“Linda Berardi-Demo, EdD, associate dean for admissions, enrollment and student affairs, is leaving Drexel on November 30. She has accepted a position as executive vice president for student support for Saba University School of Medicine, Medical University of the Americas and St. Matthew’s University…Cheryl Hanau, MD, professor and chair of the Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, will assume leadership of the Office of Admissions in the interim, and Vanessa Pirrone, PhD, associate professor in the Department of Microbiology & Immunology, will serve as assistant dean of admissions going forward.”
I took my EMT course at DUCOM, but do they care about stuff like that?
Any idea what the post-II acceptance rate for Drexel is?

Hi all. I was recently accepted here. How long after submitting your campus preference did you get your assigned campus? Thanks!
They run “lotteries” for campus assignments every so often. I believe they’ve only done one so far. They mentioned on the Facebook page that they are looking to do another one soon
historically yes! i'm not sure that trend holds true for the interview cycles during the pandemic. They are able to interview a higher number of people (people towards the latter of the cycle don't have many acceptance hence less likely to give up a seat here). I also haven't seen a whole lot of people withdrawing acceptances here although sdn isn't the best place to poll for that
I don't think they care. Unless you are maybe alumni or are in one of their linkage masters programs
Last cycle it was 45-50%. I'm a re-applicant. They told me this last year during my interview. Not sure about the stats for this cycle
I thought it went well haha but who knows lol At this point I’ll likely give them a strong letter of intent update to my portal (since this is my #1 school) and just hope and pray haha
Accepted! Interview date 2/2

Did you send a LOI?

I did not. I just sent thank you letter after the interview.
Well, it was 3 AM in Korea, so in the afternoon??

Sorry for spamming with questions, but did you send the thank you letter to admissions or directly to your interviewer?
Given all the times that this ^^^^ is the answer, why do people still swear by the magical powers of LOIs? They are tie breakers at the very end when making calls off a WL. They just don't turn maybes into yeses before then!!!

Give it up for Day 89 post-interview.

I am most likely withdrawing my acceptance in the near future. Just gotta gather the heart to pull the trigger and say bye to living in Philly which breaks my heart

Surveying people so I can confirm it lol
No worries. I totally get it, and there is certainly no harm in sending letters. I was just posting for everyone stressing about it, thinking they actually make a difference, especially pre-decision.
Every once in a while, someone will post swearing a cause and effect. Once in a blue moon that might even be the truth but, in general, we are judged by the strength of our applications, not the level of our desperation. Had @Justlikethat actually sent a LOI, you'd be "confirming" a causation that was actually just a coincidence.
Oh its fine! I didn’t have the email so I just uploaded in the portal.
Wish you the best!

Pre-II R after being on hold in september
Silence since I applied in July. Are they still sending out II's?
I wouldn't keep your hopes up about getting an interview at this point. it is VERY late in the cycle to get an interview
@RinTohsaka22 Send the LOI!
I was told during the orientation portion of the interview that it helps sort out those who are really interested in attending DUCOM and those that are not, especially later in the cycle - which is now. Just don't be sloppy when writing it. GL

I'm assuming we won't see any post-II decisions today?
I'd say so...I wouldn't be surprised if those that interviewed in the 2nd week of Feb don't hear back until next week. I don't know why I got my hopes up for 8 weeks when the trend has been more like 10 weeks post interview with them haha

It'll be 10 weeks next week for me, but two weeks ago they told me I should hear back in 1-2 weeks. So I got my hopes up lol.

There are still people from December and January who didn't hear back so don't get your hopes up.

Still? Without even a waitlist notification? That is absurd.
