Members don't see this ad.

At this point, it's pretty ridiculous (and inconsiderate) that a lot of us are still waiting on post interview decisions. Probably going to withdrawl my application soon as I am planning on attending another school regardless of Drexels decision.

how many weeks are you at?

 

[SnowKones]

Where would we see our campus assignment when it's been assigned? Also do we get an email too?

 

[SnowKones]

A new tab shows up under Admissions Decision, named X Campus Assignment, X being Philadelphia or West Reading. You get an email saying you've been assigned a campus.

Thank you!

Does Drexel accept LOI before you’ve gotten your admission decision?

 

[futuredoc132]

Does Drexel accept LOI before you’ve gotten your admission decision?

Yes

 

[Premed-person2515]

Yes

Do you know where we would upload it?

 

[AFilmDoctor]

Do you know where we would upload it?

I called about an LOI a little while ago. They said you can either email it to their main admissions email or you can upload on the portal under the Document Upload tab

What day of the week does Drexel typically release their decisions?

What day of the week does Drexel typically release their decisions?

Recently it’s looked like Mondays and Wednesdays are when they’re being released.

 

[futuredoc132]

Anyone from 2/13 hear back today?

Recently it’s looked like Mondays and Wednesdays are when they’re being released.

Mine was on a Tuesday last week. Also, it went to my spam so I would check there too. Definitely was anti-climactic to wait 10.5 weeks just to see a defer had been sitting in my spam for 13 minutes

Don't know if anyone in the same situation but I've had 3 waitlists so far, and Drexel is my fourth and final pending interview. Makes the tension rise lol.

I'm in the exact same position... hopefully one of them will turn into an A for us.

 

[akapur2000]

Keep pushing deferred peeps. On three WLs and been studying for a June 3rd mcat retake since Feb 1st. We will be ok just keep persevering and focus on what you can control!

 

[Scume]

How long after your acceptance do you get a campus assignment?

You're not alone homie. Started studying for the mcat recently to prepare for the worst and sh** sucks 🙁

Did anyone hear back today? Anxiously checking this thread every few hours 🤐

When did you interview?

 

[a522759693]

Honestly don’t know why they haven’t picked up pace. They haven’t been interviewing for a few weeks and it’s till one batch of decision per week

Also no info on WL yet, still painfully deferred 🙁

 

[Dearly]

At this point in time, if we are deferred, do we just assume we are now on the waitlist and won't hear back news until either we are accepted or the cycle is over?

 

[chpiib]

Wondering if anyone knows this.

Just got a pre-II R today (I had a hold)

 

[himikie]

When did you interview?

Interviewed 2/15

 

[jademoon]

I'm assuming that they're sending Pre-II Rs (from holds) in waves right ? Asking because I forgot that I never got rejected from this school, but I'm also assuming that they're not interviewing people anymore this late in the cycle ?

 

[hopefulfuturedoc424]

Interviewed 2/15

+1, maybe this is our week?

 

[al1998]

+1, maybe this is our week?

+1 as well for 2/15, hope so. Fingers crossed for everyone waiting!

 

[TuberculosisGirlboss]

Does anyone have a link to a recording of the virtual accepted students day?

 

[mcqueen1821]

+1 as well for 2/15, hope so. Fingers crossed for everyone waiting!

+1 same here!!!!!! rooting for us!

 

[AFilmDoctor]

Based off of last year’s thread, it seems like those who interviewed in mid February will receive a decision sometime this week

 

[al1998]

Deferred, interviewed 2/15. Oh well lol.

 

[camrossk]

Why don’t they just say waitlist? Like they are not going to review at a later date

 

[SnowKones]

I just got my campus assignment. Check your emails if you're waiting on one!

 

[mcqueen1821]

did anyone else from 2/15 hear back yet?

 

[AFilmDoctor]

Why don’t they just say waitlist? Like they are not going to review at a later date

I think they’re going to officially open their waitlist either on 4/30 or 5/1 once people start to narrow down their school choices to one school

 

[himikie]

Deferred, interviewed 2/15. Oh well lol.

Also deferred, interviewed 2/15. Lets remain hopeful.

 

[SnowKones]

Drexel has a lot of WL movement I've seen. It's really not over

 

[himikie]

Do they not give out rejections for people who interviewed? Wondering if everyone either just accepted or deferred

 

[hopefulfuturedoc424]

did anyone else from 2/15 hear back yet?

Not yet...studying for a final + waiting for a decision has me in SHAMBLES

 

[al1998]

I think someone who interviewed a bit earlier than us got a post interview rejection. Granted that is the only reported here, there are other students who don't use SDN.

I've seen a few people ask this already, so just to put it out there - the answer is pretty much "almost impossible." You have to have a really grounded reason for being at the other location to be granted a campus change, and it's usually on the level that you're the primary caretaker of someone who MUST be in that location.

It sounds like you're unhappy with the WR campus assignment - feel free to ask here or DM me if you have any concerns that I can address in more detail (current student at WR). In general, though, there's the exact same education and comparable extracurriculars at both campuses (and many orgs are required to have reps at both campuses), less admin headache, no moving around come rotation years, a bunch of benefits of having its own hospital, and what time you have for socializing can be done in Philly if you so choose to do so since you're close enough anyways (and many people do). I get that this can be a major turn-off and can even drive decisions if you have other acceptances, but rest assured that there is no loss on the education front for being at WR.
