I interviewed 12/6.
I called them every week (for a month now), if they were annoyed I couldn't tell. one of the receptionist actually invited me to call them the next week (by then it was 13+ weeks of waiting.)
Today I called again and they said they have a decision made for my application, so results might come out pretty soon.

Congrats to all those accepted so far. When is financial aid info. sent out? I will be on vacation during the summer (possibly the last one ever for a while now). I want to make sure I don't miss any deadlines for loans etc. Should I call DUCOM Financial Aid to inform them?

Thanks! I hope it goes well.

And no, as far as I know I was never put on hold. I checked the secondary app website periodically and I never read that my application was on hold either. I've also never been put on hold by any other school as far as I know.
 
hi all. I have an interview on the 20th. Any suggestions for things to do in the area at this time of year?
If you interviewed, how was your experience? TIA :)

there is nothing to do in the area unfortunately. There is not even a Starbucks nearby. Just houses.
 
(Interviewed 1/31): Just called, and the admissions office said I should have a decision next week after the next committee meeting!! I had thought they were running super behind, so this would be amazing.

Awesome! I called last week after the SSN thing popped up on my portal and they had mentioned that a decision was made about my application and I should have found out this week but I still haven't heard! I'm panicking. Did they mention what day decisions usually go out?

Tomorrow is Match Day so the admissions office hasn't be running at full capacity. Worry not!

Did anyone receive an email about viewing financial aid info today? I got a login and password but am having trouble logging in x__x

*edit: nevermind! I clicked "forget password" on the webpage and they sent me a new pin.

So far, it just says:

"There is no financial aid information available at this time.

Hey, just wondering where you see this information. Did you get log-in credentials to a separate portal or something?
 
Rejection in the mail yesterday.

It's game over man, game over!

That's weird. I was accepted in mid-January. Maybe email the admissions office? They sent another email this morning saying they were having technical difficulties so maybe that's another explanation why.

For those who received decisions of some sort, how many weeks did it take to hear back?

I was told 8 weeks at my interview (a week ago), which is kind of ridiculous, IMO, especially considering I was one of the final interview dates. April 30th is approaching quickly... If I were to receive an acceptance, this would basically give me no time to decide slash re-visit...

Do they have to let us know before April 30?
 
Received an interview here yesterday! OOS and accepted to a couple schools in state so probably withdrawing my app. Good luck to everyone!

For what it is worth, I interviewed last week and someone asked about the 6-8 week timeline for the decision mentioning it would be past April 30th and the lady in admissions giving the presentation got pretty heated saying April 30th means little to them and they will fill their class by May 30th, that's their deadline. So I do not think they have to give you a decision by April 30th, just because you cannot hold multiple seats..that doesn't mean you can't get a decision after that.

:meh: lol too bad, April 30th means kind of a lot imo

P.s. This isn't an eyeroll at you, mostly at this whole process, thanks for passing it on!

WOW... That's insane. I'm so sorry!

You all are correct, they can give an acceptance after April 30, but it is unfortunate for us because that means we cannot re-visit the school (I guess if you are local, you can!) slash would miss "Second Look Day." I believe we only have 5 business days of holding 2 acceptances.... Which isn't a lot of time!
 
Can someone fill me in on what goes on during accepted students day? I'm not local, and I don't think I'll be able to attend.

Is Drexel still extending interview invites? I haven't heard anything from them since being complete, and feel pretty pessimistic at this point. :(
