There should be a wave of decisions released tomorrow right? Since they meet on Thursdays?

It is Match Week. I wouldn’t count on it tomorrow.

Release those that have been deferred from this torment! (soon pls)

 

[jellypanda82]

Yesterday around 3pm I got an II, but there was only one day available.

Would you happen to know when the last interview date is? Ty!

Wow, this is coming up soon and haven't heard back from them yet.

 

[Hello Hello 897]

Is Drexel responsive to in the area emails?

I sent them an in the area email and a couple of days later I was placed on hold.

 

[Matt Penn]

Got deferred on Monday (3/13). Interviewed January 17, OOS. Does anyone know if there are any applicants who were rejected post interview? I just want to know if they defer most people who interview

 

[ST328]

Is there actually any movement off the post-II deferred list here or am I just clinging onto false hopes

Historically there has been a lot of movement! Look at the threads from the 2 previous cycles.

 

[dmal93]

Can any current Ms1 possibly provide information on what a typical week looks like? Ty

Do they send letters in the mail if you get accepted or is all done by email?

 

[steelergirl66]

Just found an acceptance in my spam folder! Interviewed in mid-september

Did you ever get an acceptance letter in the mail to keep?

 

[steelergirl66]

Accepted, interviewed 9/26

Did you ever receive a letter by snail mail to keep as a souvenir?

 

[USFSwiftBull]

They send a letter in the mail too, the same one that’s in your portal under admissions decision

 

[medstudentdr.c]

Does anyone know when second look Day is?

 

[USFSwiftBull]

Does anyone know when second look Day is?

Kareem Johnson told me second look day is April 21

I was rejected after my interview. I got my letter in the mail yesteday. My portal never changed. I was waitlisted here last year. This whole process is such a crapshoot. Who can figure it out?

 

[892002]

For those of us who interviewed around Jan 29th, tomorrow marks 7 weeks since the interview! I feel like we should hear something next week!!

 

[MareNostrummm]

Is it worth it to submit a post interview update?

 

[MareNostrummm]

From what I've seen historically, DUCOM has decent WL movement. Check MSAR since I think they give stats on this.

Per MSAR:

Typical number of waitlist positions: approximately 250

Number of acceptance offers granted to applicants on the waitlist: 15

Wow, that’s not many!

Where do you find this information on the MSAR?

 

[MareNostrummm]

Where do you find this information on the MSAR?

There's a section called "Waitlist Information." Just search the word waitlist on the MSAR page.

I'm not sure if 15 is a mistake or what because it seems unrealistically low.

Drexel's page also says:

"The waitlist is ranked by the Admissions Committee. If applicants are taken from the waitlist, they are called/emailed and asked to reply ASAP. Waitlisted applicants may send updates."

*shrug*
I was going by what i was told during my orientation. It may have changed since I matriculated so I cannot say for certain.

 

[medstudentdr.c]

Kareem Johnson told me second look day is April 21

Really? On a Saturday? That’s good!

 

[USFSwiftBull]

Really? On a Saturday? That’s good!

Hmm yeah that’s what he said, but he said we should be getting more information on that soon

I thought they didnt have a second look? Is this the first year they are doing it? I wont hear from them until after that date anyways :/

Sorry to hear that. To some degree this whole process is so random that you can never predict how an admissions committee will respond to your application. But thank you for letting me know!

 

[ciestar]

They always have a second look. I attended it in 2016. I don’t think they originally going to have one this year because of scheduling but Kareem and Lisa seemed to have gotten that worked out.

 

[ciestar]

Saturdays are usually the custom!

 

[DrLebron]

anyone got 2018 match list?

 

[srpprs]

Deferred! Interview 2/5

 

[wonder12]

Are they just deferring everyone? Is this new this year?

 

[Melchizedek]

Are they just deferring everyone? Is this new this year?

A friend of a friend’s little birdie told me that there has been a change in the attitude of the administration on outright waitlisting vs deferring in order to keep applicants from getting “upset at being waitlisted.”

Do you go to Drexel? Honestly I don’t know what to think about this school any more!

 

[Welshman]

have people who went on hold in February received IIs?

[srpprs]

I am countering their deferall with a withdraw...It’s super effective.

 

[geronimoc13]

Thoughts on attending accepted students day? I’d like to get more information than what we have now, but not sure how helpful it would really be.

Any current students experiences on their accepted students day would be appreciated as well.

[Mom I'm Fine]

I have my interview on Thursday and am also wondering what the plan is. Probably going to call the admissions office first thing tomorrow in case my interview is cancelled.

 

[DrLebron]

Is there interviews happening today?

 

[acceptmeplease.com]

Funny that it is now March 21st and my application has still not been reviewed. No hold, no interview since early July.

 

[DrLebron]

Did people have their interviews today?

 

[MareNostrummm]

Anyone have a link to Drexel's 2018 match list?

 

[depa_billaba]

Did people have their interviews today?

II received 2/12. Interview was originally scheduled for 3/21, but due to the storm it was delayed to 3/22. On 3/22, it was delayed to 3/23
