I interviewed on September 30. Am I likely supposed to hear back on November 25?

If only the 11/18 crew could hear back 11/25

EDIT: I guess this is actually a good time to say how the interview went. It was a very laid-back day. After the "Welcome and Orientation," the schedule varies from person to person.

After orientation I had the "Curriculum Q&A" where we got to meet with one of the professors to ask any questions we may have about the curriculum. This is a good block of time to pretty much ask anything you'd want about the pre-clin and clinical years at DUCOM.

After that, we broke off into small groups where we get to have lunch and a tour with our student interviewer. The M1s all had a big exam this Wednesday so we got to see a lot of students studying in the anatomy lab which I think enhanced the experience. The "interview" also occurs in a very relaxed format, and just because they're evaluating you don't be afraid to ask any questions you may have about student life at DUCOM as they will surely be your best resource during the day.

Following this, I had my faculty interview, which felt very much like zero pressure. My interviewer clearly read my application in-depth and in its entirety. We ended up speaking mostly on one EC of mine, which she recognized as my most passionate.

After that, I did our CASPER-esque essay and was free to go.


My favorite part of the whole experience is you really got a feeling that the culture of the school was laid-back and collaborative. Also, I really enjoyed all the fellow interviewees I interacted with which I think says a lot about their selection process.

Lol I was wondering/hoping that too. And I interviewed same day and had the same thoughts!!

Interviewed on 10/31. What are the chances I hear back on 11/25th?

 

[thisismylastresort]

For some reason I never got an email for the II, but when I checked the portal I got a notification!!

Complete 7/6

[iluvmedicine528]

This made me just check every portal.

Any luck? Haha

 

[iluvmedicine528]

Only if you count no news as good news haha

Haha that’s me for like 1/3 of my schools so yes I do count that

 

[Capycapybara]

Have they sent out R yet? I completed 8/1, haven't received a hold or anything yet. It seems like they've gotten to the early August/late July applications already, but silence on my end.

What’s the announcement ?!

 

[iKumquat]

What’s the announcement ?!

They're releasing the next round of decisions via email soon

 

[Cakepop514]

If I had to guess, we still won't hear until Monday. Last month, they posted something similar to their Facebook page on a Friday and acceptances didn't go out until that following Monday. But here's hoping I'm wrong!

 

[iKumquat]

Does anyone happen to know if a 10/30 interview would be included in this round?

Haha if you go back to posts from 10/25, a lot of people heard back!

It was a little earlier than that. The Facebook post saying "an email could be hitting your inbox soon" was posted on Friday, 10/18 and decisions weren't sent out until that Monday I believe 🙂

This is so embarrassing I thought this was the MCW thread BC admissions are coming out today. Ignore me!

No harm, no foul <3 🙂

 

[Greendale human being]

lol on my portal it says my MCAT is not complete even though I just attended my interview (it said complete before). Is it safe to assume this isn't concerning then?

mine did the same thing. i emailed admissions and they said it was a glitch and not to worry about it.

[KaioKaizen]

This is gonna be a looooooooong weekend

 

[KaioKaizen]

I interviewed 11/18 and while I know my review will most likely be the next date I'm still going to be refreshing my e-mail every 4 minutes.

Bro if Drexel don’t hit you back within a week then you hit them back with the YEET

 

[2020_vision]

One more day, 11/25 peeps!! We got this! Good luck tomorrow 🙂)

 

[jat2mc]

I'm curious to up to what date they'll have decisions on. Seemed like a fair amount of late september people didn't hear back last acceptance release day so i'm guessing its going to be late september, early october.

 

[TheDataKing]

Fingers crossed for all of y'all. There's a facebook group floating around if you happen to get the A!

 

[StudentDoGter]

At the 10/30 interview, the dean told one of the applicants that we probably wouldn’t hear back until sometime in January

 

[lit293875]

Whaaaat at the 11/6 interview, we were told that we’d hear in December

 

[saratonin]

At the 10/21 interview they said they wouldn’t give us a timeline bc they don’t want to create expectations they can’t meet

 

[MedStudent2301]

[Korsakov]

Well now... I was told we'd hear back between 4 and 6 weeks (or the closest decision day) after our interview date

[Sic Parvis Magna]

Anyone interview on 10/24 know if we’ll hear back today?

 

[Medstudent65]

Anyone interview on 10/24 know if we’ll hear back today?

Don’t know if this helps but I interviewed on 10/16 and was told by the Dean that I’d probably be in the November wave.
