For the record, the deadline is actually next Monday, not Friday. Also, most schools will be reasonable and will give you an extension if you are still waiting for financial information. You should definitely ask, and probably should not wait until the last minute to do so. I don't think it is reasonable to expect anyone to make a decision like this without that information, or to be expected to make one in a few hours. JMHO.
Completely agree. They sent an email saying that a PTE decision is required by the 30th to hold your seat at Drexel. Hopefully that means they’ll be sending that stuff out at least a few days prior to that😬
And remember, 4/30 falls on a Saturday this year. They are probably cut and pasting from prior years, because, this year, they will not be able to see what you did until 5/2.
During the campus visit day last week, Brian said they would likely start to release scholarship decision this week...
Nothing yet. Interviewed 2/17
I am just speculating here, but my guess would be no. Most of February and the entirety of March have not reported decisions yet. Hopefully, the interviews are ending the decision process will speed up, but next week seems like too short of a time frame.
This school, in particular, does not have a history of under promising and over delivering, so I'd go with what you are being told rather than speculating on something better.
Did you try contacting them? I interviewed 1/26 and heard back right on the 8 week mark
+1 but 2/16 i think
I have not yet, but I will today, it’s kinda ridiculous at this point.
I straight up laughed out loud when I read that Brian said it will only be 6 weeks. I'm sorry man, big cap from them 😅
Yea it sounds like cap. It's been a bit over 6 weeks for me (interviewed in mid-March), no decision yet
There is a GroupMe for the Reading campus. Not sure about the Philly campus
The only thing you have to do is file your FAFSA WITH your parent information included. Nothing else must be done
Yeah I’m surprised that they’ve gone over a week since anything. I interviewed literally the next interview day following 2/9 and just keep telling myself that surely it’ll come any day now…
From what's been reported on here, it sounds like they're still working on the February interviewees so we still have some waiting to do :/
Oh boy haha. The worst part! Thanks for the answer 🙂
That's what I would think yeah.
Is the MSAR data from last cycle or 2019-2020
that's what I'm planning on doing! I'm planning on living close to QL and then move right before 2nd year
idk honestly
Initially did FAFSA without parent info, and corrected it 4 weeks ago. Have not received updated package, even reached out lmao. They've got 2 days left I guess.
Are you from PA and have you visited QL area? Leaning toward Center City, living very close to the shuttle. Mostly because I think that the QL area seems really quiet and not very vibrant for getting food from Trader Joe's, quick errands, and the library is only open 8am-5pm (not sure will even study there, but a factor nonetheless). The library in New College across from the shuttle stop is open 24 hours, even though not designated the Med School library. Does anyone have any info to the contrary?
Where’s the shuttle stop located exactly? Thinking of doing the same
Across the street from Hahnemann. 15th and Race.
I'm not from PA but I've visited QL twice now! I do agree that it's a bit quiet and there aren't many options for groceries, etc. but for me I'd rather be as close to campus as possible. I also love the East Falls area and don't mind living there 🙂 Personally, as well, I've moved apartments so many times that I'm fine moving again to University City campus after M1.
Yikes!!! I want to e-mail but am afraid I'll just get ghosted 🙁
Same- I almost laughed out loud in my interview when they said 6 weeks because I had been following this thread. I don’t understand how they haven’t caught up at all.
funny enough I did email and I was told that I would have an initial decision by this week. LOL
I'm just a lurker but wanted to pass on this: Hours - Drexel University Libraries , seems like the QL library is open 24/7 per their update as of 4/7/2022!
In your case, given your masters deadline, I would email and call drexel tomorrow and have it sorted out. What do you guys think?
