Who was the email sent from? I haven't received any scholarship emails and the financial aid office told me that accepted students should expect to receive the email, but I haven't

It might be in your drexel email if you activated it

it was, thank you!!!

In the group interview is it traditional interview qs?

 

[boltsurfer01]

does drexel only have a financial aid package for direct unsubsidized? since the direct unsubsidized doesn't cover the entire tuition im guessing we would take a PLUS loan for that extra 1% interest to cover the rest but its not in the financial aid package so idk if we just have to apply for it separately through studentaid.gov

Hi just curious if anyone can give insight to whether or not students get to choose between Tower health Reading campus and the Philly campus and when students pick?

Once you’re accepted a tab opens that lets you pick your preference.

Has anyone gotten the A from being deferred? I know multiple people have asked but I figured I’d try and keep the convo going so people don’t have to scroll back pages and pages 😅

If they gave us our financial/merit aid faster, you could have my seat by tomorrow

 

[makemeadoc]

Has anyone gotten an II after being pre-II deferred? Just want to know if it was a soft R

Pre-II R. Complete July lol

II received today

I'm writing an email to the admissions office in regards to my deferred status, and I ended the draft with this line - "Anyways, I quite enjoyed my time at Drexel during my undergraduate degree (Class of 2022) and would appreciate a chance to take the next step in my education there as well."

Could this be viewed as a letter of interest type beat because that's not what I want it to come off as. Also open to any possible rewording that could fix the ambiguity.

Watcha want it to come off as? I attached a letter of intent/update and another rec letter to my portal a couple months ago. Is that kinda vibe you wanna go with like you’ll attend if you get the A?

 

[yowifi666]

II received today, OOS. Would someone have an idea on if this would be interviewing for the waitlist spots at this time?

 

[heydoctor]

Wait why don't you want it to come across as a LOI? You don't want that A? haha

 

[adg30]

So I already sent a LOI to another school a month ago, which as I understand it means I can't send any others

 

[adg30]

If at any pt that school rejects me, I'd absolutely send drex an LOI, but that's not rly an option atm

 

[adg30]

Trust me, I very much want that A

I appreciate you holding to what a LOI actually means. Thank you!

 

[109876ers]

Any early January interviewees hear back yet?

 

[Dearly]

I was wondering if Drexel sends rejections after interviews? Been browsing the forums but I haven't seen many people mention they were rejected after an interview, if anything only placed on the waitlist.

I saw a couple. I don’t think I have ever seen a R after a defer, they usually go straight to the R. From what I have seen defer means A or waitlist

I got Marvin’s room queued up. Ready to be hurt again 👍🏾👍🏾.

I had a good score but it expires after this cycle, I hate that they're only valid for 3 years 🙁

Same here… really hope we get in, but it looks like they are sending decisions on Tuesdays more often than Fridays now

 

[AvgJoeSchmo]

Has anyone heard back from early January interviews? Crazy how backed up they are.
