Does Drexel accept letters of intent/interest? I sent a general update letter before my interview but wondering if I should also send a letter of interest since I haven’t heard back yet.

They do via portal. You can also email them your update if you have already used up your portal's allotted slots for either LOI or Update Letter.

Awesome! Should I also fill out the master promissory note as well or is that only needed towards the beginning of the semester? Not ready to sign off on any loans yet as I'm still figuring out the finances with my family.

They offered you half in unsubsidized Stafford loans (lower percent, still accrues during school). The rest is covered by a higher interest rate Grad PLUS loan.

The limit on Stafford for Medical is 40,500/yr (which I'm assuming is what they offered you).

Can I PM you?
 
I've been on hold since Feb 18th. I've attended all of the open house sessions. All I can say that even if I am not offered an II, although it is my first choice school, I believe they are making the extra steps to not rush the process. They said they received a 24% increase in applications this past yr, so they are reviewing and re-reviewing everyone who is waitlisted, on hold, etc. They are actively giving out IIs and A's still. They said if you did not get the R then its not over. They thought they would be holding interviews through April, but it might now extend into May. That's how careful they are being and I really appreciate that. So stay faithful, guys!!!

I have about a 3.0 in undergrad from a million years ago but a 4.0 in a post bacc and masters. My mcat was 508. I'm an old nurse though so I have around 20,000 clinical hours and did some other activities. I got into a school closer to home so I withdrew my app after the invite. Good luck to everyone on here!

I have tried everything and cannot get in for the life of me. No matter what information I use it says it’s incorrect.

i'm having similar issues. i can't set up my multi-factor authentication, so getting into the drexel connect portal is impossible 🥵

when i retrieved my accounts, it said it might take some time for the 365 account to activate, so i'm hoping that's the issue.

did either of you get yours resolved?

Trying to stay faithful but I also don't want to build my hope too high. I've been burned before (see attached meme).

I was able to figure it out! When you go to log in you have to hit help and settings while on a laptop and activate the account and then it took me to a website to set up the multi factor authentication app and now I can get in easily! Message me if you have more issues
 
has anyone confirmed with admissions that we can email them more updates/letters of interest? A little hesitant to send because they limit you on the portal so Im guessing the don’t want to be barraged with updates
