For those of you that got in off of the waitlist, did you write an LOI?

WL this morning, interviewed 4/30, sent a LOI before 5/30. They're telling us that waitlist movement can still happen into orientation week, but I live in California...

It's strange that all the recent WL movement has been people who were placed on the WL just a few days prior. I wonder if this means anything or if they will ever end up getting to some of the older WL folks?

Likely that they review interviewed applicants, place them on the ranked waitlist, and take them off when ppl decline A’s. Probably they were placed super high on the waitlist because of certain aspects of their apps (high test scores/economic or racial demographic/hardships etc.)

Yes! I've been trying to work on my application in case I have to reapply, but there's a small part of me hoping to hear something good soon!

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

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!

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

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

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 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.

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.

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!
