For those waitlisted, I had heard there was a high priority waitlist. Is this true?

Does anyone know how long after an acceptance the financial aid packages came in? Or how much aid Drexel gives? Thanks!

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.

Is there a Facebook group for the class of 2023?
 
FWIW, I lived in Falls Village for two years. It was really nice, but a bit pricey.

If you join the fb group, you can ask all of this. A LOT of upperclassmen are in the group to give input.

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?

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!!!

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!

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 received information on paying tuition? Or how/when we go about making our first payment? I haven’t heard/read this anywhere, want to make sure I’m not missing anything!
 
AAMC should have a mandatory decision date so things like "you could hear back the week of orientation" don't happen.

The portal now states that the waitlist is ranked but they do not disclose rank to applicants.

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.

Thats ^what ive been saying from the get go.. they soft R so many people.

Nothing against them maybe they just like to consider for as long as need be.

Thursday is their traditional D-Day though so we might hear other news too. Fingers crossed
 
So admissions can't disclose WL rank, but can they tell us if we're near the top/bottom? :unsure:
