That sounds a little dramatic

I just don’t know what to think sir.

Yeah I guess people are being pulled off waitlist now. Today is another decision day, I feel like we might see some more waitlist movement for the next full week..

Things are looking kind of grim for us March interviewees though, especially mid march. Early April and late march interviewees have gotten responses, that’s super great for them but does this mean we are just awaiting a Rejection? :/

Are you on waitlist?

 

[Nym.Pseudo]

Are you on waitlist?

Seems like most March interviewees have yet to receive an initial decision. (I'm in this boat)

 

[Vladimir7]

Are you on waitlist?

Nope. Heard nothing back since mid March

 

[Luckyivy]

What date range do you consider mid March?

 

[Vladimir7]

What date range do you consider mid March?

For me March 10-20 interview dates are kinda mid. Why?

 

[Luckyivy]

For me March 10-20 interview dates are kinda mid. Why?

I always thought people meant March 15th when they say mid-March. But yeah I interviewed within that date range and haven’t heard back too lol. Our time is coming!

Lol I interviewed in January.

 

[Vladimir7]

Lol I interviewed in January.

Lol damn. Were you deferred? It would make sense that you were deferred then waitlisted. For us mid marchers we were told that no more deferrals would be taking place because by the time it was decision date for us all the deferrals would be updated (waitlisted)

Nope, no deferral.

 

[BirdMD123]

LM? also could you message me?
anyone know if we should expect more acceptances from the waitlist list week?

Sure, I’m super new to sdn, but let me try. I didn’t do LM. ‍♀️

 

[MedLife2121]

Are all the updates we send supposed to be on our portal? I only have my initial update that I uploaded to the portal, but the one I emailed isn't listed?

[patriots_66x]

Hey,
Could anyone lend some advice on WHY DREXEL? I am having a tough time choosing between DUCOM and VTC. Any advice is helpful
- I worry about getting lost in the large class size

 

[allcraft]

Accepted! Interviewed 3/27. Grateful for this opportunity.

 

[soontobedoc123]

for those accepted, were you ever on the waitlist?

 

[allcraft]

for those accepted, were you ever on the waitlist?

Negative. I was never put on the waitlist. My acceptance is the first response I got from Drexel since interviewing.

 

[Vladimir7]

March Interview acceptance? You bring me hope. Thank you.

 

[Et_in_Arcadia_ego]

March Interview acceptance? You bring me hope. Thank you.

told you that you were being dramatic

 

[Vladimir7]

told you that you were being dramatic

Its hard not to panic when ur already getting emails to apply for NEXT cycle (2019-2020)

 

[Et_in_Arcadia_ego]

Amen to that

 

[Wahed]

email?

Yup. Then I logged on to the portal to make sure it was real haha

for those accepted, were you ever on the waitlist?

I was not on the waitlist

 

[Embryo]

To anyone in Boston area, how did you do your FBI fingerprints? Is there the digital service or did you mail cards?

 

[ciestar]

Hey guys, I was wondering if any current students might be able to comment on how difficult it would be to have a dog while starting at DUCOM. Thanks in advance!

Same! I got accepted off the waitlist today, 5/1! ( I got an email around 3pm, I interviewed on April 4th, waitlisted on April 26th.) I would love love love to bring my dog.

A lot of my classmates have dogs. Just watch breed restrictions in a lot of places. Otherwise, nobody really has issues. For MS1/2 you never will have to be away too much of the day to really worry about your pet.

Lay out your pros and cons.
As for class size, it has never been a problem for me. I am a fly under the radar person but people know me.

 

[snowy248]

Anyone know if Drexel accepts additional LOR's post-II?

 

[aurora1234]

To anyone in Boston area, how did you do your FBI fingerprints? Is there the digital service or did you mail cards?

I don't believe there's digital service in MA. I went to this website National Background Information - Fingerprinting and entered my MA zip code and it gave me a list of local police departments that fingerprint (MA in general only does paper fingerprinting, no digital based on my research). I just printed out the FD-258 fingerprinting card on regular paper and am planning on going to my local PD (after calling) to get it done. I'll mail that along with the IdentGo Service Summary to the address provided, and then hopefully it will be all set from there!

 

[Epyon]

anyone else here from 4/11 interview waiting on a decision? i see one acceptance from that date

 

[DOpizza]

I had one sent and it was uploaded on my portal a few days later

 

[Nym.Pseudo]

Well, they made it official: waitlisted. Interviewed 3/18.

 

[Dr.Yung]

+1

 

[Vladimir7]

Lol at least we finally heard back

 

[adoconeday]

3/19 interview, WL today. Any others from that day?

 

[Phillypremed2k19]

Sounds like the admissions staff is sending out decisions pretty often here, hopefully this means more WL movement's coming up once they finish March/April interview decisions...

[AlphaDoctor]

I’ll give up my seat if I get into one of my other WLs lmao

they did say they’re interviewing more people than usual here, unfortunately.

I still haven’t heard since my 3/21 interview.

I also thought they were waitlisting more though as well?

Maybe they haven’t reviewed you app yet or it’s still Monday, more decisions might be sent out later in the week. Also I’m beginning to think that they don’t review post interview apps based on interview date. Maybe apps are ranked after interview hence why the inconsistency. #justathought

 

[AlphaDoctor]

I got accepted way before people from my interview date

 

[DOpizza]

Has anyone waiting sent a letter of intent?

 

[medschol12344321]

Was bummed that I couldnt get any drexel apparel when I was there for accepted students day. Do any current drexel students know if I would just be able to walk in this week and go look in the bookstore? Im just worried that the bookstore wont be open or the security guard wont let me in.

I feel like the store on main campus would have some med school apparel and that should be open to public.

Hmm seems I can pickup an omline order in store so im assuming I could get there without an order as well, might just take my chances

 

[Cheetos123]

Yes

To anyone that has sent a letter of intent through email, has it shown up in your portal?
