WEIRD. Well, if you got an II then I am going to assume you are right!!!
That's really weird that they have two conflicting things on their website! I don't want to tell you the wrong thing, but they apparently didn't hold it against me that I sent one in lol
I FEEL YA 9 WEEKS POST-INTERVIEW SILENCE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Rejected this morning, had sent in an application update yesterday. Complete mid July. Best of luck, everyone!
Interviewed here yesterday and LOVED IT!!!!! I had Dr. Wagner as my interviewer and he was super duper chill 🙂
You're probably right. I found it really hard to believe they would just give one to you lol. Oh well. Whats $800 more in the face of crushing student debt? 😉
if you use the search box and type in "accepted" and check "search this thread only" that should pop up with a few answers, but yes, people have been accepted. I interviewed in October!
complete mid-July and haven't heard anything at all... does anyone know how far out their interviews are scheduling now? They interview through March so here's hoping to be that late-round pick, rookie off the bench, underdog kid who interviews under the wire and snags that last seat (what's better than that last seat?!)
Getting rejected everywhere else then getting that last seat off the waitlist the day before school starts

They'll give you a deadline. We had until mid July for background checks, and all the medical stuff.
Can it all be done in a month timespan?
What is the issue here? I got an email from Certiphi in January or February and then you'll get information from Drexel about your child abuse clearances and FBI finger printing (this is the one that can get forever..). That and the medical stuff. You'll need a physical, titers done, two step PPD...
Personally, I wouldn't wait until the last minute, it's not worth it. Especially since they give you MONTHS to get it done.
It seems common for many med schools to reject applicants hours or a few days after sending an update. I think they decide to reject an applicant but don't care to let them know unless that applicant sends an update.
Can anyone confirm?
Please send me an interview invite Drexel. Please. I'll love you forever

That happened to me with Hofstra. They savage. But that's n=1, and could have been a coincidence.

I am OOS and wanted to wait until I am sure I am going to Drexel, that's all! Thanks!
The certiphi check you'll have to do for every school, so just get that over with lol but yes, all schools have their own requirements, but like I said, best not to cram it all in all at once.
ACCEPTED! First one of the cycle, what a relief!! Interviewed 10/24
Are you IS?
No, OOS LizzyM ~ 74

ACCEPTED! Interviewed 10/10
Oh man, sorry to hear that 🙁 but hopefully better luck elsewhere!!! May I ask your complete date?
rejected this morning
Accepted! Interviewed late september
Long time lurker, first time poster here. This entire process has been really stressful so I feel for everyone who's in limbo. With that said, I was accepted today! Not sure if the update I sent less than a week ago helped or not though.
LizzyM ~69. OOS. Interviewed Mid-October.

Placed on pre-II hold this morning. Complete since mid July. Anyone else in the same boat?
Did you get an email about this? I've been complete since around then and have not heard a peep.
Sent from my iPhone using SDN mobile
Sorry to hear! Didn't know Drexel did pre ii hold. Complete since beginning of august and nothing here.
Yes, via e-mail.
Sorry to hear. But you're still in the running so don't give up hope!

Maybe I'm interpreting the email wrong but it says that an interview is not offered at this time and they would like to re evaluate my application should spots remain open in the spring. If that IS the rejection letter then whoops.

No, that's the spring hold. They did the same thing last year.
I wasn't aware that they did holds. I thought it was just II, rejection, or silent rejection.
No no, they do the hold as well. You'll receive another rejection email late in the spring if you don't get an II in early spring
Everyone talking about acceptances, IIs and holds, and I am just here still waiting for a response since mid-August. Smh.
Congrats to anyone that recently got an acceptance or II, btw!
