If I were an adcom monitoring this thread during decision days inciting mass confusion would be the highlight of my day

delete this before they see it and get ideas lol
It seems like I have a higher chance of getting a third email from Barack Obama today than getting an email from Drexel

I remember seeing that they accept 700-800 people if I recall correctly from the interview day PowerPoint that doesn’t seem to be represented here [emoji30]

I believe that number includes both people accepted directly and people accepted off the WL
60 admitted from a waitlist of 300 people as per MSAR. That’s 20%
60 admitted from the waitlist or 60 matriculated from the waitlist as that is two very different things
Yeah, the PowerPoint said more than 800 acceptances last year.

It says: Number of acceptance offers granted to applicants on waitlist: 60
So that means Drexel offers around 750 straight acceptances which is not representative of this forum at all lol
If Drexel WL 300 and straight accepts 750 that means around 550 people get straight R’s. Don’t most schools give out way more post interview WL’s than post interview R’s
I bet the 60 from the waitlist is matriculates and not offers extended. If it was offers extended then that would mean less than 60 seats opened up at the April 30th date and I find that hard to believe

I completely agree because 750 - 60 withdrawals after April 30th is 690 still holding acceptances for a class of 250 the math doesn’t add up lol
well this math isn’t quite correct. It would be more like 750 accepted - 560 withdraw + 60 pulled from waitlist = 250. This is absolutely reasonable

I guess now we all know which section of the MCAT was my lowest score
On the Facebook page, the medical students said that they would send out a form to facilitate the search for roommates. Virtual day tomorrow!

Has a facebook page been made for the class of 2024?
Yes. Go to your portal and I believe it’s under the information tab. It’s somewhere there
any early Feb interviewers still waiting? interviewed first week of February and still haven't heard back

I know the policy is different for every school so does anyone know if you are taken off the waitlist at Drexel if you commit to enroll through AMCAS at another school?

+1. Shame, cause the interview went basically perfectly.

Does Drexel not have their 2020 match list up?

They do not.
They did show us on virtual accepted students day the specialties that people matched into and the states people were going to. It looked very competitive from what I could briefly see.

are they going to release the match list anytime soon?
did they say they were going to release it on the website soon?
No they did not mention releasing it at all.. and no one asked lol
Just hear to say the MSAR waitlist stuff is kinda bull****. Its generic numbers that haven't changed for years so stop trying to over think it.
Hmm, so they're just blatantly incorrect?

DUCOM just revoked my acceptance because I didn't answer their acceptance email or a follow up email basically asking me if I was gonna commit or not. Is it just me or is that kinda a dick move? I am by no way obliged to answer or commit until I have heard back from other schools and for them to just tell me "well you didn't answer us so we regret to inform you that you're no longer accepted into the program", seems ridiculous.
