Hi Ciestar, thanks for reaching out!! Would you know if Drexel is open to in-the-area emails? Thanks for your help
does Drexel still give an essay at the interview?
^I've been wondering this as well!

****.... I'll be gay for a little bit on paper if it does...
By some definitions, I am sure being a member of the LGTBQ+ community would be considered "underrepresented in medicine."lol this is offensive. I think it's counted as URM at some schools (northwestern comes to mind). Certainly can't hurt.

did you end up using the optional essay as a diversity essay? on the fence on whether I should write anything at all in there.. it seems like a prompt for updatesJust wanted to add myself to the school thread and check on updates. Sent my secondary last week and crossing my fingers
Good luck to everyone applying and gratz on interview invites!

i personally havent added anything to when schools ask if there is anything you want to tell the school if its optional. if its optional i see it as something that most schools wont care if you put to increase your app with. if they wanted to know why ducom or diversity they would ask. and if they wont care and you put a why ducom or diversity essay it may come off as try hard. i just cant come to terms with looking like a try hard.I actually ended up leaving it blank when I submitted. It was one of my first schools I submitted to this cycle, and on hindsight I would consider adding a small "why DUCOM" or diversity essay if you don't have any glaring issues to address. But I've heard mixed things, and I doubt my application will be swayed either way.
Around 1100 get interviewed and 57% get acceptedDoes anyone know the post interview acceptance rate for this program? How many applicants get interviewed? Thanks.
didnt write anything in SLU or SKMC either. again i think they asked if u had any additional comments beside the stuff u have on the amcas. which suggests that they are asking for any updated stuff u would have put on your amcas if u hadnt submitted. i think one of them put it really vague as do have any additional comments. which at that point you could write a why this school prompt. but even then the fact they ask u if u want to makes it so they cant judge everyone (those who write and those who dont) on the same standard. so they would have to throw out those why this school essays so they judge each applicant equally.I can definitely relate. There are a couple of schools that don't necessarily require any essays (SLU, SKMC) and I would've just felt odd not sending anything to try and demonstrate my interest in the school. With schools that already give you 3+ essays, I didn't bother adding anything extra.
congrats!!! when were you complete?II!! OOS
does anyone happen to know what the essay is about?
Nothing strenuous or anything you should worry about. Usually an ethical dilemma like "what would you do if you caught a friend cheating" type of thing.
