Will there be more decisions this week or do we think that's it for the week?
Yes, people have been accepted. Even today!
I've been told by physicians who know him that he writes very positive applicant reviews and has a very dry humor that probably comes across as rude for a first time meeting. Stereotypical surgeon personality trope, it seems 😛
When I came out of my interview and off-handedly mentioned how brief my Q&A's were with him, Brian said "he's very good at what he does."

Also wondering this because I'm also not sure I've seen any pre-II Rs on here.
did you get a response to your email or did you just get an II a few days later? I got a response same day saying im still under review but their cycle is coming to an end. feels like its an L but still hoping for an interview :/
Just withdrew my A here! It was such hard to make this decision because it's a great program located in a cool city, but I've decided to pursue a cheaper option.
Hopefully one of you guys on the WL gets an A soon and has a chance to attend second look and celebrate! Best of luck to everyone!

This is charity work, you should receive extensive tax breaks
I didn't even get a response, just an automatic reply. Any advice?

Less than 48 hours before for me.
Thanks. Also, how long does interview day last?

I had all early interviews so it was only like four hours for me. Some people had later times. It just really depends on what time you get scheduled. there's breaks in between
How long ago was this?
Anybody know when Drexel going to release match list?

Has anyone been assigned the West Reading campus?
I was assigned that one
I just checked and mine has updated!
do any of you know what the dress code is for the campus visit?

I think just regular nice but casual clothes is fine (sweater and jeans for example)
How did you schedule a campus visit? Is it only for admitted students? Or also interviewees?
Hey! I think it’s after you get admitted!
I'm sure it just depends on the year and the number of people who decide to go somewhere else. For example I've been accepted here but I'm waiting on a post interview decision from my state school. If I get in there I'll give up my spot here. It's probably roughly the same number that get off the waitlist each year but it's hard to really know for sure how many it will be from year to year

If the accepted student visit day is coming up can someone ask Brian when WL movement is going to start? The phone number goes right to a voice mail. I don't want to leave a message asking when will WL movement start.

There's actually multiple campus tours offered! The last one they have listed is April 22nd if that helps.

That’s what I want someone going on the tour to ask. When is the first tour offered and is anyone going?

The first tour offered was in November. The next one is April 8th and the last one is April 22nd. Maybe the office closes early on Fridays and that's why it went to voicemail? I'd try calling again next week or sending an email!
I would think that they would wait until they've made final decisions for those that interviewed from mid/late January–March that haven't heard back yet before pulling people off the waitlist. But that may just be wishful thinking from someone who interviewed in February 😅
I interviewed March 16th, they basically told us not to expect to hear back until likely until early May. If that’s the case then I have no idea when to expect waitlist movement. Especially b/c I know they have interviews schedule through the entire month and even early April…
If I had to guess I’d say so, but who knows lol
In past years, huge waitlist movement happened in the first week of May, so the week after the 4/30 traffic deadline. And it's possible that people who interviewed in April may hear back at the same time or after the waitlist movement begins.
I believe the largest waitlist movement is in early May, then they trickle throughout June and early July.

Any idea why Drexel hasn't released their match list yet? Just curious!
They always do it late
Oh I didn't know that actually. Thank you for letting me know

Is Drexel still interviewing or is it way too late in the cycle?
A little earlier in the thread someone mentioned interview days in early April, FWIW.
I received an email a few days ago indicating I have to accept my financial 'aid' award (just unsubsidized federal loans) + get consultation within 2 weeks of receiving the message. Is accepting binding in any way I should be concerned about? I have yet to make my final decision on the school and don't want to accidentally commit to Drexel before I'm ready or have it mess up my financial aid status at other schools.
II late last week.
Were you ever on hold?

I haven’t been placed on hold or anything. Does anyone know what that means?
I've been on hold since September. Drexel if you're reading this, I'm still here for you.
