2020-2021 Drexel

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
this school was very unorganized, the financial aid team and ad coms gave conflicting information that took me weeks to sort out and still wasn't able to resolve in time for me to decide on this school and I've since dropped my A. if it is any reflection of the college of medicine it does not bode well. Good luck on the WL guys!!
any chance they gave you a campus decision before you had to decide on the A? I've been wondering how that would play out
 
What time do they usually give the decisions? Later in the evening?
 
Just withdrew my A! Interviewed 3/3, accepted 5/14, never waitlisted, never sent LOI. I found out my campus assignment today (exactly 2 weeks after getting the A), and they give you 3 weeks from A to decide. I was assigned Reading.

Anyway, hope one of you guys gets my spot! ✨

Did they give you the option to be on a waitlist for the main campus? This is a deciding factor for me as well 🙁

No, and I didn’t ask because I was already leaning towards my other option. I think it would be fine to ask though!
 
Has anyone else who interviewed between 4/12-4/16 not heard back today? 😬 I wonder how they batched the decisions.
I interviewed 4/16 and haven't heard back. We technically have another hour before their day is over. I'm so nervous and anxious right now it's not even funny anymore LOL.

I feel you I’m super frustrated. I can’t have this feeling up until next Friday.
 
interviewed 4/8 and was waitlisted earlier today (won’t be joining the WL though) 😁best of luck everyone 🙏🏽
 
I interviewed 4/12 and haven't heard back yet... I'm starting to get worried 🙁
 
I have no idea what it means to not be WL or be WL here. Weird that I interviewed after many of you and got the email today. Anyone have any insight on this?

I think it's just sporadic/random, I wouldn't read too much into it. Some people from my interview date heard back the week before I did.
 
I wanted to say maybe we'll hear Monday..but then I remembered Monday is Memorial day. I guess we do have to wait until Friday :/ yikes
I don't want to give you false hope, but I got my decision (WL) on a Tuesday or Wednesday. That was a month or so ago

I wouldn’t be surprised if they did Tuesday because of the holiday - but ya I wouldn’t get my hopes up. I was pleasantly surprised to at least receive a decision from them today.
 
I got on the WL...let's say I get in..is it bad if I withdraw the WL eventually (if I don't hear back) after sending an LOI in May? Drexel is still my preferred school, however my other acceptance starts school VERY soon and if I get off the waitlist let's say in a month, that's going to be about a month in for my other school. I should have thought this out better with the LOI, but I was also hoping for an acceptance

The simple way to avoid this is by withdrawing from the WL. Why would you even consider staying on it once school starts, ESPECIALLY if you plan to decline???

Sorry I meant withdraw from the WL eventually! If I get in within 2 weeks or so I would go for sure!

Then, no problem! You sent a LOI and they sent a WL. Withdrawing from a WL is very different from declining an A, and isn't bad at all, especially if your other school has already begun classes!!! 🙂
 
No A’s huh? Anyone know if seats are full...?
This might just be the SDN population, but I feel like it's so rare for people to get outright accepted (no WL first). I'd love to meet the people who did get that immediate A haha
 
Interviews on 3/31 and still haven’t heard back anything. Did people who got WL get a specific email?
