Have they actually been rejecting people post-II yet, or just deferring folks?
Based on this thread, it appears as though they have just been deferring.... anyone feel free to correct me though. On a personal note, still awaiting a post interview decision (12/6)....
they rejected some people post II earlier in the season
complete date? congrats!

AspiringDoc!
Were any of you placed on pre-interview hold prior to receiving an II/rejection? And congrats to everyone who just received an II!!
Complete 7/25! Was not previously placed on hold
If you don’t mind me asking, those were invited to interview, what are your stats? MCAT/GPA. Would be greatly appreciated.
I was not placed on hold before and I was complete mid September
Just placed on hold. It’s mid-February. How do they not know if they have interview slots open?
Already holding 2 acceptances so I probably won’t bothdr to interview if I’m offered, but no one lose faith in getting an interview yet!

Also got the pre II hold.
Did everyone on hold only find out through their portal? The email is listed under communication status but I cant find the email...

I am nearly certain they are required to give you an answer by traffic day.
From what it seems like, pretty poor chances.. and starting??

AspiringDoc!
Been on hold since mid October, and haven't heard from them since then
Yup, had 6 MD interviews so far but no acceptances, so starting to get a little nervous
Have some faith. I didn't get an acceptance until the 5th school I interviewed at, so I know what you're going through
Do people with holds even get II? So far it seems like you've got a better chance if you're in the silent squad compared to receiving the hold email lol
Silence since submitting in October and I'm a current Drexel undergrad... goodluck to everyone!
Anyone know what days Drexel likes to send out updates? PSU does the beginning/end of a month, is Drexel similar?
It was relatively accurate for me. I remember a couple of people in my AM interview group ended later though because their interviewer was late from seeing an emergency patient.
EDIT: might be remembering it wrong based on ciestar's post below... I think they were late to the student interview actually, so they probably did end on time.

If you have a morning interview, yes. Your student interviewer is instructed to end the tour by 1:30.

Is the student interview the group interview? I head that they basically just interview you while giving you the tour and its not a formal interview.
Yes, it is. You get lunch with a student and then they give you a tour. They do evaluate you.
As ciestar said, the student interview is the group interview. A group of 3-4 applicants are assigned to 1 med student. Super informal/chill interview over lunch and tour of the school - didn't even feel like it was an interview.
