Pre-II Hold just now. Complete 8/2

 

[superdesperate]

Completed 6/29! OOS with a 510 MCAT and 3.80 GPA

 

[Mintman]

Given the II/hold movement today, any other fellow mid-late Nov interviews think we’ll be hearing back this Friday? 😬

 

[LetsDoThisThrowaway]

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.

 

[meds_99]

Pre-II rejection today after hearing nothing since submitting 8/1. OOS

 

[dideperfect123]

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 😂

Was deferred late October and still haven't heard back 😭

💀. Well based off last years SDN, it does seem like deferrals did not start hearing back till January.

 

[Ksrgd12]

II hold, the wait finally came to an end. Completed early August. Gl yall

 

[dvs1004]

[SpideyMD]

What is the interview day like here? Like what kinds of questions, how many interviewers?

 

[superdesperate]

II complete 10/6

Congrats! Stats?

 

[emsea123]

What is the interview day like here? Like what kinds of questions, how many interviewers?

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.

 

[akapur2000]

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?

 

[Mintman]

Anyone thinks any calls will be made today?

 

[drewmighty]

Anyone thinks any calls will be made today?

I interviewed 12/2. Fingers crossed

 

[akapur2000]

I want Drexel to call me more than I want my gf to call me lol

 

[tripleds]

Looks like it’s gonna be another week

 

[drewmighty]

Looks like it’s gonna be another week

Ya seems that way. Well guess I’ll keep stressing another week.

 

[MDorDOwilltakeit.]

All those deffered earlier, anybody sent a LOI yet?

 

[amazingotter23]

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.

 

[TheHomelander]

II just now, OOS, LM ~72. They had slots available through March on the portal!

 

[driftin]

All those deffered earlier, anybody sent a LOI yet?

Yes, sent one about a week or so after being deferred 11/4/22 - interviewed 9/21/22

 

[akapur2000]

Same, deferred 12/2 tho. Hopefully Jan is a good month for us!

 

[Taiwe]

Just received II! OOS, Complete 07/20

 

[deleted843384]

Current M3 at Drexel here- I'm happy to answer any questions you have about the program.

 

[FutureMDCol]

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

 

[a522759693]

It was around 2pm eastern!

 

[vikik]

pre-II hold yesterday, OOS, complete in July

 

[marvin88]

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 :/

 

[yaya212]

Anyone know if Drexel has a second look day or an accepted students group?

 

[TiramisuLover99]

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 🙂

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
