I was complete on 08/13! I wasn't on hold and this was a pretty big surprise since I thought it was late in the cycle! I sent an update about 2 weeks ago!
I also got an II yesterday! Last date I saw available was 3/29 for those wondering

I interviewed in Oct and was deferred in Nov. I haven’t been put on the waitlist yet. Is that a good sign or not?
In other words, is WL>D or is D>WL?

I think deferred is better; you theoretically have a chance to go straight to A.

at my mid jan interview, they said they were hoping for 6 weeks turnaround, but looking at previous release dates, it doesn't seem like that is the current trajectory. Does anybody know how long of a break they took for interviews during the holidays?

Do the hold emails come before II's (sorry if that's a dumb question, what does the hold entail)? I haven't heard anything since submitting my secondary/when my app was complete 🙁
The hold would come before II, and they email you about it saying that they're putting a hold on considering your application for now...people ask because at Drexel it's pretty uncommon to get off the hold list. 🙁
But, if you haven't gotten a hold, you're still in the running!

Thank you so much for clarifying! Is there an algorithm for holds or is just random chance?

Can someone explain the "deferred status" a little more?
I am honestly having a really hard time choosing a medical school. Drexel is closest to my fiance and family support/ I have a few friends in Drexel already. However reading online, I have seen ALOT of negative press bc of the hospital closing. That being said there is a bunch of support on the other side saying the media is blowing things way out of proportion... I just want all fields of medicine to be an open door, I want research/ unique community service projects, and a good supportive faculty, as well as a for sure spot for residency (I am not particularly interested in ending up at Reading). Also I would like my clinical rotations to be do-able and not feel like I am missing out on anything. I have read some specialities are not accredited at Reading. Could an M4 or someone that has had an actual experience at Drexel please help me decide. My other options are Rush and Loyola, however Drexel's history really has a special place in my heart.
Not m4, but I heard two things 1) Drexel has a strong negative bias on sdn, but it’s a solid school with good connections in philly (can be beneficial if you want to stay in northeast for residency) 2) Drexel recently made a new contract with another hospital I heard? This one might be inaccurate because I didn’t confirm personally. Congratulations by the way, excellent schools!!!
Thank you so much 🙂 And I will look into if they have a new contract with a different hospital than those already listed.

They updated the portal on Friday to say that going forward, post-interview decisions will be released on a rolling basis as opposed to on established release dates. 🙂
What do you believe this means for deferred applicants 🧐
