Members don't see this ad.

The "display secondary application status" link will now say "schedule your interview date".

Where do you see "display secondary application status?" On my portal after clicking "View Status / Decision" you have to re-login, then click processed application, then click "To View Your Decision Click Here" where is says "No decision is currently available."

Is there a different spot for "display secondary application status" or is it the same thing?

Oops I'm sorry, I was thinking of Jeff's app. Where it once said "view your decision," it will now say "schedule your appointment".

[flatbear]

silence since july

yup, file is complete, decision pending

 

[VegasPreMed]

Hold for re-review in Spring. Complete 8/20.

 

[musicalfeet]

UGH hold for re-review.

 

[fondofhats]

Are these holds pre-interview?

My status has been the exact same since I submitted in august. "is and complete". I assume I'll be getting a hold or rejection soon

 

[BeachBaby]

When I emailed to withdraw they wrote back (automatic reply email) saying something along the lines of be patient they have a lot of apps

 

[thatwouldbeanarchy]

Pre-II rejection - status just changed to "A decision has been reached on your application and a letter mailed to your preferred address." Complete 8/28. Honestly, I'm just glad to hear back. Kind of ridiculous that it took 14 weeks for them to reject me.

 

[Nervus Terminalis]

For those with re-review in Spring, is this pre-II or post-II? If post, then when was your interview? Thanks!

Edit: Realizing these were probably pre-II status updates...

 

[ReadyforMed]

Just got the hold too. We got this y'all. I believe in us.

 

[sandyman237]

Still at no decision is available since 8/23.

[bshap000]

On hold also. At least it's not a rejection I guess

 

[wagonwheel23]

On hold.

 

[theguardsman]

Le hold tambien

 

[fun_guy]

complete aug 23, saw II on portal on nov 11, got the II email two days later on nov 13

 

[thatwouldbeanarchy]

Strangely, my status went from is "is and complete" to "a decision has been reached and a letter mailed..." and then BACK to "is and complete." (Pre-II)

Random glitch? Has this happened to anyone else? Definitely not getting my hopes up at this point.

 

[maybedeadcat]

On hold. Complete 8/5

 

[Master3930]

Still no decision. Lol so weird

 

[coldcase331]

On hold as well, complete 7/23

 

[JackieJormpJormp]

Still no decision. Lol so weird

+1, this is so bizarre! I just want to hear something, anything!

 

[allanMED15]

Is and complete for so long.

[JackieJormpJormp]

With the huge wave of holds these past few days, I'm hanging on to hope, until proven otherwise, that a lack of a status change is a good thing!
Also, for everyone placed on hold, I believe there were a handful of people last cycle who got late-in-the-season interviews after the hold status so it's not necessarily over yet. Drexel seems to have an unusually long interview season. Good luck to all of you still hanging in there!

 

[CyrilFiggis]

Is and complete for so long.

[parachichi]

"Is and complete" since mid-August!

 

[thatwouldbeanarchy]

Still back at "is and complete" after a brief change to "a letter has been mailed" on Friday...?!?! Did they throw my application in the trash and then go back and fish it out? So confused, Drexel. So confused.

[mayo33]

II on 12/2! OOS, LizzyM 69, complete end of Aug/early Sept. Excitemeeeeeeeeent!

 

[XxThaDoggxX]

On hold til spring! Complete mid-August. Here's the complete wording of the status: "Thank you for your application. Your file has been reviewed by a member of our Admissions Committee. While we have decided not to invite you for an interview at this time, we would like to re-evaluate your application again in the spring should interview spots remain. We have many completed applications to review and wish to hold on a final decision on your application until later in the cycle. Again, thank you for your interest in Drexel College of Medicine. "

This...Don't know when I received said status as I don't check the portal daily like they want you to

when were you complete?

 

[dncr1199]

Was placed on spring hold. Not sure if this has been asked before... But does anyone know if Drexel is receptive to 'in the area' emails?

Thanks! 🙂

 

[mep100]

Rejected via snail mail on Friday post-interview. Have no idea where I went wrong, I guess I'm just not the type of person they are looking for. Just goes to show no matter how good/bad you think you interviewed that it's not the only deciding factor and doesn't always reflect the interviewer's views either. Luckily have already been accepted to a couple other places, but much farther from home.

Sorry to hear that, but congrats on the other acceptances - most of us are still fighting tooth and nail for an acceptance anywhere. Drexel, who needs 'em! (I do...) Do you mind sharing when you interviewed?

 

[Hokiehi]

On hold for re-review. Complete 7/27 ish. Does this even mean anything though? I thought Drexel sent out the vast majority of their rejections at the end of the cycle. Oh well, at least I'm no longer is and complete. Now it's more like "is and.....?"

Was this an email or was it on the portal?

[mhorn01]

Still at "No decision" since August...

 

[mazarine]

Got the hold status sometime in the last few days. Here's the message:

Thank you for your application. Your file has been reviewed by a member of our Admissions Committee. While we have decided not to invite you for an interview at this time, we would like to re-evaluate your application again in the spring should interview spots remain. We have many completed applications to review and wish to hold on a final decision on your application until later in the cycle. Again, thank you for your interest in Drexel College of Medicine.

 

[CyrilFiggis]

Is.




and.





complete.



¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[xhilarationox]

Have this: Thank you for your interest in Drexel University College of Medicine. A decision has been reached on your application and a letter mailed to your preferred address.

but never interviewed, guessing it's a rejection? Why don't they say it on the portal?

 

[whitepanda]

My status changed to "reached a decision" on Friday, crossing my fingers, still waiting for that letter. Does the phone call come first if it is an acceptance?

 

[akl54]

Has anyone gotten any confirmation on the deposit check they sent??

 

[PSiloveU2013]

Check the portal, it should mention their receipt of your deposit.
