Thank you! Yes I did send a couple of updates and a letter of interest!
Did they assign you to Reading campus?

I’m assigned to the queen lane Philly campus!
It is my understanding that the Reading campus is an all new facility with the classes working at the Reading Hospital. All classes are taught with the same curriculum whether its main campus or Reading. Currently the 3rd and 4th years are doing rotations at Reading and the class will join this 1st year class. With the exception of less housing available, there doesn't seem to be any real downsides.
manifesting some movement tomorrow!!!!!!!
BLACKPINK IN YOUR AREA!!!!!

I think we are reaching a point where very few will drop
Do you have any WL movement updates from the adcom member you spoke to earlier?
Hahahah what a question my dude. I have no updates. I interviewed in November was deferred for 2 months then was waitlisted in feb and have had no updates from this school since

Accepted off the waitlist on 6/18! On hold right after I applied in August 2020, II on 3/27, interview on 4/5, waitlisted on 6/1. Undergrad GPA 3.0, Postbac GPA 4.0, MCAT 506. IS, URM. I luckily also got another offer at a school that I prefer to Drexel so I'll be deferring here. Hoping this goes to one of you that are still waiting! Good luck guys and Godspeed!
I ended up rejecting my acceptance offer. Good luck! I'm hoping one of you takes my spot 🙂
Did anybody else on the waitlist just get that West Reading Informational session email?
edit: got an email a few hours ago about an information session for accepted students, but I’m still on the waitlist. Not sure if this was a mistake or if there’s an A coming?

I have not received that email. I hope that means some good news for you!
Out of curiosity have any accepted students received this email? Not really sure what this means so I just emailed admissions..

If they reply please let us know! I didn't get the email (on waitlist) but am curious as to how they would make a mistake.. or assuming it's a good sign and that you have an A coming, that's weird they didn't send it out to you already. Also just curious did your portal update at all?
Portal and CYMS haven't changed at all. Even checked my spam folder to see if I was missing anything! Just a weird situation and hoping something good comes from it

Has anyone reached out to Drexel recently about waitlist movement/uncovering where they are on the waitlist?
I just sent my third update today and I was wondering if I should email them to see where I stand or if they predict more waitlist movement.

It happened. I received their secondary for the next cycle and then the acceptance came in an hour afterwards. I am in disbelief at the moment.

CONGRATS!!!!!! That is so amazing!!!
When did you interview if you don't mind me asking?

Do any accepted students know exactly what day the academic calendar starts? Asking because this would determine how long I stay on the WL given I am OOS and would need time to relocate. Thanks!

Sending out good vibes for everyone still waiting - Drexel was my only interview this cycle, WL 5/17. Teetering between 1.) hanging on to my last irrational shred of hope and 2.) moving on at this point - feels bad man
Did you hear back with any info about when we can expect further waitlist movement or if there will be waitlist movement at all?

Was on pre II hold and finally got the R today (definitely knew it was coming lol)
Drexel's CTE is this Friday (7/9/21). Does anyone know what this means for waitlisted applicants?
coffeegal144

I'm guessing this means people who are holding the acceptance but don't plan to go will have to drop? However, I don't see why there would be many people in this position given how late it is. Anyone know anything from past years?

If it’s anything like what happened with Wayne, we prob aren’t gonna hear back and they will send a rejection email right before school starts to everyone on the WL (barring people who may drop at the last second)

Slowly losing hope 🙁
I'm on the waitlist, but I was checking the DUCOM Class of 2025 Facebook page and it said there were 16 new members in the last week. Kinda crazy to think about, but it looks like it's still happening.
Also it seems like most of the waitlisted applicants were those who interviewed later in the cycle, like in March or April of 2021. Is anyone here still on the waitlist that interviewed some time in 2020? I'm wondering if the waitlist tends to disfavor applicants who interviewed later...

I saw there were new members too and was trying to convince myself maybe its upperclassmen...but I should probably face reality :/
