2020-2021 Drexel

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Finished my interview today. The faculty and student interviewers were both great, my experience was definitely relaxed, as far as interviews go. I came out of the interview with much more interest than I had going in.

Good luck to everyone!

Thank you for the info!! I’m an excited ball of nerves for my interview tomorrow.
 
How far ahead are you informed of who your interviewer is?
 
Received R. I thought being silent was better than being on holding but I was wrong. Good luck everyone!
Aww I’m sorry fam,but hopefully, an II is coming your way soon! I think a good way of thinking about rejections (stolen from Reddit) is to think of rejections as a redirection in that the school has realized that you and them wouldn't necessarily fit and that they couldn't help you; thereby helping to draw you towards the schools where you'll fit/belong.

Good luck to you!
 
Are faculty interviews and student interviews each 45 min? Do they still have the essay portion?

Faculty was about 30-35 minutes for me, and student interview was also the same. They do not have the essay portion for this cycle.
 
I just got an email saying I was put on hold as well. Completed in mid August. OOS, URM
 
Reading through last years thread it seems like August people weren’t review until January. Is that a fair assumption? Seems like a death sentence for me to have been complete end of August
 
Um, did anyone get an email from Drexel about their virtual Open House Fall series that say "your application has been submitted"? But I never submitted my primary app to here? Are they telling me to apply/donate my money to them? XD
 
Yea I got it (I applied in July) I’m confused bc I haven’t heard about II/R/hold so what’s the deal?
Basically I can’t imagine them sending this **** to ppl they don’t intend to II. But the kid who got it without even applying makes this feel kinda dubious.
 
I am that kid lol. Here's what the email said:

"We are back with the Fall Virtual Open House Series! The dates for the event are listed below and will always begin at 6pm EST. Your application is submitted and we would love for you to come learn more about our program! We will explore topics on some of our clinical affiliates, misconceptions of the application process, information about our new campus in Reading, PA, and a Q&A session! We hope to see you there!

Those who have already interviewed, when did you get the email regarding specific times and such about the interview, interviewer, Zoom Link, etc. My interview is tomorrow, but have not received anything other than the generic information available through the portal. Thanks!
 
Anyone know when DUCOM releases their first round of acceptances? October 15th? Later?

I actually got my specific time/interviewer during the late afternoon, Pacific Time. Though this may vary because I've heard someone else said theirs was updated on the morning of their interview. Good luck! 🙂

They sent me an invite and I was put on hold a month ago... seems pretty sketchy
 
Idk if anyones checked the portal today, but an update was posted in the status section with decision release dates for interviewed applicants. I haven't gotten an interview, so I'm assuming it'll show up for everyone.
 
Anyone just get ANOTHER drexel open house email? Wtf is this tease? I got one yday
 
got one today for the first time, I haven’t gotten an II/hold or anything from them so I don’t get the point of this
Same. No II/hold. Literally I got the same email yesterday???? Why are they playing with my mental health like this
 
when will decisions come out
