I'm guessing it'll be around 10-11 weeks from your interview date. That's how long it's taking for most others with a few exceptions 🙂.

might be a silly question, but the school has to let you know decisions before April 30th correct?
Nope, no communication until now
Which dates are still available for interview? Does anyone know how late into the cycle Drexel interviews?
Actually a lot of dates. About 6-8 dates in March and one in April I think 🙂
Complete 8/23, still not a peep.
Hearing about all the movement in the past couple of weeks gives me a little bit of hope!

Thank you!
My thought was, that since those who interviewed in the middle of December are hearing back around now, if there were no interviews at the end of December/early January because of the holiday, then the next batch of interviews they will be looking at will be around the time I interviewed. That's what I am hoping for at least!
I realize I am being neurotic but I have a lot banking on this decision and it has been stressful and thought-consuming so I'm over here perseverating and trying to control something clearly out of my hands, haha.
some people have reached out to me to asked about my interview day etc. I interviewed back in Nov and had a very good interview day (didnt love the school itself). Anyone who is worried about their upcoming interview is free to email me any questions they have. I wanna give back after all the help I have gotten to have such a successful cycle .,

Middle of December!? Oh boi.. I'm early December and I haven't heard back yet ...
I interviewed 2/13 and they told our group the same thing
Well the only reason I said that is because someone from 12/7 posted that they heard back last week. Perhaps they were an anomaly! I should stop reading into it.
I had heard absolutely nothing from the school since I applied in July. I turned them down as:
A) it's a logistical nightmare to get from the middle of nowhere to Philadelphia
B) I was accepted at a different medical school and would pick it over Drexel if offered admission.

Looking at last year thread: They announced some decisions on March 1.
Good Luck!
Placed on pre-II hold just now via email

1/17 I thought it would be a lot longer of a wait.
Accepted! So happy! Thanks for everyone's support as I tried to figure out exactly when I would hear back... sooner than I thought!
Congratulations! 😀
Does this school accept in the area emails?
I called them last month to ask and they only gave me a very terse NO.
Sounds like a lovely experience.
II today, there are lots of open dates left but I think I will be withdrawing!
Congrats! Hopefully I get something while I'm in the area. :O
I like you
Congratulations to all who got accepted!
thanks! It's just been silence for me, and I used up my updates about three months ago
+1 Excited for the opportunity!
Haha put on Hold today. Complete Sept. 7th.
Congratulations! Do you mind sharing why this is your top choice?
Anyone have advice for the interview?
Also, what were your favorite and least favorite aspects of the school?

thanks for the info! I emailed them to see if they can resend the email to me. This was a separate email than the one with confirmation of the deposit being paid/you have accepted the offer email correct?
Were you ever put on hold?

Do you know if Drexel admissions office accepts letters of interest? I tried emailing them to ask but they just reply with the Document Upload screenshot.
