Congrats! Would you mind sharing when did you interview?
No MMI. A few pages ago someone had a very clear breakdown of interview day

Not yet! I think it’s interviewer dependent. Maybe your interviewer wasn’t there last week. If they discussed you but weren’t ready to give you A, I think you would get a deferral.

Any deferred acceptances yet?
hey when do we get our campus decisions? I really want to start looking for housing ASAP since i am kinda far away
Just guessing, but last year students heard about campus assignments in mid-March. So hopefully within the next few weeks, we'll find out our campus assignments.
Not sure what I can update them with.
I interviewed in mid-September, was deferred in late October, and was accepted in early February. I have since withdrawn my acceptance because I was accepted to another school which is a better fit for me. I actually withdrew my application using the tab in the portal after the deferred decision, but I guess that they did not get the message. I'm wishing you the best!

Thanks for letting me know. I interviewed mid November and was deferred a couple weeks ago so hopefully they will start reconsidering deferred applicants soon. My anxiety can't take this lol

"Applicants must pay the deposit fee prior to being given a campus assignment. Campus assignments will be shared via the applicant portal after March 30. Applicants admitted after March 30 will receive their campus assignment on a rolling basis.".

I wish it was earlier cause im in the same boat about housing. It sucks tho cause for the philly campus we are competing against undergrad, upenn undergrad and grad, and all the other drexel grad for housing.
lmao dreading the waitlist as someone who interviewed in september and was deferred in october. insane that they'd interview me so early just to give me absolutely nothing afterwards.
still an inkling of hope in my heart that they just haven't gone through all the deferred applicants yet but damn. would appreciate literally any transparency at all in this process.

Don’t even stress brother I got Marvin’s room
On replay for us 🫶🫶
turn the volume up to maximum. let's drown out the pain
After all these years I never heard Marvin's room. I was just rocking "the language"
silence since first week of july here. I think they lost my app tbh
I think they’re not looking at my app because they found out that I ate a cheesesteak at Wawa instead of coming up to Philly and getting one from Geno’s 😅

When did you interview? I believe they meet weekly, and results have been coming out weekly. Mostly on Tuesdays in the past few weeks.
I was referencing akapur2000's screenshot that said they review deferred applicants "monthly" but I interviewed in early October and was deferred a few weeks after. Better if they're meeting weekly though!

Has anyone gone down the rabbithole of drexel reddit- keep hearing bad things about administration and that rotations aren't that great anymore after losing the main hospital. No admitted there yet but worried about all the things I'm hearing. Wondering if a current student can talk about some of these things

I have also heard the same things and have been quite concerned especially about the quality of rotations when taking into account the list of residents at most of the clinical sites. Look it up… pretty concerning
Not only that how will LOR work for your clerkship years if they’re not drexel faculty??
Obviously still very interested in Drexel just a bit concerned.

My interview experience was also egotistical and snarky. She didnt look at the screen half the time and laughed at some of my responses.
II just now!! Complete on 7/9. Drexel has forgiven me for not eating at Geno’s

Congrats! did you send an update?
Thank you!! I really appreciate it.

Last 2 cycles it looks like every single SDN reported WL -> A was from someone who interviewed late in the cycle (post New Years). There is not a single report of a person that interviewed pre-New Year that got in from defer -> WL. Which makes sense, as they had plenty of time to review your app and decided not to give you an A over and over again/
Seems like pretty terrible, close to zero odds of making it from early defer -> A if you didn't get picked during the single defer -> A wave in Jan/Feb. As a September interviewee, I think it's over for me.

Yeah mine was 2/1 so probably in 3 or so weeks since it looks like they're in early Jan
Yeah I've heard it too but they still consistently match well but would love to hear a current student's perspective. Internet rumblings might not truly represent their experience.
LOR doesn't only need to be from faculty I'm sure if you have a doc (attending/resident) that you connected with they can still write you a LOR. Considering their consistent match though I'm sure students are still making it work.
