Is Drexel receptive to LOIs?

Is Drexel receptive to LOIs?

I sent an LOI on April 13th and I got waitlisted April 21st (I was deferred before). So maybe it did something? Who knows. I interviewed back in November.

Accepted yesterday after sending an update last week! Interviewed mid march.

Did your update show in the portal?

Did you submit a LOI through your portal? I sent an update to Drexel in December, but it seems that I can send another update/LOI through the portal

Update did not show up in the portal. I emailed it to [email protected] since I had already uploaded one in the portal earlier in the cycle.

Did you get a confirmation when it was uploaded? or did you see it in your portal after you emailed?

Not sure if they have received mine, and I've sent a confirmation email as well.

I never got any sort of confirmation it was received. Just an automated email after I sent it to them.

didn't get a response but saw that it was updated on the portal

I was wondering about LOI's several weeks ago and searched in this thread and the previous year's as well. Someone mentioned that Drexel does accept LOI and my pre-med advisor also recommended sending one as well.

There was a detailed post in this thread at post #800

Personally, I think an honest LOI couldn't hurt and submitted one (along with some updates) recently as I wait to hear back. I emailed them and they uploaded it to the portal.

I was accepted after sending an update, so maybe?

The link to the FB takes me to class of 2022. Is this a mistake?

I saw on the portal that one of the options for document type is technical standards, which wasn't there before. Does anyone else see that and know what it means?

I emailed admissions about the “technical standards” option on the portal. They said it is a document that needs to be filled out upon acceptance and to just disregard at this time. I’m wondering if it is something just proactively added on everyone’s portal or not? Any thoughts?

 

[Zen Arcade]

Just go a rejection email and I didn’t even submit a secondary lol

I'm on AL and I see the technical standards option on my portal as well. I wonder if it is added to everyone on AL.

Are you guys seeing this when you click the drop down menu for "document type" in the "Document Upload/Status" tab? Like with the other options that include "resume/CV, update letter, transcript," etc?

No, it's not on mine. That's only mildly concerning...

I feel like its just something theyre changing on everyone's portals tbh, but who knows

 

[avenue23]

Mine is gone as well. Guess they fixed the bug🙁

 

[damon99]

hey y’all I’m going to be withdrawing from the WL here soon, does anyone want my shirt? (Especially if you zoom interviewed and didn’t get one). PM me your address and I can ship it to you! It’s a size small if that helps. Best of luck everyone!

Is the waitlist ranking primarily based on MCAT scores and GPA, or are there more factors that play a role in this?

I didn’t know that Drexel’s waitlist was ranked lol

Oh lol I think it says on MSAR that it is

You’re right! It says the waitlist is ranked by the admissions committee.

for those of you that sent in updates via email, how long does it typically take for updates to show up in your portal? Its been a few days for me and it still hasnt showed up

 

[blankuser]

Are any other accepted students concerned that you won't be able to send in your fingerprint and physical exam on time due to covid delays?

 

[Card dealer]

I think it took about 5-7 days after since I also had the same concern as well.

Can't you just upload it to the portal yourself? Or does only email work?

 

[Phillyboi]

Found something exciting for anyone planning on attending here and interested in derm! (From TH jobs site)

 

[grilledsalmon]

[futuredoc0995]
