I’m wearing the shirt lolol
That’s just unfair
Sorry to hear it. Keep your head up; it'll all work out.
When you submitted a LOR did your recommender email it to you, and then you submitted it, or did the recommender directly email Drexel?

For any recommenders I had after submission of my primary, I had them upload it on AMCAS since I was sending them to multiple schools!
Can we send additional LORs from our AMCAS now if we've been waitlisted, even though Drexel has that 4 LOR limit stated ??
+1 Just waitlisted. Interviewed 3/24 via zoom. LM~ 65 GPA: 3.4 overall (with 4.0 upward post-bac), 511 MCAT

Please check your spam folder just found my WL invitation there. Will be withdrawing
Just to clarify, you hit resubmit after adding the additional letter recommender right? I don’t want to unknowingly pull myself off all these waitlists by clicking that

Yes! It doesn't resubmit your entire app just the additional LOR request. It even shows you a summary of what "edits" you made before you hit re-submit.

Can someone shed some light on waitlist position timelines? For example:
Applicant A waitlisted on 4/20/20
Applicant B waitlisted on 4/28/20
Applicant C waitlisted on 5/11/20
Do you think they tack on freshly waitlisted candidates in order/after earlier ones? I feel like there has to be preferential ranking as they interview, waitlist, and add more people, which leads me to believe you can keep bumping up and down on the ranked list.
Thoughts?
Also here’s more music:

Thanks! I am in the March 2nd group so it’s good to know that WL people close to my interview date are getting off
Anyone from 3/31 or late march/early April hear back yet?
Drexel movement seems too hard to predict, haha. Also still confused why anyone would would get off the WL before some have heard anything at all but I suppose they probably interviewed the best candidates earlier in the cycle lol

when were you interview ? what did you do after getting into the WL ?
Correct-- the committee gives priority to applicants who they are interested in the most. Most schools this. This is why you see people from dates later than others who haven't heard getting in. They were prioritized most likely.Drexel movement seems too hard to predict, haha.

Do medical schools know:
1. Which other medical schools you applied to?
2. And your current status at those schools?

I believe medicals schools can see your PTE / CTE status on the choose your medical school tool on AMCAS but that is it.
Meaning, they know if you have an acceptance or not but would not know schools you are waitlisted at, withdrew from, or were rejected by.
