Does Drexel send out pre-interview rejections or only holds?

I'm fairly certain they do... at least according to the rejection thread.

Oh dear, there's a *rejection* thread out there? *shakes head* What has this world come to?

Complete 9/11. Anyone with a similar timeline hear anything yet?

 

[nabilesmail]

complete 9/26 and nope

 

[courtnes]

Thanks for your input! Would you happen to know how receptive the school is to post-interview updates?

Very, but if you want a confirmation it's been added to your file, you will need to follow up. 😳

 

[stacey917]

Hi guys,
I'm a current first year at DUCOM. It's an amazing place to be! If anyone has any questions, feel free to message me!
Also, drexel usually takes 8 to 10 weeks to get back with decisions!

I emailed a post-interview update letter to them and it showed up in my status page the next day.

I'm at 5 weeks post-interview... Not as long as the rest of you guys but it feels like forever.

Has anyone who interviewed 10/3 received a decision yet? Anyone interview on or before 10/3 who hasn't received a decision yet?

Got the status change last Friday, and I've been waiting near my mailbox all week like a lunatic. I'm being extra neurotic because this is my first post-interview decision

ACCEPTED! Woo!!!!

 

[Doctor Strange]

ACCEPTED! Woo!!!!

Congrats! 👍

 

[JustinCoe]

Rejected. Don't understand why, I thought the interview went well. Oh well, I just wish it didn't take them 12 weeks just to say no.

Good luck to everyone still waiting/trying and congrats to those who got accepted.

 

[Mosa]

Accepted but will be withdrawing soon

 

[WhovianDO]

I've been reading past posts and it doesn't seem like there is much movement from the pre-interview hold list. There has been some success with sending in a loi.

What do you guys think? Give it a shot? Or should I wait until January or later?

 

[thecurtainwith]

Has anyone had luck with student hosting here?

Final decision or decision?

I interviewed 10/17 and I got the " A final decision has been reached and a letter will be mailed to your preferred address. " status change last week whenever I posted.

So that means I was either rejected or accepted? (since "decision" [only] = waitlist?)

when will my mail get here!??!?!?!??!?!? dying.

 

[RNAB]

when did you interview?? i'm waiting and waiting for that 'decision made' status.

Anyone know how Drexel is with financial aid?

My student interviewer stated there really is not much in the way of financial aid from Drexel but that is only n=1.

For those of you who have received a final decision in the mail, is it a large packet for acceptance and small letter for rejection? I am trying to brace myself for my coming decision.

 

[IRASNA]

Waitlist letter in the mail today. Deciding whether or not I want to accept. My interview day was the opposite of positive

Can't speak about rejections/waitlists, but an acceptance does come in a large letter (8 1/2 x 11)

On a completely irrelevant note, happy birthday! Mine is also 12/14... If it wasnt obvious.

 

[thecurtainwith]

HAS anyone been successful in finding a student host?

 

[km1865]

First acceptance! Woot!!

 

[thecurtainwith]

has anyone been able to secure a student host for drexel?

if not, where did you stay / what hotel?

I stayed at the holiday inn express and took the train (5 minute walk to the station through a good part of town) back and forth for four or five bucks round trip

Just out of curiosity. Has anyone ever requested a second interview following a rejection? Or maybe, requested information on why they were rejected if they felt an interview went really well?

I am in the position. It took 13 weeks to get a decision. How can I be accurately represented to the committee if they don't even remember who I am? I really like this school and align with their mission statement.
