[rss22]

II today. IS ORM LM 70

 

[deleted1067657]

Were you guys "under review" before your IIs?

 

[TabbyTuxy]

Moment of sheer neuroticism:
The first II of 2019-2020 cycle was 8/12/2020. With the current struggle that is COVID-19 that delayed their application by 2 weeks (they had previously sent secondaries on 7/2), we could POTENTIALLY expect IIs on 8/26 (next week).

On another note, I'm high key debating sending an message through the MD program chat on their website x.x

You called it!

 

[Just_Daikon]

You called it!

truly curious, how do you have .5 of an interview 😵

Good question haha! Western Michigan University's MD program sends phone interviews (even during non-COVID) to 20% of their applicants, then a normal interview to half of the phone interviewees.

[pittb96]

Congrats! Complete date?

 

[Calizboosted76]

Should we just assume if people who are complete after you are receiving interviews then that’s a silent R?

Nah, schools don't always review applications in chronological order

 

[antibody dance now]

Complete 7/16.

Hi, could you talk a little bit about Drexel's preclinical curriculum and student-run organizations? Also, what was your favourite part of Drexel. I've seen a lot of negative posts on SDN about Drexel and was wondering your opinion on that. I recently received an II and am looking to figure out my answer for Why Drexel?

 

[breezys16]

that's a super fast turnaround -- congrats!

Very! I was surprised. Yay for prewriting lol

 

[musicmed26]

7/17

Congrats! You'll do great.
Did you ever see a change in your file? I submitted 7/22 and my status still says "Application Ready."

There are soo many student run organizations to be involved with!

preclinical i cannot really comment on as i was the last class of the old curriculum.

Ignore those posts. Drexel is still an MD school.

Drexel’s diversity stuff is what I liked most. So many opportunities to get involved in a lot of things, especially the underserved populations of Philly.

What diversity stuff are you referring to? Thanks for your response!

Drexel just serves a lot of the underserved populations so you get to see a lot of interesting people.

Is this because of the Philly area is extremely diverse or are you referring to a specific organization at Drexel that serves unserved populations?

Both!

II this morning, OOS, complete 7/16

 

[COMMANDER CLOWN]

Did i enjoy my classmates? No. Not really. I never really fit in with my classmates so the first two years kinda sucked lol i am a few years older, and one of the few who was married.

What's the student culture like? Lots of gunners and bullies and cliques?

I dont feel like we had a ton of gunners (that i know of), but there were cliques.

 

[premed1011]

Both!

Could you name some specific organizations? Also, do a lot of students participate in research and what research opportunities are there?

I was complete 7/24 and haven't heard anything! But you can always get off of hold for an II I believe but don't quote me on it. All you need is one acceptance, you can do it! <3
