2023-2024 Drexel

[LancesDragonite]

Anybody know about housing near the med school? What are the options and pricing and general areas nearby?

If you get placed at the Philly campus: many students live in University City (where HSB is) or in Center City. Feel free to DM if you want more info - I'm an M1 at DUCOM's Philly campus

Is Drexel still sending invites?

Is Drexel still sending invites?

I hope so! they sent me a hold for interview email last week, and they could've easily sent a rejection if they knew that they were done with interviews

What are the odds that those of us who interviewed on Dec 13th are gonna hear soon?😭

Depends what you consider soon. I interviewed 12/11 and am not planning on hearing until Mid February at the earliest

Do you think it's worth sending a letter of interest before decision? The amount of deferrals I'm seeing is worrying me.

I think letters of interest are more saved for pre II or post II WL. It’s up to you though. TBH I don’t think whether you send a letter of interest will change your initial post II decision so I’d wait to use it in case you do get deferred. Just my opinion, what do I know lol.

are people getting interviews without getting holds still? or if we don't get a hold is it basically over 🙁

I got an interview here without a hold

 

[meddiemedmed]

will we for sure hear something back from them (A, WL, or R) in the 8-10 weeks or is it only for As and WLs? 🫠

 

[med4540]

OOS II this morning. Complete mid July. I was never on hold. LM 71

 

[arches_07]

[Bropro]

Just want to say that I did not get the infamous interviewer for my interview last week. My faculty interviewer was the sweetest person and it was super conversational!

 

[sjtgod]

Does anyone know what deferral movement looks like/has anyone who's been deferred gotten a decision yet?

What does this mean

 

[biotechguru]

Is there an accepted students page/groupme?

 

[garnmonster]

What does this mean

this person waited 14 weeks after their interview (in october) to receive their admissions decision, which was a deferral

But i mean…is this like a waitlist or them saying basically to keep waiting for a decision? I’ve never seen this before

I am also wondering this!! Is getting an A after being deferred common?

 

[madamemichaelscott]

anyone know if anything other than fafsa is needed for this school (e.g., CSS profile, completion of institutional review forms, uploading of tax docs, etc.)?

 

[gingerbear]

does anyone know if they've ever given out ii's after being on hold?

My casper was mid, 2nd quartile nearing a psychopath. I don't think casper was that important.
