2020-2021 Drexel

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
My application status still says "application is ready" and the last communication in the communications tab I've had with them was on 10/6 when my application was deemed complete... I feel like I am just waiting for a pre-II R
Its terrible when you were complete late and then people complete like two months later are getting II's. Big Ouch.
 
Yea but there are also people complete after me who got pre-II R's, which is why I feel like I and other people like me are in a weird limbo
same! I don't think limbo is a bad thing (though I am on hold). I have had friends interview at DUCOM in April (one of them got off hold) and they got accepted in like June
 
My hot/ entirely based on no logic whatsoever take: given last year people in early Dec heard back in the Feb decision date, they realized they were behind so they decided to front load a random decision day so they could be on track again. They also did say that they were going to add more decision days so this is in alignment with that sentiment.

alternatively they just said yolo to the 2/19 decision date and decided to release them early.

As a December interviewer with Drexel as one of my top choices.. anxiety in refreshing email every 10 seconds is now 1000 x.x
 
Same, hopefully they give decisions to the deferments soon!
I'm in the same boat, but I looked through last year's thread and found that besides a few accepted deferrals in December, deferred apps were not touched until May/June. I'm hoping it's not the case this year but I'm gonna take this as a likely waitlist as to not get my hopes up.
 
anyone else get an email about having to finalize financial aid package within 2 weeks? confused if this is binding or not...?
 
Yeah I got it. Don’t think it’s binding. I god my loan package with zero scholarships (so far). Making it really hard to pick Drexel over cheaper places
me too, im confused if they even looked at our scholarships apps yet or if they award that later on?
 
For all those accepted students: were you able to fill out the scholarship application despite not having a Drexel ID? Or will I have to wait to receive an ID number to apply?

i think they gave you the Drexel ID in the original email where they mentioned the financial aid/scholarship app process
 
Congrats! Could you share your stats? Thanks!
I applied md/mph
3.69 cgpa, 3.59 science gpa
mcat is confusing- 508 is my best of two, but 512 if best across subsections.
3000 clinical hours as er scribe/chief scribe
700+ in clinical research
other non clinical work and volunteering
 
Thank you! Just curious, where did you find this? I didn't see it in any emails and I want to make sure I'm not missing anything else
i think after they sent the initial financial aid email and mentioned scholarship app i just googled it. they definitely didnt make it super easy to find so i wouldnt worry!
 
Ok what is going on. I interviewed 11/2 and have not gotten any correspondence at all. This wait is actually torturous and I feel like they straight up just forgot about me :’(
