Thanks so much for sharing this! Also completed in July, starting to lose hope. Good luck to all those still waiting to hear back as well!

Hey everyone! I was hoping some of the current medical students or even the students who visited could talk about some of the greatest aspects of Drexel from personal experience.
I just interviewed here yesterday, so yes
They have dates at least through Feb, if not March.
my interview is scheduled for late Feb and I got my invite last Friday so yes, there's still hope!
Do you mind sharing your stats?

I got an email today
Lizzy M ~67 OOS, I would say average amount of both clinical and research experience
Any December interviewees hear back yet?
Hi everyone I was really hoping you guys could give some advice for the interview. This is my second one and I was waitlisted after my first. I just really am hoping this one goes well. Any advice would be appreciated
The interview day is really relaxed and fun! The ethics essay (written on an iPad) is super simple and easy. My interview was conversational and I was asked just the basic questions (why medicine, why our school, etc). The student interview is over lunch and a great way to find out more about the school! We just chatted about Drexel and ourselves. Only drawback of the day was not really finding out much about the new curriculum.
Good luck!
Good luck!
Does anyone have any tips on a post-interview letter of intent?
Thank you so much!
Unfortunately that is the case for most of us. Student interviewers, faculty, etc. Apparently it's coming more together now, though, so there might be more information available soon.
Is there a class of 2021 facebook page?
Interviewed 12/1, accepted today via email! LM 69. First MD acceptance, pretty crazy!
Congrats on all the acceptances 🙂
I got put on pre-interview hold (jan 31), but I recently had a dream about getting accepted into Drexel...so keeping my hopes up for an II soon haha

Does anyone happen to know the post interview acceptance rate?
What exactly does a pre-II hold mean at this point? Pretty much a nice rejection?
Same except I was complete July! Hopefully they still have IIs left
56% last year
Thank you! That seems like pretty decent odds!
Are rejections indicated anywhere in the portal? Or just by snail mail?
Everyone's getting rejections or holds etc, but I still haven't heard a peep. Complete late july.
+1. Compete early August
On hold pre-II yesterday.

+1 also July. I gotta think that there's still atleast a teeny bit of hope given all of the rejections/holds.
Sent from my iPhone using SDN mobile
+1 complete 8/14/16

Does anyone know if Drexel offers a "Second Look Day"?
Yes. It was beginning of April last year
