2022-2023 Drexel

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Does Drexel accept LOI before you’ve gotten your admission decision?
 
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.
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.
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 🤐
 
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 🙁

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

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.
 
Has anyone been able to switch campus assignments? I really would like to be on the Philly campus.
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.
