Drexel gets like 14K applications every year, it seems more likely that your application is just lost or in line to be review\ed

 

[deleted773031]

Put on hold 12/4. LM ~70. Complete 8/7 :/

 

[MomJeansandDadJorts]

Is there an accepted students page?

 

[future_dr_897]

II today! Complete 9/21, only PM interview on 12/13 was left in December, plenty in January though.

 

[BCtoMD]

Is there an accepted students page?

I emailed and asked about an accepted students group- I'll keep you updated!

 

[Dr. Mike Trout]

Hold just now. 🙁

 

[SirButtcheek]

Pre-II rejection, Complete 8/22 ish. LizzyM 71. Really shocked by the rejection, thought I had a good chance. I applied MD/PhD.

 

[936117]

MD/PhD R today

🙁 Is this pre or post interview?

 

[Gymnast97]

Hold just now. 🙁

sorry to hear that, would you mind saying when you were complete by?

 

[SirButtcheek]

Is there anyone who got an II from this school for MDPhD willing to have a discussion?

 

[Freddywap]

Anyone got excited when they received the financial aid email thinking that there is an actual scholarship in there to figure out that it is just a website and nothing is posted yet :/

Lets hope that those who got calls the first day end up with a scholarship (probably not the case but one can hope)

 

[Blue96]

When were you complete?

 

[Blue96]

[TearsonmyMCAT]

Dont you love it when your safe in-state school throws you on hold for a interview, but an OOS higher ranked school accepts you? Can I get ONE interview from my state schools FFS

 

[Asian1995]

completed 7/25 still waiting

Yo bud chill out. I and many others will gladly take that acceptance from you if you don't want it

How did you read what I said to sound like I was ungrateful at all about my acceptance? I'm just mad that I hoped for atleast 1 in-state interview and I don't have any.

Wellll..the comment does read like it has subtle tones of annoyance/frustration which can come off as ungrateful to anyone who wants to be in your current position.

No such thing as a “safe” med school. The whole process is a crapshoot. Stay humble and grateful for whatever you get

What state are you from ?

At least you have an acceptance...a lot of us don't have that.

Yeah !!! I know some amazing , talented people who don’t have any interviews yet . People , who’ve been working in healthcare field for a long time , and understand what it’s all about . This kind of attitude makes me feel that the person has a very different motivation or idea about being a doctor . But either way , it is frustrating to read posts like this . This process is hard enough without someone calling state schools “safe schools”( I am not sure why , but I find that part offensive . My dream school is a state school ).

 

[DoomDoomie]

Plus PA doesn’t really have a state school. They’re all private besides geisinger which is technically a state school

Uh. Penn State?

 

[DoomDoomie]

Uh. Penn State?

A state school is a school that is fully funded by the state + donations. Penn state gets very little funding from PA and is actually defined as a “state affiliated” school.

The med school is considered private

Geisinger is also private!

 

[DoomDoomie]

Geisinger is also private!

Didn’t they just get a couple million from the state? That would obligate them to take in state students

Not sure on that, I just know on MSAR they are registered as private

All of the PA medical schools are private (probably because our stingy state government gives each school like $2). Our "in-state" tuition is a joke at most schools with ~3k difference compared to OOS tuition.

Gotta love it! But I do love all of the PA schools, so many fantastic options

How much are their scholarships? I didn't see values on the website. I got an II here this morning and weighing against my other options.

 

[anonymousdoc37]

II today! Have a bunch of dates in January and some in February!

Congrats to both of you!! What were your complete dates, if you don’t mind sharing?

Thanks! I was complete here early September.

Drexel tends to be stingy with scholarships, but as is the case with most schools.

If they really want you, do you think they are willing to match awards from other schools?

 

[ciestar]

You could try, but no guarantees. Drexel gets a TON of apps, they can have their pick.

But as I said, it can’t hurt to bring up an offer and see if they’ll match. Worse than can say is no.

 

[DameJulie]

Is Drexel receptive to update letter to those on hold pre-II?

 

[anonymousdoc37]

Congrats to both of you!! What were your complete dates, if you don’t mind sharing?

I was complete late August! 24th I think

 

[Blue96]

Declined interview...hope goes to one of ya'll!
