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 guys, is there anywhere to eat or hang out (like a Starbucks) near the school? Looks like the Septa's gonna get me there about an hour too early!

 

[Doctor new york]

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.

was put on pre-II hold. Is that a euphemism for a rejection?

[italyluvrr22]

Any December interviewees hear back yet?

 

[Doctor new york]

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

 

[plsmedschool]

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!

 

[HopefulHardWorker]

Does anyone have any tips on a post-interview letter of intent?

 

[Doctor new york]

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.

Does anyone happen to know the post interview acceptance rate?

Rejected today pre-II

[tennisgurl]

What exactly does a pre-II hold mean at this point? Pretty much a nice rejection?

 

[CLB_MD]

Pre-II hold today. Complete 8/24. Pleasantly surprised, since I thought this school would downright reject me because of LizzyM of ~63.

Same except I was complete July! Hopefully they still have IIs left

 

[DrBallerBro]

Does anyone happen to know the post interview acceptance rate?

56% last year

 

[Cynicalcatlady]

56% last year

Thank you! That seems like pretty decent odds!

 

[HopefulHardWorker]

Are rejections indicated anywhere in the portal? Or just by snail mail?

 

[raffalaffi]

Everyone's getting rejections or holds etc, but I still haven't heard a peep. Complete late july.

Same as well. Completed mid august. do you guys think we have chance?

 

[born2run]

+1. Compete early August

+1 also July. I gotta think that there's still atleast a teeny bit of hope given all of the rejections/holds.

Does anyone know if Drexel offers a "Second Look Day"?

Yes. It was beginning of April last year

[Pedsmd2b]

Also in the same boat, but someone on this thread got accepted this week and interviewed in September. I think they just have a different way of going about it since they receive so many applications.

I was accepted on 1/26! Not sure if I will attend as I don't really want to do med school online essentially...

 

[Pedsmd2b]

What do you say when you call? I would like to call to check in, but I feel like they will just tell me to be patient and wait.

I called and gave my AMCAS ID and asked if a decision had been made...sorry I'm replying so late but I Hope its still helpful! Good luck.
