stay in same room until your faculty and student interviews when they put you into break out rooms but you don't need to do any navigation really, it's just accepting the invitation to the breakout room

thank you!!🙂

i need to know their future release dates 😫

 

[floridaheatkills]

To those people who were recently accepted last Friday (2/19), did Drexel show up on the AMCAS "Choose Your School" Tool?

 

[Timelessness]

we cant make a facebook until the official one is made later in the spring, but i honestly might just make a groupme if people would want one?

This would be a great idea! I’m in, just let me know what the group is.

 

[futuredoc0913]

Is Drexel's $100 seat deposit fully refundable before 4/30?

 

[premed3life]

Just got an email for a pre-II hold rn

SAME.

Can any students comment on what it’s like now in regards to clinicals since the closing of the hospital back in 2019??? How do you think it will impact learning, forming connections, residency, etc

 

[Just_Daikon]

decided to be a 1000% neurotic premed and email the admissions office about release dates for March/April. I'll report back when I receive an answer.

edit to add: Apparently received an automated email that any questions for admissions will be responded to in 5-7 days.

Does anyone have any information on expressing continued interest here? Currently on hold, Drexel is in my top 2 choices.

Have you sent an update letter?

know someome who goes there and tbh, it's a **** show. there's a lottery system for all year sites (which aren't really IN philly) and if you don't get an all year site, you'll have to rotate through different hospitals.

 

[houseplantaficionado]

Have you sent an update letter?

I have! Two actually (the admissions office uploaded the second for me).

 

[Earthworm Slim]

Waitlist just now. Interviewed on 11/2

 

[pablopizza]

Waitlisted, interviewed early December

+1. Oh well

 

[Otatop]

Waitlisted here too... interviewed 11/18. Does anyone here know how dynamic it is when they tell you dynamic LOL

 

[Zeyno99]

waitlisted here too! Interviewed 11/24 , also wondering how dynamic the waitlist actually is and if it helps at all to submit an update letter?

 

[Just_Daikon]

According to MSAR, 300 people are offered waitlist spots for 60 acceptance offers. You're allowed 3 update letters.

 

[theoriginalyaga]

for the people that posted about a "waitlist", was it a "waitlist" or "deferred"?

 

[Zeyno99]

for me it was a "waitlist" specifically!

Waitlist

Waitlist

thank you for confirming! i wonder what the difference between those deferred and those waitlisted is...if anyone has insight.

 

[Bill Haas]

I'm no expert, but "deferred" sounds a lot like "hold" to review later.
Waitlist - to me means you're almost there - now plead your case and convince them about how awesome a doctor you will be if offered a spot !

 

[hopefulpremed100]

deferred is better than waitlist, deferred means u can be accepted, waitlist you have to wait till accepted people withdraw their acceptance

 

[theoriginalyaga]

@Bill Haas @hopefulpremed100 thank you both for your comments!

 

[tunaktunak]

Might've been asked before, but have any deferred applicants been offered an A, WL, or R yet? Or does anyone know approximately when deferred applicants will get "reviewed"?

 

[Julatteluver]

does anyone know when drexel is done with interviews?

 

[msd021]

Waitlisted, interviewed early December

What was your interview date?

 

[Bill Haas]

deferred is better than waitlist, deferred means u can be accepted, waitlist you have to wait till accepted people withdraw their acceptance

Thanks @hopefulpremed100 for the correction !

 

[kelly09213]

WL today, interviewed 11/19 but didn't have high hopes since my interview didn't feel all that great

 

[Lychiisa]

Nope, I haven’t seen any decisions on deferred applicants in this thread so far. Not sure if it’s just the SDN sample size. But hopefully they’ll make some soon!

 

[sssmed]

Hi. Can someone clarify the waitlist for me? Can someone be accepted off the waitlist before the cycle ends? Or does the cycle need to end first?

 

[blondaaayyy]

Just got the hold but still in consideration email. Is it too late for that to turn into an interview at some point this cycle?
Have they done pre-ii R here yet?

 

[dindjarin87]

Just withdrew. Hopefully, this opens up a seat for one of you all!

+1

 

[epidermis78]

I was also WL feeling a little sad cause this was the only school I wanted to get into 😞. Does anybody know when they start looking at WL spots. Good luck to everyone else

 

[mavenx]

I just got waitlisted too after being deferred the last few months. This is unfortunate🥺

to confirm, you were previously on a "deferred" status and have now been waitlisted?

 

[10vbplayer]

Has anyone heard from mstp yet?

 

[dalmav41]

Has anyone else who interviewed in late November/early December not received a decision yet? Interviewed late November and haven't been deferred or waitlisted yet. Not sure what to make of it

 

[hopefulpremed100]

I was interviewed early december and am still waiting for a decision as well. I feel that if we haven't heard anything they're probably gonna release our decisions next

 

[entertainerment]

To add another data point, I was deferred in December and still have not heard anything.

 

[Type_A_Personality21]

I was offered WL on Tuesday. I interviewed 9/22 and was deferred in October I believe.

+1, but interviewed in october, deferred in november

I was offered WL on Tuesday. I interviewed 9/22 and was deferred in October I believe.

[premedgirl98]

[ohmggthissux]

+1, but interviewed in october, deferred in november
