How good/bad is a pre-II hold here?

[cavalierkingjames]

Also on the pre-II hold boat 🙁 Lizzy M 64 so I'm treating it as a delayed rejection

What's the best place to stay the night before the interview? Are there places that provides transportation to/from the interview/airport or is within walking distance to the school.

 

[Ms.Pediatrician]

Does anybody know if Drexel gives out merit scholarships?

did you get an email with a status update? mine still says application complete does that mean they haven't even looked at it yet

 

[Sixsuit]

Put on hold yesterday. Complete 7/7

 

[3toedsloth]

Same for me. Interviewed late September and still absolutely no news - good or bad. Hopefully soon. I think I saw a post on this thread from a current student who said they had to wait the full 8-10 weeks, so maybe that’s the case for us too. GL to both of us

Reach out to admissions. I interviewed then and heard the week of October 16.

I stayed in the center city area. There is a ~$7 train that goes there from the airport and then I just ubered to Drexel the morning of the interview. It was only a 15 minute ride and cost about $15

[snickers356]

Does Drexel review apps in order? I was complete 7/20 and haven't heard anything - no status updates just that my app is complete

Hi all, I was complete mid-Sept, no reply yet. Is anyone else in this boat? I'm curious whether they've started reviewing my file.

Complete early Sept, IS, and haven't heard anything

WOW. That is a long time to wait with no word. Have you contacted them at all?

An advisor of mine suggested I email any school that I hadn't heard anything from after eight weeks, to inquire whether everything was in order with my application. I haven't done it yet though. I know that there was a clerical issue with one of my letters leading to each school's getting three copies of the identical letter. AMCAS said they couldn't fix it and that I should contact each school directly to explain. I guess that's a reasonable excuse to reach out, and "by the way, I'm in love with your school! Let's meet in person!" 🙂

do you think its better to reach out to them via email or should I just call them?

I usually lean toward email thinking it lets people reply when it's most convenient for them, but a quick call is probably fine too.
Let me know if you end up contacting them - hope it ends with good news!

I sent out an email. Lets see what they say

 

[earthdaybirthday]

so what does "decided to defer consideration of your application" entail exactly?

 

[eternalop]

EDIT: Wrong thread, sorry.
