but my flight for tomorrow was canceled last night (AIRTRAN). Ive emailed them and called them to let them know I need to reschedule but no one has gotten back to me. The school was shutdown so I doubt anyone was there. Im sure they will get back to us when they open up the school again. Right now there's nothing we can do but wait it out.

Guys, the school doesn't really have a choice other than to be understanding - just get in touch on Wednesday morning to reschedule and you'll be fine. Safe travels!
