Uh, wut. Indeed, I changed my pw after I was told to by email. That pw proceeded to NOT work, and now my old one does. And the status/decision portal took "gno4ij14219i3-]4`3]`r,efjepiwhqofn" as my password, and worked.

Anyone have any idea how long it takes to receive the letter in the mail after your status changes on the portal?

Looking at last year's thread, the first letters were received on 10/21. It looked like it was a full 7 days for most applicants, though.

 

[Delix58]

Just spoke to a woman at the admissions office who claims that the decision letters have not been processed yet

did she say when we could expect them?

Nope

 

[minnie94]

Nope

okay 🙁 thanks!

 

[Delix58]

okay 🙁 thanks!

Part of me believes that she was just blowing smoke. I would encourage others to call and see if they could get a more helpful response from a different committee member

Premed neuroticism at its best. Why would she lie to you?

Don't bombard them with calls asking the same questions people, it's just going to make processing more slow for everyone.

Agreed-- just because a decision is made doesn't mean letters are sent the same day. Remember they're still interviewing and setting up everything that accompanies the acceptance (like scholarships??!!)

 

[Levrone]

where my bae at

 

[DoctorInVivo]

Interviewed 9/18... still says no decision has been made. Patience!!!

 

[Nyooo]

Hello, I sent an email asking about the letters and this is the reply I got:

"Currently all decisions are sent via postal mail and the letters are being mailed on Monday, October 26, 2015"

I hope that helps everyone who has been waiting!

 

[PSiloveU2013]

Just checked my status post interview (10/7) and got the "decision" status.

 

[PSiloveU2013]

Has anyone actually gotten the "final decision" status? Maybe they only have one post interview status update this year.

 

[BeachBaby]

I still have no decision complete since mid July Anyone else?

 

[UCGal2016]

All it says for me is:
Your file is and complete and will be reviewed.

It has been in this status since Aug. 12, 2015

 

[thatwouldbeanarchy]

Complete since 8/28 and nothing yet...

I'm jealous! I've been complete since August 5th, and I still have the "no decision" status. I guess I'll just keep waiting patiently for that "is and complete..."

 

[TheCruelOne]

I interviewed 10/7 and my status just changed to "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." Does anyone know anything about around how long it took for it to change from this to the "decision" status?

 

[ciestar]

Meeting any of you next wednesday?

It changes first to "Your file is currently under review by the admissions committee. No decision has yet been made regarding your admission status to Drexel University." It took a week to switch to that status (changed on 10/22). I am still waiting for a decision status.

 

[magictouch]

Any advice from those who've already interviewed here? I saw an earlier post mentioning that the faculty interview is open file, but is there more than one interview or just one member?

[DoctorInVivo]

Any idea of long it takes to get a decision after going to committee. Mine just updated today

They meet every Thursday. Not sure how long it takes

 

[XxThaDoggxX]

"Is and complete" since mid-July

No decision. Complete 8/28.

+1

I feel all your pains. Same here

 

[magictouch]

They said 6 weeks at my interview day.

 

[subliminal00]

status switched from "is and complete" to "no decision is currently available" -- does that mean a pre-II hold is coming?

That happened to me a week ago. I called admissions and the lady on the phone told me it means you still have to wait. I don't think she knew exactly what it meant

had the same thing happen to me today... did either of you find out anything?

 

[diaz0188]

Has anyone actually gotten the "final decision" status? Maybe they only have one post interview status update this year.

I think last year they changed the "final decision" status to a general "The Admissions Committee has reached a decision on your application. A letter will be mailed to your preferred address," which can mean accepted, waitlisted or rejected. My status changed to the decision status sometime last week. Good luck to everyone receiving letters in the next coming days! 🙂

 

[hiphiphurrah]

Arghh. Interviewed 10/5, and still only says that my interview has been scheduled.

 

[Thego2guy]

Arghh. Interviewed 10/5, and still only says that my interview has been scheduled.

Lol... submitted 8/6 and still no II...

Patience is key. You interviewed barely 3 weeks ago! Just putting things in perspective.

 

[hiphiphurrah]

True. I was just noticing that the 10/7 interviewees had at least been told the admin comm is reviewing their app, but no doubt I will know when I know 🙂.

[Laurenxxxx]

Mine went from "no decision is currently available" to "is and complete". According to email, I have been complete since early September.

I never got a complete email, and although I know that they have everything, I've been "no decision is currently available" since early August.

 

[MM7]

I interviewed here on 10/2. Since then, my application decision popup page reads "Thank you for visiting Drexel's Queen Lane campus. We hope that your day at Drexel answered all of your questions about our programs. Continue to check this site for status updates. Please email or call us with any questions." I have never had any change in status. Is this normal?

 

[Delix58]

Accepted via phone call yesterday !! Status changed to "a decision has been made" on 10/15
