Hey from what I saw from last year, they got that information right around April 1st! Hoping for around that time this year as well
I interviewed 6 weeks ago, does anyone know how long it takes to hear back in general?
They said 8 weeks when I interviewed on Jan 22!
No Rejections -- Really??
No.
Thanks.. 6 weeks tomorrow... guess 2 more weeks max .. hopefully some good news!!
In interviewed a little bit after, they said "6ish - 8ish weeks." Got to love those firm deadlines.
No as in "no rejections," or no as in "no, they do reject."
There have been rejections post II.
I'm gonna go ahead and prescribe you one of these:

Gets proven wrong. Attacks the person instead of the argument. Logical fallacy anyone?
This reaction sums up why I hang out with the Vetties instead of over here in pre-allo 🙄

If someone gets riled up over a SDN post and wants to avoid confronting the possibility that not everyone will get accepted to Drexel, then medicine is probably not the best career choice. The other poster was simply confirming that someone was indeed denied post-interview.

More than that, I think medicine might not be the best choice for anyone who read the thread twice and still missed people saying they had post-II rejections . Oh look! Another one!
But hell, what do I know? I’m just here for the likes.

Anyone know if uploading a LOI to the portal is the best way to send a LOI? It is essentially an update letter. I want to make sure they see it, should I email it as well?
Received an interview invite today!
Complete early August, one update sent, OOS, non-traditional. The only dates available are the end of March.

I requested access but haven’t been added yet
Did they mention about changing to 100% PIL learning? I saw on their site that there was still IFM/PIL for 2017-2018. Does anybody wanna chime in on the time commitment is with PIL and how often there are mandatory components now that there aren't lectures. I heard that schools that allow the most independent study time tend to work better for students.
How did you send the update? Did you simply upload a document to the portal or did you send an email as well? Thanks so much for the help!
If we want to send them a resume/CV through the portal, should we just send recent activities/accomplishments since AMCAS submission? Or should we send a complete resume? I have called and left messages/emailed them but have not gotten a response. Any help would be appreciated!
Click the status tab then document/upload status and you can upload an update letter at the bottom. I never emailed them.
When did you interview?

November
For those accepted, are we required to get the Hep b series again for the immunization requirement?
If your titers indicate it, yes.
I had a positive Hep B titer in 2014 and I was wondering whether anyone knows if that would be accepted by schools or if I need to get a more recent one? I can't seem to find any information on how old the titers have to be.
Email the immune surveillance email. When I got all this done in 2016, I was able to use my titers from 2011 for varicella and MMR no problem. Just email them to be sure.
Thank you so much!
December 13
Wow... 10 weeks... long wait.. Did you call them??

The portal says you can upload one of each type of letter. But if you want to do another, or send an email (and think it could get you noticed) then why the heck not? I would go for it
Logged in to "like". Great call.
Out of curiosity, how much time passed between sending your update and receiving the interview invite?

I know you asked someone else, but for me it was 2 months. Complete early August, update early November, II early Jan!
I know they don't accept "updates" by email - only via the portal. I
Well that doesn't bode well for me :/ Sent my update in late January. Fingers crossed though lol. Good luck! Were you on hold at all?

I never got placed on hold. Good luck to you too! If you look at last year’s thread, there’s a record of IIs going out in late March, so there’s definitely still hope!
Like if you are still silent since submitting secondary. Submitted back in early July.
I wasnt on hold either. Complete early august, update 1 end of oct, update 2 and LOR mid Jan, II 2-3 weeks later.
How much you looking at? I uber frequently from East Falls to PHL and usually pay around $20-30?
If not, you can try SEPTA regional rail from the airport and take it to 30th street and hop on the Chestnut Hill West line to Queen Lane.
