any updates on when they will begin to send out acceptances? they had originally said after Jan 15

Did they say this on your interview day? I don't recall them giving any timeline.

I don't recall when and from whom exactly, but I most definitely remember during my interview that someone officially said 3rd-ish week of January to early February was when they would start making phone calls.

Edit. Super nervous for these upcoming weeks. >.<

Hi all! This question is more targeted to current students: I interviewed previously and am anxiously waiting to here back (like most). I have a letter of interest-do you recommend waiting a few weeks for a decision or sending out the letter?

When I received the phone call for the interview I was told they would not begin reviewing applications for acceptance until they finished interviewing everyone. It could have been a fib to make me say yes, but by that statement, I assume they won't begin until the first week of February.

 

[benched4good]

Dang I thought I was the last date (2/11) haha. When is the last date of interviews?

I'm not sure when the last interview day is. Try calling the office and speaking with Patricia.

 

[Blahmeh]

The suspense is killing me for these 3 up coming weeks. What's worse is that they don't let you know about waitlists or rejections until the very last min. >.<

[SaiyanSammy]

Excited to say I'm interviewing here on Valentine's Day! Anyone else in my group?

Yep. I'm on your day. Have people already been accepted at this school? No one's posted here saying either way.

 

[JCeee]

Does anyone know if acceptances have started to send out? Or when they will begin?!

Really? On my interview day they told us acceptances will begin to go out end of feb/early march.

Yeah that's what I remember. They said late February/early march or after all interviews are completed.

But I had the same interview day as @BecauseImHappy lol so extra confused

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. They did say that they're waiting for interviews to be over. If I'm not mistaken there are 2 more interviews days remaining.

I don't think anyone who interviewed will be "rejected". After the class is full, everyone else is put on the wait list.

 

[flipflop52]

Does anyone know how many seats are left in the class? I heard that they started giving out acceptances

I did get accepted this past week by phone call and email. I can't be any happier. It's unreal. I've dreamed of this moment for years now. Didn't think it would ever happen though. I love Drew.
I remember them saying they will accept a few in late January but mostly in late February/march. So I do not know how many people have been accepted.

Did they offer you any scholarships? Someone told me that usually when they call you early they also call you with a scholarship offer?

 

[kidmoreno]

Congrats, that's so exciting I'm really happy someone heard good news. Thanks for sharing, I'll be keeping my phone off vibrate til August!

Does anyone know if Drew does rolling admissions? Or do they just look at the whole pile since September to Jan and pick students?

I think they look at the whole pile. Then accept 16 at a time.

No they didn't. I was more shocked that I got in when they called. I didn't even think about scholarships lol.

Congratulations on your acceptance!!! I interviewed in October and I am still waiting to hear back. I just wish they could send an update email. The possibility of never hearing back is terrible! I just want to know.

I don't know about acceptances yet, but I hope to see you there!

Thank you so much! Yes i did apply. But I was passed over from PRIME post secondary . I received an interview invite from regular DGSOM in December. So that is basically like a rejection from PRIME.

I think they save spots so February interviewees have a shot. After Feb. interviews, I'm sure they'll just look from the whole pile until they fill the class.

 

[sonix1]

Is today the last interview day? If so, the remaining set of acceptances should be coming out sometime this week?

Ya they have already given 6-10 acceptances already since the last post. I don't know how they are doing acceptances but it seems like rolling.
