Jk - that was in your original post and I can't read. Thanks for sharing 😛on a powerpoint at interview day...
Does anyone know if Drexel is receptive to "in the area" emails?
do we know if the gpa/mcat averages were of those accepted or those that matriculated?For those of you wondering the metrics they showed us on interview day were as follows for last years class
Interviews: 1141
Accepted 653
Enrolled 260
avg cGPA: 3.67
avg sGPA: 3.62
avg MCAT 31
Do not do this. Drexel looks way beyond just your stats btw. (Which does, in some way, explain why they have a lower average matriculant GPA and MCAT). Naturally anyone who applied there would love an II and contacting admissions will not help your case. They received 15k applications last year, so you need to wait for them to get to yours. It's October 1st, you're not in anyway out of luck if you haven't gotten an II yet. They interview into March/April.
Completed my II on 08/15, but for some reason, my MCAT score still has a red mark next to it. I contacted Admissions and they said it was a glitch, which should be fixed soon like 4 weeks ago. It's still not fixed. Anyone else having the same issue??

Sorry for the late reply but accepted not matriculated!do we know if the gpa/mcat averages were of those accepted or those that matriculated?
Hey guys, on MSAR it says there's a one-on-one open file interview with faculty, and a group interview with students that is closed file. Can anyone speak to how the student interview goes?
Also, my interview is set for a Saturday, but one of my buddies who goes to Drexel says that seems wrong and they only interview during the week. Has anyone interviewed on a Saturday?
Thanks in advance!

Basically one of the students will be talking to you and other applicants about anything and everything while eating lunch. It's super casual. You're also welcome to ask any questions you have (including those you're too scared to ask the faculty about) during that time.
And make sure your interview isn't a Saturday lol. If it really is set on a Saturday, call the office and confirm again. I haven't heard of a Saturday interview since I think we only do Monday Tuesday and Thursdays.
For the group interview (with the medical student over lunch), how many applicants are there per group? Is the interview in a cafeteria, or somewhere more private?

I had 4 total. In a cafeteria setting surrounded by other groups. It's kinda loudFor the group interview (with the medical student over lunch), how many applicants are there per group? Is the interview in a cafeteria, or somewhere more private? Thanks in advance!
I'm scheduled to interview on a Saturday. I'm going to give them a call tomorrow and see if that's correct.Hey guys, on MSAR it says there's a one-on-one open file interview with faculty, and a group interview with students that is closed file. Can anyone speak to how the student interview goes?

I just got off the phone with admissions and the Saturday interview date is not a mistake. All good!
Same issue. In fact, I called and got it fixed to say complete, then it went back to having a red mark.

Omg every thread...Anyone know if they will give out acceptances on Oct. 15 or will they wait until Monday?
I'm interviewing Saturday, November 5th!What Saturdays out of curiosity?
Omg every thread...
We'll all know Monday.
But we'd know yes or no to the question of "will we know if the first acceptances will be issued Saturday or will they wait until Monday?"That's the earliest they can send em basically, but last year people didnt find out until end of october

Complete 8/12 and haven't heard back yetHas anyone that was complete the end of August heard back yet?
During the interview day, does anyone else remember them saying something about us knowing the final decision in a PDF that will be posted on our page? I am reading in past years that people found out that there is a decision online and then 1-2 weeks later they get something in the mail and last year I don't know what happened but people got phone calls for their acceptances.
Did the email say you were accepted or just that your decision was mailed?I got an email but no phone call and an acceptance package in the mail a few weeks later.
Anxiously waiting for a decision!! My number one school and my only MD II (go figure). Lol. The 15th (or the 17th) can't come soon enough

That's not true, they can tell you Saturday, October 15th.. However, many schools will be waiting until Monday because they don't want to come in on a Saturday to send a bunch of emails. It really just depends on the school and the person whose job it is to email you.Monday is the earliest any MD school can release any regular decision acceptances.

Well, that document is from 2013 so I can't say if it is correct or not, but I know from my interviews that multiple adcoms have told me that if they feel like it they will come in on the weekend, but most likely we won't hear until Monday. (And the last time the 15th was on a weekend schools still sent out acceptances)https://www.aamc.org/download/364264/data/2014trafficrules.pdf
Read bullet 3, and the asterisk at the end of the document. This suggests Monday at earliest, by my reading. No?
anyone know if decisions will be released today? i'm freaking out lmao
Anyone complete late August/Early September hear anything about II's yet?
Complete late July so quiet...🤔Compelted 8/15. SILENCE! Does the no news is good news rule still apply? Haha
