Don't fret, there have been students with 520+ MCATs given IIs closer to the end of the cycle so don't worry about stats. You're either in it or you're waiting.

Seeing this wave of Rs and Holds, is having radio silence since early July submission good?
Mid November 🙂 they said we’d definitely hear back in 6-8 weeks and 8 weeks is fast approaching… I am optimistic about hearing back this Friday. That being said I’ve been optimistic about hearing back for the last few Fridays as well lol
it’s not good, not bad. It’s like lukewarm water. Or flat soda. Or like stale chips. It’s not the best thing, but Imma still take it 😂
Lmbo we can all use a little humor rn! Amazing writing, I trust that your PS will stand out! 🤌[emoji2533]

Congrats! Stats?
The SDN interview feedback page was on point for this school, I found! No out of the ordinary questions except my faculty interviewer asked me if I had ever been to an open house lol. One interview was one-on-one with a faculty member and one was a group interview with a med student and two other interviewees. The group interview was lowkey awkward, but I just powered through lol.

Anyone know how much the group interview influences admissions? Feel like that went really well for me as my group was awesome, but not sure if that is just a net neutral for admission?
I interviewed 12/2. Fingers crossed

Ya seems that way. Well guess I’ll keep stressing another week.
All those deffered earlier, anybody sent a LOI yet?

Interviewed 11/09. I just got an email that I have been deferred, from what I have seen online, that's pretty similar to being waitlisted?

From what I know, defer means they have not made a decision yet. Based on sdn last year, they will either accept or waitlist you later. It sounds like they are behind I don’t know why they waited so long to defer you. I interviewed 11/7 and was deferred 12/2.
II just now, OOS, LM ~72. They had slots available through March on the portal!
Yes, sent one about a week or so after being deferred 11/4/22 - interviewed 9/21/22

Does anyone with a later submission date say late Sep the beginning of October that has gotten an interview yet? just seeing if I have chances of getting something
First II of the cycle! OOS low stat complete mid-Aug. Dates available throughout Feb and March
Congrats!!! Did you just get the II or was it earlier today?
It was around 2pm eastern!
OOS II this afternoon complete 8/14. Does anyone know if they do not include AP classes for the PreReq course list because they do not count those? They mention on their recommendation page, "If advanced placement credits in recommended courses are submitted, additional upper level science coursework will be valued." However, I am unsure if I should still list an AP class as it fulfilled one of the recommendations and without it that section will probably be blank :/
What kind of updates do you think might be enough to push an applicant from a hold to an interview? I'm about to be published, and I updated them with that recently. I'm wondering if anyone has any other advice or ideas? Thank you 🙂

On their website it says:
"Applicants may send a total of three updates through our application system. Go to our website for applicants at https://apply.med.drexel.edu and enter your login credentials. Select the "Status" tab and then the "Document Upload/Status" option on the left. You may upload one of each of the following items: transcripts, resume/CV and an update letter. Once these items are uploaded, they may not be updated. The file should be a PDF and under 8MB in size."
So it sounds like you may not be able to add an additional update letter, though if you achieve something that you can add to your CV you could update them that way.
Hoping for some good luck this Friday the 13th
