Withdrew my app from here and a few other schools after a couple A's yesterday. Wish you all well!

p.s. I would encourage anyone who knows they would not attend a school if accepted (due to other acceptances or changes of heart) to withdraw from that school as soon as you can. It really helps fellow applicants out!

I echo this sentiment so much! (I did the same thing for a few interviews today.) It’ll help free up space for those who really want to attend the schools. Even though we don’t know each other, I feel as if we’re all a big team. Good luck future doctors, we got this.
 
Any current students here willing to answer some questions about the school/ curriculum? I'm interviewing here next week and am really excited but would love to learn a bit more. Please feel free to message me. Thank you!
 
App on hold. OOS, Complete mid-August. Is this the end? 🙁

How does one stay positive yet realistic? I've heard its early in the process that doesn't help with the anxiety. When should I start seriously looking at gap year options or looking for jobs and forgo medical school?

Feeling the same here, fortunate to have 2 MD interviews - but thought things would be looking better by now.

This cycle works in a mysterious way. There is no telling whatsoever.

Im assuming we will hear decisions tomorrow since they said 4-5 weeks and tomorrow will be almost 5 weeks from the first interview date

Did you interview on the first day too? If I don't hear anything from them tomorrow, I may just call them.
 
Is the med campus large with alot of buildings? Or just one or two buildings? Just wondering if I should wear flats or heels for the tour :cat:

one single building and you will be inside all day. Either way should be fine.
 
Can't believe they're rejecting LizzyMs around 71 that completed in mid July...I'm an OOS, LizzyM 69 that submitted in late August (dang Casper)...seems like there's no hope for an II now 🙁

Keep in mind that DUCOM is more of a mission-based school. It is also very low yield because of how many apps they get. I also imagine yield protection exists because more competitive applicants dont tend to end up ar Drexel.
 
Has anyone who interviewed in early September heard anything yet? I remember them saying that we’d hear back on the 15th...

Nada here. They said 4-5 weeks and its the end of week 5 for those on the first day so Im assuming any day now.
 
I was just offered an II today. Does anybody know the post-II acceptance rate?

Do you know if they are planning on sending acceptances today? They said around the 15th.

Also I agree the essay wasnt bad. I almost hit the word limit cuz I did a brain dump but the topic wasnt something crazy or off the wall.

They said 4-5 weeks and I dont know if it would be negative to call and ask them. Since its now been a little over 5 weeks. Dont want to irritate them since Im sure they are really busy since its early in the cycle.

I wouldn’t call just yet. I know the waiting sucks big time, but patience is virtue
 
For the course/competency checklist you have to do once you get the II... can you go back and change it after you save it?

Does Drexel accept updates (grades, publications) for people who are on hold?
