Hey guys. I am trying to withdraw my acceptance (and hopefully open up a spot for someone on here!). I did the "withdraw applcation" under the status tab, but I don't think that changed my actual admissions acceptance... Does anyone know how I go about withdrawing my acceptance/getting back my deposit? Is it on a portal or should i just email? Thanks!
I would Email or call.
 
Hows the group interview here? Do they have everybody answer each question?

email to be sure you get your money back. I would do both withdraw and call or email about the process.They are in no hurry to assist you with anything. LOL
 
Very late, sometime in November. I’m thinking hold is kind of a “wait your turn kid” from the school. I’m trying to view it in a good light, as opposed to a rejection to get rid of my application

I definitely think it’s a good sign. With how ridiculously competitive these schools are, I am grateful even to be a side guy/last resort. It means they see something special in us. We just aren’t the 4.0/520/working on curing cancer types they are eager to admit, and I think we all know that.
 
complete mid July/Hold letter Nov - silence after😕
 
Anyone still waiting for a decision from early November?

Exactly- I know I’m not the greatest applicant statistically and I appreciate any chance they are willing to give me. If I am given that shot and go on an interview, I will show them they made the right choice. Until then, nothing we can do but wait for the opportunity. Good luck to everyone!!!!
 
Deferred post-II this morning, interviewed mid-Dec

FYI: if you’re interviewing here Thursday, PLEASE be aware of potential significant travel delays/interruptions because of the Eagles’ parade.
 
Has anyone that has been complete since July and not heard anything back yet at all tried calling and being like "yo whats up?" just to see what the hell is going on?
I feel like maybe someone should.... like I'm starting to wonder why our apps haven't even been looked at..
 
What do you mean deferred? Is this the same as hold?


Apparently Drexel doesn’t do a waitlist until the end of the cycle and so if you’re not accepted/rejected post II you are deferred. Your app will remain active in later decision meetings. Idk I see it as basically the same as a waitlist but I guess you still have a possibility of being rejected.

+1 complete early Aug

+2 complete late July... utter silence and tumbleweeds. :\
Anyone have any clue about how many II's they are extending? Or what the heck we should be expecting
 
Does anyone know/have historical data about the # of "holds" that get IIs? I have a deposit down at another school not expecting to hear anything from Drexel, and then this hold email came! Looking back at SDN from last year, I see one "hold" that got an II, but if anyone has real stats or first-hand knowledge, I'd really appreciate hearing it! I'd love a chance to interview. Thanks!

Don't have any first hand knowledge, but based on previous threads, the hold email is essentially a delayed rejection. Take your other acceptance and run far far away lol
 
when do their adcom meet? its been awhile from the last decision date i feel. sorry if i already asked this question
 
If you haven't heard anything for months, check the application portal. I've heard nothing since August but my application portal yesterday night showed that I had an interview invite...but I never got an email. I went back and checked my spam and trash folders and still no email (the only email I have from Drexel is the app complete email in August). So idk how long this II has been active.
 
Got deferred post-II. Interviewed 12/6. Weird because I got deferred hours after I got into another school. Would they waitlist you even if you got an acceptance? Especially since schools can now see where you are accepted...
