sorry to hear that - but it's not over until it's over! Did you receive an email or checked your portal?

I received an email, but the portal is also updated to show the status

 

[SightlyNickel]

This can't be your only school you applied to right. One of my friends got only one interview and one A. All you need is that one school. Who cares if its drexel

Yeah true I applied to 50 lol. Just that this one is IS for me so not too far.

Yeah nah bro you're chilling. No way you don't get at least one A with 50 schools.

 

[medlover7]

Any OOS hear anything after being complete?

 

[SightlyNickel]

True Drexel is more of a service oriented school anyways, whereas my app is more research focused. Better luck on the next one. Good luck this cycle!

 

[ApplicantWishMeLuck]

Any OOS hear anything after being complete?

I am an OOS applicant, complete on 7/24. I have not heard anything yet.

 

[lefthandup]

Just submitted my secondary. Should I upload my resume? Seems like a waste of their time because there is nothing on my resume that isn't covered in greater detail on my primary.

 

[onthelongroad123]

Your ability inspires me. I check my portal about 2 times a day, even knowing they have not received my Casper yet.

For secondaries - anyone know if I can reset the academic history page? Of course, I didn't read directions and added high school/uni information. Then I realized they only need the info for "new" academics since my initial application was submitted. I don't want them to think I never read instructions, I just read them too late...

if you have submitted....just wait now.
A rushed submission is not always your best, and on future ones save your work, think overnight, and go back to read the instructions once more before sending it in

 

[ghrund102]

IS. LM 71. Got a hold after submitting on 8/28. Just goes to show they do NOT review these in order

Does anyone know for prompt #2, if we need to mention all elements? Like how our experiences allowed us to meet each of them?

Also, to meet "diversity", is it more like a "diversity essay" that I need to explain how I could contribute to the diversity of the class? Or is it referring to how I can show that I'm capable to interacting people with diverse background?

Thanks !!

I don't think they expect us to explain how we meet all of the criteria. It's just too hard in 1500 characters. So I just picked two that I focused most of my energy on and then sprinkled in a sentence about two more elements. For the diversity aspect, I would say it's up to your interpretation because their mission involves a "culture of diversity" so it can go both ways.

Congrats!!! 08/23 or 07/23? It seems like most others were around late July / early August

 

[MethotrexateLover]

Anyone interviewing tomorrow? Whats the format like with the faculty or student interview?

 

[AnonymousDoctorGuyPerson]

Hey all, I know the first day of interviews is tomorrow so just wanted to congratulate you all! Relax and try to enjoy it, all the interviewers want is to get to know who you are off the paper so just bring your authentic self.

And remember, this is just the beginning of the interview season - I have plenty of classmates who didn't interview here until March or even April.

 

[hamooditired]

does anyone know if the classes here are pass/fail? (during ms1 and ms2)

 

[reptilian]

does anyone know if the classes here are pass/fail? (during ms1 and ms2)

congratulations!! Do you know if they go in order?

 

[cookie_munster]

congratulations!! Do you know if they go in order?

thank you! honestly have no clue. I sent in most of my secondaries in mid/late august. I don't really think they go in order tbh since they can screen however they want

 

[Dangerouslypink]

For those who are re-applicants, did admissions wait until the absolute last minute to send out R's or did they tell you within a reasonable timeframe?
