Unless it's changed this year, I was WL last year with no background check.

"You have received this email because you have been waitlisted or conditionally accepted by one or more of the medical schools participating in the AAMC-facilitated program for performing criminal background checks on conditionally accepted applicants and waiting list applicants."

I do hope it is an A in your case 🙂 Good Luck!

That's new to me, 4 WL, and I've never seen it. Interesting.

I interviewed back in early October and was deferred. I haven't received any phone call, email, portal update, and my AMCAS application hasn't updated to include the "Choose my School" tool either which is why I'm super confused lol

the CYMS tool won’t appear until Feb 19

 

[akapur2000]

Has anyone seen Drexel waitlist rn??? I have not? So I assume it’s an A???

 

[barrelgrubber321]

have the post-II answer timelines been pretty close to what they mentioned during the interview day? 7,8,9 weeks?

 

[akapur2000]

[Bothrops]

I have an interview tomorrow at 8:30 and have no zoom information/links in my interview tab on the applicant portal. Is this normal? lol

 

[art205]

Yes I interviewed 11/28, they said it would be 2 months and I got A on 1/18, so about 7 weeks!

 

[KenyanArizona]

Just got put on hold pre-II this morning, after being complete in mid August and attending the virtual open house. Is this a soft R?

 

[gasstationsushi]

Did anyone else also receive a background check consent before hearing back if they have been waitlisted or accepted this morning?

I got an email requesting that I complete a background check and have been accepted to Drexel! I can only assume it was from them and not from the school I'm waitlisted at. Hope it means good news for you!

 

[TurtleTime05]

Is a deferral at this school basically an R? I heard they were deferring more applicants than normal this year but didn't know what to think lol (interviewed 10/5 and deferred 11/18)

This is from AAMC, no? It's sent to people who were waitlisted or accepted to a USMD that you apply to via AMCAS, if not mistaken.

I don’t think so from last year thread people were moving from the defer list to A and those who didn’t here back were moved to a waitlist. I’m guessing some people from the defer list might be hearing back soon.

 

[breadbubble]

Has anyone looked at previous years and know when they stop ending iis typically? I've been complete late July and silence...thinking its a silent r? love this school but understand the many great applicants!

 

[bobogogo]

II just now! OOS, ORM, complete early July, was not previously on hold.

 

[HopefulDoctor11]

II an hour ago! OOS, ORM, complete Late July, not previously on hold. LM 71

 

[collegestudent29]

II today as well! Not previously on hold. So excited!

 

[lostlollipop]

II today as well! Not previously on hold. So excited!

Congrats! 🙂) Did you send update letters before II?

 

[TiramisuLover99]

I was put on hold on 12/15 and submitted 2 updates since then, each of them with a new publication from my lab for which I am a co-author. Do you think that authoring 2 publications in peer-reviewed journals would be sufficient for them to consider giving me an interview?

they’re not really a research school but two pubs is still a huge accomplishment so it might! there’s no way of knowing though.

No I did not

 

[lostlollipop]

No I did not

Thank you 🙂 good luck on your interview!!

 

[FinanceGal]

Does anyone know if we are allowed to send updates if we were placed on hold?

 

[mistybay]

Anyone know if Drexel does second looks or if there is an accepted FB or group chat?

if i remember correctly, i think last year the second look was in april and the admissions office creates an accepted FB group sometime in february i believe?

 

[HopefulDoctor11]

Are any current students open to answering questions about the school, curriculum, research, etc? Thanks a bunch!

 

[gasstationsushi]

I completed my FAFSA recently and got an email from Drexel with instructions for what I need to do to finalize my financial aid package. The email says to complete the requirements within two weeks, but the process to do so involves setting up a bunch of Drexel accounts that seem very official (school email, etc.) despite the fact that I haven't committed. Anyone know if I should do this now or hold off?

 

[mistybay]

i am! feel free to dm me 🙂
