thank you so much! For those of you still waiting, continue to show interest! I sent an additional update one month post interview. I then had an additional LOR sent on 5/24.
Yes I'm going! So excited to meet everyone!! And keeping my fingers crossed for all y'all still waiting to hear back
For those waitlisted, I had heard there was a high priority waitlist. Is this true?

Asking for a friend, could any current med students or people who already have found living situations DM me and give me some good recommendations for apartments? Thanks 🙂
Asking the same for myself!!
Not familiar with the bigger complexes in East Falls, but I found my place (1 bedroom close to school for $850/mo) on padmapper.com. Found a lot more listings there than on craigslist and Zillow.
South of Henry ave has a cooler vibe and some more restaurants, bars, coffee shops, etc. north of Henry ave is more suburban.
ooo is it Queen Lane Manor by any chance? Does anyone know much about that complex?
No it’s through a private landlord!
No decisions released today?

Could any current students give an example schedule for first year? I think they had one at accepted students day but I can't find anything online. Preferably including mandatory and non-mandatory events. Thanks
Not a first year student yet lol but I found this on their "WebCampus" website, where you can look at the schedule for M1 and M2 broken down by group (A vs. B). Idk how I even stumbled upon this haha but I bookmarked it since I like seeing what a normal week would be like too. So here are a couple examples of what a week would be like for first year! IL's are the lectures on your own time.
Did anyone else receive an email saying this? I never emailed them asking to withdraw. Nor did I hit anything on the portal since accepting my spot on the waitlist.
"This email confirms your withdrawal from the admissions process at Drexel University College of Medicine. We're sorry to see you go. We have a short survey that we'd appreciate you completing - it should only take a few minutes of your time, but will give us valuable information.
We'd like to thank you for your interest in Drexel and wish you the best in your future endeavors.

No, maybe call them tomorrow if they don’t email again to correct it?
I haven't

You F’d up
Yeah thats kinda worrisome.. i didn’t get any update of the sort. Id check in and IF you shared your school account info with anyone I’d check in with them (but I highly doubt you did this).
Or maybe its a way of them to pull people off the waitlist like a post waitlist R(?) idk.

I will be declining my acceptance to DUCOM shortly. Drexel is a great school, I hope it goes to one of you!!!

I would estimate it at a couple hundred unfortunately, the last thing DUCOM would want to do is potentially run out of people to give acceptances to.. it's much easier for them to overpopulate the waitlist then reject whoever is left after all movement is over with
Can any current students confirm if Drexel is P/F, and what the grading structure is during clinical years? Would be greatly appreciated!

Has anyone on waitlist heard back lately?
The portal now states that the waitlist is ranked but they do not disclose rank to applicants.
Thanks!! I was lowkey waiting to hear cuz today y’all were told to respond
This just gave me a heart attack. We have until July 15th to commit.
Yeah not respond today, you have until July 15th, but were prompted to make your decisions earlier if possible

Idk if this helps but there are 397 people in the fb group. Some of them are probably med students but the class is 270 IIRC. Im personally not matriculating here but still in the group to try and find Philly housing so other people may be in the same situation.

For future lurkers, I didn't hear a word from Drexel all year and just now received an email saying that 'all applicants who have not been invited for an interview are now released from consideration for this year.' So no formal rejection or ii all year till this message in June.
So admissions can't disclose WL rank, but can they tell us if we're near the top/bottom? 🤔
where do they say if you're near the top/bottom?
