[Alexander Brosef]

Anybody who interviewed in March heard back?

Interviewed first week of March, still nothing

 

[Trioxy]

Interviewed 2/20. No news still

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

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

I believe that number includes both people accepted directly and people accepted off the WL

 

[bignoseguy1234]

A lot of accepted students withdraw their acceptance by the April 30th date, so I wouldn't stress too much, Drexel gets a lot of waitlist movement which is where that number comes from.

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.

 

[bignoseguy1234]

It says: Number of acceptance offers granted to applicants on waitlist: 60

 

[#wannabemd]

So that means Drexel offers around 750 straight acceptances which is not representative of this forum at all lol

 

[#wannabemd]

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

 

[Timelessness]

Interviewed 10/16, deferred in November, just received the waitlist email. Wording gives hope then just lets you down, I had a heart attack at “we would like to offer you a spot...”

same here, but deferred Dec 20th and then waitlisted 4/20

I guess now we all know which section of the MCAT was my lowest score

 

[cupcake81]

Those who are accepted, have you all started to reach out and find roommates yet? Now that accepted students day is virtual, i'm not sure how to go about it. Is anyone actually planning on going to the virtual one?

On the Facebook page, the medical students said that they would send out a form to facilitate the search for roommates. Virtual day tomorrow!

 

[medstudent245]

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

 

[gessefelstein98]

any early Feb interviewers still waiting? interviewed first week of February and still haven't heard back

 

[Trioxy]

Interviewed 2/20- just waitlisted

 

[flbro98]

waitlisted. interviewed first week of march

 

[fdizzle12]

waitlisted. interviewed first week of march

Woah, they’ve moved onto March interviews 😱

 

[medstudent245]

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?

 

[noospheratoo]

Interviewed first week of Feb as well and still haven’t heard a thing.

 

[aabb12]

If you’re a feb interview and still haven’t heard make sure to check your spam/promotions for the email and also the portal too. Saw my decision on the portal before I found the email.

 

[Alexander Brosef]

waitlisted. interviewed first week of march

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

 

[iluvmedicine528]

I’m assuming that those who interviewed the second week of March will hear back next week?

 

[premed2560]

A today! Interviewed 2/26
LM: 68, ORM, non-trad

Yup, did that... still nothing.

 

[#wannabemd]

I wonder what Drexel's algorithm is to send out decisions

yeah and I wonder how they rank their waitlist too

 

[angiogram36]

Does Drexel not have their 2020 match list up?

 

[iluvmedicine528]

Does Drexel not have their 2020 match list up?

They do not.

 

[cupcake81]

Does Drexel not have their 2020 match list up?

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.

 

[mrscoliosis]

are they going to release the match list anytime 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?

 

[JProspectiveMD]

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.
