No, this is my first time hearing anything from Drexel ever since I submitted my secondary
Pre-II hold. Any idea what the chances of II are at this stage?

II just now. Very surprised! OOS and complete in September. Did not send an update.
If you haven't gotten an II yet, as of a few minutes ago, every single weekday in March (except for the 1st week) and many dates in April were still open, so I wouldn't be surprised if more II's are forthcoming!
For anyone who has scheduled an interview — when you enter your coursework, what are we supposed to put for the last two sections (COMM and CLIN)? I assume we're not supposed to put classes for that, right? Are we supposed to just list volunteer/clinical experiences there?

I believe this is how I feel after I see anyone report an interview from any school that hasn’t sent me one 😂😂 the pain is real y’all

I feel this. FWIW, I got one II in early fall like a week after I submitted my secondary. As such, I was completely convinced they wanted me and thought I crushed the interview. Long story short, I was promptly waitlisted and haven't heard from them since 🤡
Anyway, that was 5 months ago and I was confident the cycle was over for me. I couldn't even motivate myself to send an update letter anywhere. Then, out of nowhere, I got two II's (including this one today) just recently.
I really didn't believe the "it's not over till its over" BS until this week, but it's really not! Hang in there!
For those who have just recently gotten II's, did you submit an update?

Nope, I didn't send them anything after I submitted my secondary. The II was my first communication from them since July

Has anyone gotten off pre-II hold yet?
At what point are we told if we will be in the Philly or reading campus if accepted?

Nope, didn't send an update (had planned to but couldn't motivate myself/didn't have anything substantial to add). Got the II last night.

Did you hear after the call? I mean, about a decision?
Might have to do with the fact tomorrow is Mardi Gras, I know some of the residents where I scribe got today and tomorrow off because of it. Though idk if it matters for med school adcoms, I imagine Philly has plans of its own in observation of it. SKMC wasn't in the office today either when I called.
Not yet
Hey everyone. While filling out fafsa, we are filling out the 2022-2023 form right? Not the 2021-2022... on Drexel portal, it says 2021-2022 but that might be a typo?
ya! i filled out the 2022-2023 and it processed successfully!
Thank you !

Looking through last years thread, people were getting II's through mid April. I feel like early March is within the running of having a decent chance.

Nothing, Brian (admissions guy) told me on my interview day that you could leave those blank. They're only for classes that relate to community service or clinical experience. If you have it elsewhere on your app as an EC, you don't list it there.

Just put whatever is most relevant. I didn't slot everything I had under each category, just three I thought were most important/had the best grades in.
under labs i put formal lab classes, NOT my for-credit research.

self-aware, neurotic post but this is driving me a little nuts. I'm sitting at over 100 days post interview with zero communication (as I see others are also). I have seen previous deferrals in this thread but haven't seen one for a while. As they told us 6-8 weeks and it's been double that for quite some time now, I am assuming I'm deferred/rejected but have been waiting in anxiety for weeks to get that email.
As the admissions committee seems active in handing out pre-ii rejections and recent acceptances, anyone have any idea what's going on with our forgotten applications? I would happily take a post interview R email right now to end the waiting.

Got put on interview hold on March 1. I know it's "never over until it's over" , but at this point Drexel is playing games.
