Shout-out to that person that said they were freaking out...I am too

 

[paul30]

Why'd that session stress me out even more lmfao

 

[Delawarean]

Anyone got a recap of the session? I couldn't make it sadly.

 

[Julatteluver]

How do y’all even know about info sessions happening. I had no clue

They are sending out emails with this information in waves.

ahhh makes sense. I am assuming emails are still getting sent out since I know nothing still

Brian, the person leading the session, essentially said they would have sent all the open house invites simultaneously but the system has trouble sending out 16,000 emails at once, understandably. Sounds like they're spread out with no rhyme or reason as a result.

I used to think I was neurotic

Until I saw how people reacted to an open house email

 

[wwggad]

Hey sorry I was running the threads again. Did you submit on 7/21 and got completed a few days later?

oops I looked at the wrong cell in excel- I submitted 7/18 and got a completed email the same day

 

[HemeOncology]

I haven’t gotten any open house email yet. Completed 7/21. Anyone else in the same boat?

 

[KingJaswal]

Completed 07/21 and got the open house email this morning

 

[cake67]

Did anyone else start to really like this school after the open house on Tuesday? Brian was super down to earth and kind!

It revealed more than I knew previously about their service-based philosophy! Their mission statement and secondary didn't convey that as clearly as Temple's did, for example. Now wishing I wrote a Why Drexel essay instead of a COVID essay for the optional question!

Sorry to hear that. Mind sharing when you were complete? Also, you have great stats and I'm sure you'll have a successful cycle!

Thanks, I'm not super stressed right now as things are pretty early. I submitted my secondary a bit later 08/03 complete

Do they send an email saying the stays? Or you have to keep checking the portal?

 

[DPTtoMD23]

Yes, there was an explicit email stating my application is on hold

 

[Needstogetlifetogether]

just got that famous "open house email" that ends with "This email DOES NOT indicate a change in application status."

 

[FarmHand]

On hold today, LM 70 complete 7/5

 

[flyon_littlewing9587]

Was just placed on hold. Is a hold at Drexel a soft R?

 

[HemeOncology]

does Drexel not review completed apps in order? It feels they’re sending out holds randomly in different completed order

 

[STEMblonde]

Is there a difference between "Hold" and "Hold for re-review"?

 

[jademoon]

Last year they started sending out interview invites on the 16th of August. For people that went to open house (or anyone else who has thoughts), do ya'll think they're on the same schedule this year and will start sending out invites tomorrow ??

Although I do not have answers to your question since I still didn't receive their open house email (lol), I do hope that they start sending out IIs instead of the scary holds!!

dead 💀 100% with you on that

 

[walnutfloor]

for those who have gone to the open house, how long was it?

 

[DrPlatypus]

For those placed on hold, did you receive an email notification?

 

[KoolGirlKaye123]

Hmm, quick thing. For the second question would mentioning having a daughter and the struggles I have had with maintaining a full time job, taking care of daughter, and maintaining volunteer stuff count as a challenge that have impacted my experiences (she is less than a year old so I actually took a month off to help partner care for her in the first month).

Heck yes! I commend you for juggling those responsibilities and wish you all the best this cycle.

 

[szeth]

For those placed on hold, did you receive an email notification?

Yep

 

[lachicamexicana]

Yep

What did the email say? Just curious

less juggling and more like struggling XD. But seriously thanks.

 

[premeducated]

does drexel ever reject/ghost without putting people on hold?

Last cycle, I was complete end of August and didn't hear anything until mid-March when I got an interview invite, so not technically ghosting but a long wait!

 

[MrWafflers]

Has anyone here got an Interview invite with a first quartile casper?

 

[taguylla2]

Where do you guys see a hold on your application? Did they send an email?

It's not required so you should be fine

 

[deleted1126729]

I submitted four LORs from individuals, has anyone submitted extra letters? At what point should I do that?
