So if Geffen awards are already going out with As, chances are they’ve finalized decisions. Sucks. Oh well, we continue to wait.

Any word on decisions ? I’m losing my mind

+1! Trying to stay positive through this wait is a battle! You’re not alone though if that helps!

so I am hearing (not 100% certain): some decisions went out on Friday, more went out yesterday, and the majority are going out today. I am still not sure if more decisions are going out after today. I will post again when I get more information.

Congratulations!!!

 

[dhallows8]

How many people do they end up accepting historically?

 

[java09117]

Congrats to those who got an A!

No news today. Maybe tomorrow but I'm worried they've already sent out all A's : /

 

[panchito_ruff]

Did those that got accepted get emails the same day as the call?

 

[OCcalistud18]

How many people do they end up accepting historically?

I believe it's 28 total. 4 for Prime and 24 regular MD.

 

[branchez96]

Does CDU inform students that they're on the waitlist or is it silent?

 

[smallermarine]

I got an email right as we hung up on the phone.

 

[smallermarine]

Does anyone else mind sharing if they were offered a geffen scholarship during their acceptance call?

 

[PanoramicSurvivor]

Any accepted students mind sharing stats?

 

[Nvrgiveup01]

I believe it's 28 total. 4 for Prime and 24 regular MD.

Do you know from your source if all the acceptance calls have gone out already?

 

[premonist]

A current student in the Geffen sub said that all initial acceptances have been sent out by now (across all programs). I know CDU acceptances are “technically” separate but I know at some point they do have to communicate with each other.

Say it ain't sooo

I think WL offers started going out March 10-15 last year. That’s right around the corner. Historically, they send around 40-50 As. Not all students accept the offer, so others start hearing back after that.

I’m hoping I’m wrong but it’s healthier to be realistic haha.

Yeah I have a feeling the rest of calls/emails this week will be for WL spots

I don’t believe they call for WL unless you’re accepted off of it.

I asked abt Geffen during my acceptance call and was told they had all been given out

 

[OCcalistud18]

Yeah, I thought I was going to get some info today but that wasn't the case. There might still be some calls made today though.

Aww.. that sucks...

 

[canihelp]

Have any accepted students previously attended Drew post bac or masters programs

 

[Nvrgiveup01]

Any WL or R emails go out to anyone yet?

 

[OCcalistud18]

Have any accepted students previously attended Drew post bac or masters programs

I know of 3 CDU postbacc students who got accepted. 1 of these ended up in Drew Prime. I have not heard of anyone from the Masters.

 

[canihelp]

I’m assuming they all went out correct ?

 

[premonist]

I’m assuming they all went out correct ?

Someone on Geffen said traditional and PRIME acceptances have all gone out, but they were waiting on a Drew count. I don’t know what that means but for sake of sanity, I’m assuming that means they are done haha.

 

[ilikethebeemovie]

[EnEyeAitch]

Previous years have said we all get waitlisted if we aren’t accepted initially. I’m now stuck wondering why some get the WL offer before others. So many questions, no answers 😂

Perhaps they send out As, then WLs, then Rs

 

[branchez96]

i got it 6pm EST.

so like all students that interview get WL indefinitely till school starts?

I'd be lying if I tried to answer that question. I'm just going off of what others have reported, so take it with a grain of salt. Regardless of what I said, a WL is better than a flat out R so congrats thus far!

So I have heard (not 100% certain) that nobody gets rejected (at this point). Everyone is on the waitlist. However, those that actually get a WL email have a chance at getting any open spots. Those that don't get an email are really not being considered at the moment. CDU is very notorious for sending their Rs until the summer. But, things could be different this year since there are still some talks amongst the committee members.

Hi thank you for the update!! when you say there are still some talks among the committee members what do you mean?

Yeah that’s what I thought. From last year’s thread, some people got the WL email and some didn’t get anything at all. Some of those actually turned into As.

it’s been real y’all...

I actually thought there interview went really well too

 

[OCcalistud18]

Well, the funny part is that all decisions should be out by March 15th (pls correct me if I am wrong). For some reason, they are meeting at some point next week (After Monday). I'm not sure why this is happening. It seems a little odd since I am certain all applicants have been reviewed.

 

[Poohbear93]

Same here 😩

 

[OCcalistud18]

Yes, I think most people feel that way. Their interview is not bad. Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to get in. Lots of qualified applicants and some of their post-bac students usually get a few spots. But, I guess it's not over till it's over.
