You can always commit to the master's program and withdraw if you get accepted to Drexel. You'll lose the deposit fees but at least you'll have a backup in case things don't work out. Honestly, as a current reapp, so much money has gone down the drain. I just try to look forward and think about the potential money I can make lol

ALSO i would highly consider only doing an SMP or master's if your GPA was low. If you do have to apply again you want to make sure you spend the next gap year correcting the weakness of your app

Yeah this is what I was planning to do as well as reach out to Drexel. My GPA was not low, but I want to get my MPH so I would be doing that. Have been strengthening my app in other ways this year by getting much more clinical experience. Not too worried about losing a $500 deposit at this point considering the money I've spent already lol

Damn 11 weeks is crazy long to wait. I had a school which I waited about three months to hear post interview also but that was earlier in the cycle.

 

[tachyinTX]

I wonder if there will be any decisions today

Constantly refreshing to no avail. I guess it's gonna be another anxious weekend!

 

[Dr.StevieBrule]

Shoutout Drexel for not updating my financial aid after I updated FAFSA in March. Bad look.

Will be withdrawing later today.

 

[CrabcakesandFootball]

Conspiracy theory: they over admitted and aren’t giving aid to hope people drop.

 

[HannahSparkle]

Small update which those awaiting post-II decision can ignore:
Admissions (an assistant director) did finally respond to a request for a status.
Email was kind and also stated that interviews have concluded.
Best of luck to those waiting after an interview and those on the WL.

 

[mistybay]

does anyone know of any group chats out there for drexel?

 

[ajv1213]

MSAR states 60/300 get As off the WL. That's 20%. Oh man...

So does that mean Drexel has 300 WL spots and roughly 60 students will get acceptances? Or is that saying that out of the class of 300 students, 20% of the class (60 students) is from the WL? I hope the latter, since that means they likely pull from the WL a lot

From my understanding it means that only 60 people on the waitlist get accepted. And that’s an average could be more, could be less…

This whole page turned into a meme I’m done

+1

 

[MotorLover]

Interviewed 3/15 or something. Going to hear a decision in June, it seems

 

[Abu4]

is a WL at this point more so a post ii R?

 

[scratch unable]

WL from a 1/27 interview just now. Lol

 

[epidermis78]

I was on Drexel's waitlist last year and I didn't get in. Even set in a few updates. There's no guarantee my friend

Drexel has 300 WL spots.

 

[epidermis78]

It's not happening today, is it.
Hoping I got off the WL today cause my PCOM deposit is due today. Really hoping I could save the 750.

750!!!!! thats wild

 

[Milan909]

750!!!!! thats wild

Had to pay 1500 for one of my schools which I now will lose since I am withdrawing...

 

[deleted771945]

Lol one DO school was asking for 2000 and I noped out of that so hard.

 

[KnightDoc]

Absolutely not. If you look back at prior year threads, you'll see people be placed on the WL in late April or early May, and then receive an A a few days later. WL is WL. If you are highly ranked on their ranked WL, you will receive an A. If not, not. Good luck!!!

What time exactly. Sorry freaking out also cause I'm supposed to be one of the mid feb decisions

 

[sirborbus]

within the last 10 minutes.

 

[epidermis78]

within the last 10 minutes.

Aha so they dont send decisions all at once. its more like batches.

 

[bojackhorseman_premed]

Just got the A 10 minutes ago. 2/15 interview

 

[epidermis78]

maybe they forgot about me:/

Im with you my friend

 

[milo1130]

was this over email? I interviewed 2/15 and have not heard anything...

 

[epidermis78]

They are wayyy behind compared to last year. At this time last year they were giving decisions for people in March and had begun to take people off the waitlist.

 

[tachyinTX]

Guess they just skipped over me!

 

[lucky1098]

Got the acceptance today! interviewed on 2/9. good luck to everyone still waiting!!

 

[deleted771945]

Guess they just skipped over me!

Yeah they tend to do that lol

 

[sirborbus]

Any lurking current/former students willing to share their thoughts on their time at Drexel?

 

[nervygirl002]

I had sent a LOI back in Feb I think, and then was waitlisted in March. Should I be sending any additional updates to express my continued interest? I do not really have any substantial updates to add but want the school to know I am still very interested (but also don't want to nag)!

If it makes you feel better, do it. If not, no worries. Two updates in 3 months is hardly nagging!

If you just go back in this thread, you will see people having success who sent nothing, and people being ghosted who sent multiple updates. Drexel is so behind, and so disorganized, that it really looks like they are not doing anything with updates this cycle. Good luck!!!

 

[nadal123]

Anyone heard off the WL?

 

[eirnldmnie]

Does anyone know if we will be getting anymore decisions this week?

 

[Dr. Drake Ramoray]

Does anyone know if we will be getting anymore decisions this week?

They tend to release most decisions Monday and Tuesday...so there's still a chance this week for early/mid february interviewees (and any stragglers from Jan)

 

[PrayHands]

Does anyone know if Drexel will wait to get back to everyone before pulling off the waitlist? Just trying to mentally prepare for a new application cycle lol

 

[epidermis78]

last year they did it side by side. some people were still waiting for decisions while some got off the waitlist

 

[tachyinTX]

Has anyone had luck reaching out to Brian or someone else in admissions? I don't want to be annoying, but I'd love to know when I can expect to hear something...

 

[imbeggingyou]

Lol one DO school was asking for 2000 and I noped out of that so hard.

LMAO we all know what school that is haha, but same

I feel like Brian’s job is just to give a very vague answer about the timeline (always seems to throw in “give or take a week” at the end of whatever date he says) in an effort to stall and buy the committee some time. I don’t think he actually knows, or has any control over it at least, since every timeline he’s given to friends who’ve asked and others here on SDN has been at least a couple weeks off from the actual time they hear back.

Great username. Also, you are a lot smarter than the character who plays you on TV.

 

[jdbp14]

I withdrew my acceptance today so fingers crossed for all of you waiting!
