Anyone know what Drexel’s post-II acceptance rate is? The stats from USNWR that was posted on r/premed say it’s like 90%+ which is definitely wrong lol

It’s just a little above 50%

[locklearjojo]

Would you mind sharing your stats? Thank you

Stats wise I’m on par with their gpa and mcat. I also have clinical work & a commitment to underserved. URM

has anyone submitted updates by e-mail? is that well received

I'm not sure if they accept emails. I've uploaded a transcript and an update letter through the portal, its easy to do

 

[cafedisco]

Does anyone know how to submit more than one update? In the secondary invite email it says they accept up to three, but if I'm not mistaken the portal is only allowing one. (One of each: resume, transcript, and update.)

Yeah I did that for my first update, i was just wondering if i could send more

How do we write an update? I’m really confused on the format and would appreciate any help 🙂

Heads up--they do take additional updates by email and then add it to your app. Kinda wish they said that right on the portal to make things easier.

 

[aqifjak]

Awesome, thank you!

Hey so I formatted it as if I am sending a letter by mail. So I wrote my address on the top left, the schools address below on the right, and started by saying I am writing to update my application, then mentioned my recent updates, and ended with thanking the committee for their time and consideration and looking forward to hearing from the committee. Make sure to also include your AAMC ID on the letter. Good luck 🙂

Pre II hold, OOS LM 65 complete mid August

 

[hwpo143]

for those of you who were accepted, did you submit update letters post-interview?

 

[MomJeansandDadJorts]

for those of you who were accepted, did you submit update letters post-interview?

Nope

 

[ctvlf6]

for those of you who were accepted, did you submit update letters post-interview?

I did not. I had one ready to send in case I was deferred though, lol.

 

[hwpo143]

that's sort of my plan, with another round hopefully next week I'm not sure sending it now would even help / be looked at. getting lots of conflicting advice from advisors

 

[madiso30]

I really don't want to sift through 30 pages of content. Any standout questions I should be ready for before my interview Wednesday?

Sounds good to me.

 

[csg08]

Anyone been complete since July and have not heard back yet at all?

 

[Catstronaut]

Sorry if this has been answered, but for next week's decesions do we think it will start coming out on Tuesday due to MLK day?

No idea! Trying not to think about it to be honest, only going to be stressed. Going to tell myself they’re coming out on Friday that way I’m not continually disappointed!

 

[M&L]

Do you guys think that we will get results from last week of November interview next week ?

 

[M&L]

Maybe! I feel like the Sept & Oct people heard back last month! I asked about this on interview day, and the admissions committee basically said, in general, prospective students' full application packets are reviewed fairly chronologically, but also they can't promise that your application will get reviewed by the committee. It gets tough with how they do it in batches!

I really hope so . Next week will be pretty much 8 weeks since interview . I really wanna know . I have 3 more interviews coming up , but I put Drexel on higher priority than one of the school , so I will cancel that one interview if I hear anything next week ...,I would love to go to ALL interviews but it is just getting too expensive

 

[deleted867159]

Has anyone who was deferred heard back again at all? Whether that be an R, WL, or A.

I hope so! I interviewed early dec and they told us our decisions would be released in the january batches, but not sure if they will be sticking to this

 

[flaminghotcheetos]

anyone here placed on pre-II hold, but then was granted an interview? Just trying to evaluate my chances/ be realistic with expectations....I think the hold means its slim chances i'll ever get that II this cycle... any thoughts or experience with this would help 🙂

 

[2018Premed]

Is anyone who interviewed at the end of October still waiting for a decision?

Yeah! Honestly, I'm glad they didn't send out any notices today! I think letting everyone appreciate/enjoy the holiday means Drexel stays true to its values 🙂
