Very anxious for this upcoming wave of acceptance offers/ rejections. A local businessman/philanthropist has agreed to pay my entire graduating class's tuition in full if we get accepted into a program, so there's a lot riding on this! Would hate to let him down...

Are interview invites over? Been sitting on "Hold fore re-review" status since 08/01

Were you placed on hold before? If not, when were you complete?

It's pretty chill. Just be ready for the essay. It isn't hard but it wouldn't be fun to be caught off guard. Basically just have to show that you can think critically about some ethical situation.

Yeah, if you took the casper, which you did if you're interviewing, it's essentially one of those with 3x more time to answer.

Tons of time to explore on your own or structure however you want between the initial briefing and group interview.

Thanks to runthejools and themightyquinn for your tips! This is my first time applying so I was never placed on hold. I was complete in August.

Super surprised but II today!! OOS complete in June

 

[phillykat96]

Does Drexel only allow one update post-II?

 

[scottstot]

Does Drexel only allow one update post-II?

I sent my second update to their admissions email account and got an automated response stating: "If you have an additional update, the Office of Admissions will upload this into your AMP file", so I am fairly certain you are safe to send another update. Where is the harm in showing further interest/keeping them updated anyway?

 

[angdctr2277]

Hello Drexel Thread! Would any current students at DUCOM be willing to answer some questions about Drexel? I was accepted and I am currently trying to figure out which medical school might be best for me to commit to (SOS)? Also-- if you think I should just reach out to someone through the accepted students FB Page, let me know!!

 

[runner_doc88]

Can anyone tell me about the grading system at Drexel? Pass/fail (and if so is it truly or ranked?). Also, does anyone know how often they honor rotation preferences for third and fourth year?

 

[kangaroo33]

interviewed in december, deferred last week, withdrew app. good luck to all still waiting to hear back!

 

[FutureDoctor06]

When is financial aid coming out?

 

[949898]

Super surprised but II today!! OOS complete in June

Congrats!! What dates were available?

 

[angdctr2277]

When is financial aid coming out?

I think the first two weeks in April. Would have to double check though!

 

[949898]

Did anyone send “thank you” letter after interview? Is Drexel receptive of that?

 

[DoomDoomie]

Did anyone send “thank you” letter after interview? Is Drexel receptive of that?

Some do some don’t. It’s a nice touch but it’s not going to make or break you

 

[M&L]

I didn’t send it .

 

[allcraft]

Interviewing next week. I wish all of us the best of luck.

 

[med112]

so is it unlikely for recently deferred applicants to hear back next week?

 

[Dr.Ján.ītor_MD]

so is it unlikely for recently deferred applicants to hear back next week?

I think there was someone who was recently put on hold that got an II like a week later. I’ll have to look back

 

[949898]

Possibly but I would think after 3rd week of April, decisions begin to go out faster (every week I heard)

 

[IShouldBeStudying]

Congrats on your acceptance!!! If I may ask, how late in January are we talking? I had my interview on the 31st, and I'm wondering if it's reasonable to expect news today.

 

[purplecrocs]

Just got accepted via email a minute ago! Interviewed February 4th!

I think by deferred they mean post II

 

[flippermccoys]

Guess they’re done for the day?

 

[incadln]

Accepted today 2:30pm! II: 1/29
I'm in Drexel's IMS program, complete 12/6, met guaranteed interview reqs. and got the invite 1/2.

P/F with an internal ranking.

They do not honor rotation preferences third year since everyone wants “Philly area”. Fourth year I got all my stuff in places I wanted them.

 

[Epyon]

Super surprised but II today!! OOS complete in June

Can you recall the interview dates that were left?

 

[Caerus12321]

Does anyone know how I could join the accepted students facebook page? I requested to join last week but I'm not sure if they are letting people in that way

 

[M&L]

That’s what I did and they did add me , but it took them s while

 

[scottstot]

May the med school gods look favorably upon us all on this decision date. Praying five times today while facing DUCOM just to be safe

 

[CharmCity94]

My F5 button is going to break soon

Was just accepted this past Friday! Does anyone know if they have a specific date set for second look? Trying to buy tickets before travel gets more expensive.

April 13th

 

[greenglassdoor]

What are guaranteed interview reqs?

3.50 minimum GPA in the program and no less than 126 in each section of the MCAT

 

[incadln]

3.50 minimum GPA in the program and no less than 126 in each section of the MCAT

Idk what program you're in but for IMS its at least a B in every course (the semester is 21 credits) and no subsection falling below 124 (I forgot if there was a cumulative score requirement, I think above 507?).

 

[PutnamMD]

What's up with the lack of decisions this week?
