Hey congrats!

I was wondering this too. Today I received my financial aid package and it was under the cost of tuition. Does anyone know what this means? I tried calling, but the office is closed. I am a little worried.

My aid package has looked like that the past three years. You just need to apply for the PLUS loans to get up to COA if you need it.

Longtime lurker over here but wanted to just provide an update to help everyone else still waiting! Interviewed 4/10, waitlisted 5/6, accepted yesterday at 4:43 PM. Definitely wasn’t expecting anything that late in the day based on this thread so stay on your toes, friends! :)

Is this via FAFSA? And do you know is Drexel is good about matching aid from other schools?
 
So they’ve moved a lot from the waitlists it seems, mostly march (skipped right over my a** because why wouldn’t they, lol) but some April, and now they will waitlist folks from April interviews(?)

Just curious, was your LOI ever uploaded to your portal? I've sent one in a month ago and have called to confirm they've received it, but it was never uploaded to my portal. Thanks for the info!

Had to make the difficult decision to release my seat in the class. I really loved the school and was one of the people lucky enough to receive a call on the first day of acceptances. DUCOM is a great school with amazing opportunities so I hope one of you are able to join the class in the fall! See you in Philly!

Headed to Temple most likely. I got off the WL there not too long ago and felt like the curriculum was more my speed. Hopefully the Philly schools collaborate with community service cuz then we can all work together!

Considering just about the entire population of Philadelphia empties out down the shore for MDW, wouldn't be out of the question.

Mine did not appear after waiting for two weeks. I called the number listed in the portal and they stated they had received my material. Then within 30 mins, the checklist updated.

Congrats to you all who were accepted today.

Today may not be the day for some of us as stated above..

I will wait a few days.
if I don’t hear anything I will send in an update.
If I have to I will fly out and meet the adcom in person.
I will definitely NOT let Drexel tear us apart.

Is there anyone else who is holding an acceptance to DUCOM but is still unsure whether or not to attend? Anyone else waiting to hear back from other schools before finalizing acceptance?
