+1. Complete 7/29. According to last year's thread, it isn't a rejection, as there were a few people who did receive IIs in the spring. Guess I don't have to worry about this school now for a while.

No email, just a message on the portal.

just checked, and my app is on hold too! good to know there's still a possibility though.

Email the coordinator. there are also instructions in your email that will take u to a website with directions
 
I'm very late to the party, but I also got the hold status. I have no idea when it happened because I hadn't been checking my portal very frequently.
 
Hi everyone, is Drexel receptive to update letters (not LOI) but new employment/activities? I tried to search this thread and previous threads but couldn't find an answer. Thanks!
 
Interview invite on my portal today. Not sure when it changed, as I hadn't check in at least 2 weeks. I will not be interviewing. How can I withdraw my application on the portal? Will I have to email the admissions office to withdraw?
 
Not completely sure when my status changed (probably sometime within this last week), but I am on hold for spring re-evaluation. Complete 8/28.
 
Status change today to "Your file is currently under review by the admissions committee. No decision has yet been made regarding your admission status to Drexel University."
 
Where are you guys checking your app status? All I see when I log on and click on Status/Decision is "Complete" and "No decision is currently available. Please continue checking this website for updates." Is there another link where the under review status shows up? Thanks in advance for your help!
 
Have many people actually gotten rejections pre-interview or is the "we will review your application again in the spring" basically a rejection?
 
Not sure if anyone knows or whether this is a dumb question, but I'm guessing the waitlist here is ranked? Is one's rank on the waitlist moreso determined by the applicant's stats or by when we were put on the waitlist? (Now that I'm typing this out, I'm realizing it'd probably be dumb to rank people just based on the month during which they were waitlisted. I guess I'm just hoping for some kind of indication that I might come off the waitlist. 😛)

Nope, that's all there is.
 
Is there anyone who hasn't received a decision yet more than 8 weeks after interviewing? I remember them saying they'd send out a decision between 6-8 weeks, but nothing about longer than 8 weeks. I wonder if the holidays are affecting this in any way...
 
tfw applied September 8th
no decision is currently available, please keep checking this site for updates.
Ahh, drexel.
Never change.

call them!
 
complete 8/28..still at "no decision". Anyone know if Drexel rejects during the app cycle? I highly doubt my app has not been reviewed at this point...so taking the no decision as a bad sign.

Complete the same day, but a little more optimistic lol. No news is good news still. However it's almost 2016, which is a little unnerving.
 
Spring hold today. Complete mid-September. LizzyM ~65.
At least it's not an outright rejection, but it's a hold nonetheless...
:arghh:
 
does anyone know when exactly they start pulling people off of spring hold?

Waitlist friend! Are you thinking of sending Drexel any kind of letter of interest? I've been looking at older threads and it seemed like a few people who were placed on the waitlist emailed Drexel a little update/letter of interest. I'm thinking about doing the same. This was honestly the school I was most eager about on my list. 🙁

I was placed on spring hold awhile back, pre-II. Not talking about the waitlist post-II.

I just figured if they're going to still consider the people they put on hold for spring review, it has to be in the earlier part of 2016 if they are going to extend last minute IIs?

Last year it was late February I believe. Also on hold :/
 
I'd like to talk a little bit more about Spring hold. Is this something they send to all applications because the staff are going on winter break or they sincere when they state that they have looked at our applications and don't want to reject us yet? I'm trying to gauge if there is any continued interest in my application from Drexel and I was placed on Spring hold.

I was put on it months ago, so it's not related to winter break.

Have they flat out rejected anyone, pre interview, yet?
