Interviewed 4/15...hoping to hear back this Friday but honestly losing hope from the number of ppl on the WL

 

[jbc333]

this school was very unorganized, the financial aid team and ad coms gave conflicting information that took me weeks to sort out and still wasn't able to resolve in time for me to decide on this school and I've since dropped my A. if it is any reflection of the college of medicine it does not bode well. Good luck on the WL guys!!

any chance they gave you a campus decision before you had to decide on the A? I've been wondering how that would play out

 

[matchatealittle]

Wishing good luck to everyone waiting to hear back, crossing my fingers that we'll get some good news tomorrow!! Here's a dragon for good luck 🐉

lol finally got the big R after being put on hold in October

 

[premedjazz]

ahh the wait is killing me lol. Do they send out decisions throughout the day. Interviewed first week of april so I think it about time to hear back!!

 

[plsletmein2021]

What time do they usually give the decisions? Later in the evening?

Waitlisted Right Now. Interviewed April 15th

 

[msmathteacher]

Just withdrew my A! Interviewed 3/3, accepted 5/14, never waitlisted, never sent LOI. I found out my campus assignment today (exactly 2 weeks after getting the A), and they give you 3 weeks from A to decide. I was assigned Reading.

Anyway, hope one of you guys gets my spot! ✨

Did they give you the option to be on a waitlist for the main campus? This is a deciding factor for me as well 🙁

No, and I didn’t ask because I was already leaning towards my other option. I think it would be fine to ask though!

 

[theepremed]

I got the email to join the waitlist at 2pm EST. Interviewed April 13th. Joined the WL and will be sending an update. Last chance to go to med school this year but working on re-apps already!

edit: I’m hoping for reading campus if I do get the A

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Got an email of acceptance today, however I will be declining it. Hope it goes to one of you!

 

[vanillasalt]

Has anyone else who interviewed between 4/12-4/16 not heard back today? 😬 I wonder how they batched the decisions.

I interviewed 4/15 and haven’t heard back

I also interviewed that week and have not heard back! Don't know what to think of it haha

I interviewed 4/16 and haven't heard back. We technically have another hour before their day is over. I'm so nervous and anxious right now it's not even funny anymore LOL.

I feel you I’m super frustrated. I can’t have this feeling up until next Friday.

Anyone that interviewed 4/7 hear back? didn't receive anything so far

Also interviewed 4/7, haven't heard back yet

 

[coq10]

interviewed 4/8 and was waitlisted earlier today (won’t be joining the WL though) 😁best of luck everyone 🙏🏽

 

[plsletmein2021]

interviewed 4/12, haven't heard back either :/

 

[MissingCalifornia]

I interviewed 4/12 and haven't heard back yet... I'm starting to get worried 🙁

 

[theepremed]

I have no idea what it means to not be WL or be WL here. Weird that I interviewed after many of you and got the email today. Anyone have any insight on this?

I think it's just sporadic/random, I wouldn't read too much into it. Some people from my interview date heard back the week before I did.

Can you please share around when you interviewed? Thanks

 

[coffeegal144]

I wanted to say maybe we'll hear Monday..but then I remembered Monday is Memorial day. I guess we do have to wait until Friday :/ yikes

It’s been a while, but I think around early December. Honestly forgot I was on the WL for a bit.

I don't want to give you false hope, but I got my decision (WL) on a Tuesday or Wednesday. That was a month or so ago

I wouldn’t be surprised if they did Tuesday because of the holiday - but ya I wouldn’t get my hopes up. I was pleasantly surprised to at least receive a decision from them today.

 

[theepremed]

Hoping for some good news for us waiting for a decision or on the list tomorrow!

 

[plsletmein2021]

I got waitlisted just now :/

I got on the WL...let's say I get in..is it bad if I withdraw the WL eventually (if I don't hear back) after sending an LOI in May? Drexel is still my preferred school, however my other acceptance starts school VERY soon and if I get off the waitlist let's say in a month, that's going to be about a month in for my other school. I should have thought this out better with the LOI, but I was also hoping for an acceptance

The simple way to avoid this is by withdrawing from the WL. Why would you even consider staying on it once school starts, ESPECIALLY if you plan to decline???

Sorry I meant withdraw from the WL eventually! If I get in within 2 weeks or so I would go for sure!

Then, no problem! You sent a LOI and they sent a WL. Withdrawing from a WL is very different from declining an A, and isn't bad at all, especially if your other school has already begun classes!!! 🙂

I interviewed on 4/14 and haven’t heard back either… but I’m still happy for everyone else that got a decision 😊 I hope we hear good news later today

 

[theepremed]

No A’s huh? Anyone know if seats are full...?

Samesies 🙂

This might just be the SDN population, but I feel like it's so rare for people to get outright accepted (no WL first). I'd love to meet the people who did get that immediate A haha

 

[rubisco_disco]

I feel like they reserve seats in a manner such that each interviewee has a chance to be outright accepted. They said you're not interviewing for the waitlist

 

[zeze123123]

Interviews on 3/31 and still haven’t heard back anything. Did people who got WL get a specific email?
