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

I got mine yesterday, so they are sending stuff out. Fingers crossed for you guys!

Would you mind telling us what the decision was, and when you interviewed?

 

[annuk]

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

When you have a 3.84 and a 511 and you were out on hold....

^^ this is only for Drexel's IMS program

Accepted, interview 1/26 iirc. I have two other schools that were a better fit so I'll be withdrawing and deciding between one of those. Good luck!

hey guys i was looking at the drexel academic calendar and they have something called "block zero" that starts may 28th, i realize i would probably know if this was something that applied to me but i was wondering if anyone knew what this is? lol

I can't seem to find a 'command F' feature for this thread so I apologize for my question that I'm sure has been answered...how long after interviews does the committee typically send decisions?

Early start block for fourth years. Mostly for people who are out of phase with their class due to postponing a rotation for whatever reason

They have decision dates on the portal

Some November interviewees heard back just two weeks ago, a late January interviewee heard back this week... there doesn't appear to be a concrete/predictable answer to this question.

Since this is the last week, did they add more?

 

[scottstot]

Not as of two hours ago

Also we were told at my interview that the last committe meeting is sheduled for 3rd week of April where they will make all decisions for acceptance, reject or official waitlist. After the 3rd week, decision will go out weekly rather than this long wait that we are experiencing. I’m sure they will add more decision dates but it will most likely be in April since we are coming to the end of March.

Waitlisted just now. Interviewed mid-February

I interviewed 1/22 and still haven’t heard anything... what’s going on over there?

I interviewed 1/31 and haven't heard anything either - my worst fear is that they're saving the rejections for last.

I’m in the same boat lol

I’m thinking the same thing... I mean it doesn’t make any sense otherwise, right? Why else would they release decisions out of order?

Someone way earlier in the thread suggested that they might be reviewing applicants' profiles based on which interviewers are available to meet on any given day (since each of their schedules is probably very different)... I'm just as clueless as you guys are, but I wouldn't think the worst just yet

Get out of here with that logic and let me panic in peace!

Waitlisted just now. Interviewed mid-February

Were you deferred or actually waitlisted?

 

[MilaKunis]

Waitlisted

 

[FlamingEagle]

Waitlisted

Uh oh, does this mean all seats are filled?

 

[soontobedoc123]

there could be more deferrals / waitlists coming! two weeks ago there were some deferrals on weds, I got my deferral the next day

 

[flippermccoys]

Uh oh, does this mean all seats are filled?

I think the reason they were giving deferrals was so that they could come back and look at the application again at a later date. Now that the admissions season is coming to a close, there is probably no point in giving a deferral so they go straight to the waitlist?

 

[Ericles]

Back in January, my application was put on hold to be reviewed later.
Has anyone in a similar situation received any updates?

 

[John_Dorian]

Interviewed in early December and still haven't heard anything. Hopefully, today will be the day!

 

[medschoolquestion18]

I just withdrew my acceptance. Good luck to you all <3

Pre-II hold? I think some people on here have gotten interviews from pre-II hold.

 

[flippermccoys]

Just got waitlisted. Interviewed 1/22

 

[Crusher of Souls]

Interviewed early Feb and was just waitlisted.

 

[IShouldBeStudying]

I was just waitlisted.
Interviewed the end of January.
Hopeful that this waitlist will turn into an acceptance!
Good luck to everyone else!

I hope it does. Good luck!

 

[Detailfanatic]

Hi everyone! I'll be withdrawing my acceptance today. I hope it goes to one of you!

 

[CharmCity94]

Waitlisted as well, interviewed late January. Super bummed.

 

[dij2009]

Waitlisted, interviewed early Feb

 

[Phillypremed2k19]

If those that were just waitlisted don't mind me asking, were any of you initially deferred? Or is this the first thing you're hearing post-interview?

First time hearing since the interview

 

[Phillypremed2k19]

First time hearing since the interview

Appreciate it, best of luck - I've been sitting on a deferral since November so it's been a long 4 months

 

[dyingtobemd23]

Does anyone know how often decisions will be coming after this week since no other dates are posted on the portal?

 

[FlamingEagle]

Just got hit with the waitlist. Dang 🙁

 

[JusttrynacatchaW]

Waitlisted. Interviewed 1/31. Kinda bummed but it really do be like that sometimes

 

[purplecrocs]

Withdrew my acceptance. Good luck to you all on the waitlist 🙂

II today. I thought it would be a rejection letter. I don't really know what to do. The SO has already applied to a Master's program near the very expensive DO program I was admitted to...

Also - what kind of specialty do you think you might want to pursue ?

 

[hwpo143]

Hey guys is anyone bringing anyone (parents, significant other, etc) to second look?? Not sure if that’s a thing at this school.
