Yay!!! Congratulations everyone!!! Can't wait to meet you all in just a few weeks!!!
WJust curious, for those who were accepted, whats the first letter of your last name from A-Z? 😮💨
nope, only found out through the portalDid anyone get an official email?
No portal. Assuming the email will come in the next day or so….Did anyone get an official email?
Don’t forget there are two waves of acceptances usually. No rhyme or reason to which batch you go in… (that we know of)I dont see anything on my portal other than my date of interview. is it safe to assume its a R lol?

no :/Assuming no one else heard or seen anything yet?
Same, it’s rough 🙁no :/
OOS, CAFor the people who got accepted, were you OOS or in state?
Neighboring states but were separated by an ocean lol, I’m in HawaiiOOS, CA
I would assume next week or the latest the 14th. I think after the 14th would just be cruel.When do you guys think the second round will come out?
I hope so too. I hope it is by next week lol, the waiting is getting to meI wonder if the first round is officially over? In past threads I think people have gotten their acceptances via email before seeing it on the portal. Maybe they are still working on the first round as well and some people happened to see it before they've all been sent out? Who knows! But I do hope that if the first round has ended, the second comes around soon!
Yeah, tbh I should be mentally be ready to move on too lol and go ahead and submit my primaryI also think 6/7 or 6/14 will be the second round. But it still might be possible to receive a offer after the 14th if you get put on the WL
Yes, you do. It just means getting into the program doesn't automatically mean you're in their medical school but there's the eligibility clause behind it.Just a quick question-on the Drexel contract form, it says "my acceptance into the program does not guarantee my acceptance into the medical school" but I thought we had a seat for the following year if we met all the requirements?
Don’t make a gc yet. There will be a FB one made initially and then a groupme made shortly after! in due time 🙂I was thinking of creating a GC but I think TAs eventually will once all acceptance go out. Also not everyone is big on facebook (I rarely check mine lol). So just in case I think we should make something outside of that platform as well.
IF you meet the requirements. Since this isn’t guaranteed, your seat isn’t guaranteed quite yet. Once you meet all requirements, you will receive the official acceptance. In dpms, it’s considered a conditional acceptance.Just a quick question-on the Drexel contract form, it says "my acceptance into the program does not guarantee my acceptance into the medical school" but I thought we had a seat for the following year if we met all the requirements?
Ok!! Thank you!Don’t make a gc yet. There will be a FB one made initially and then a groupme made shortly after! in due time 🙂
Hey!! I will be one your TA's for this year! Congrats to everyone so far who have gotten acceptances, and for those that are still waiting don't lose hope until you receive an actual rejection. If you guys saw last years thread then you know I WAS STRESSEDDDD but the best thing you can do right now is take time for yourself and relax (trust me I know it's easier said then done).I got accepted into the program yesterday and I'm looking forward to attending. Interviewed April 15th.
Is there a Facebook group yet for Drexel DPMS 2024-2025? What's the apartments situation like in Philly are the good spots near the Health Sciences Building? My understanding is all the labs/workshops will take place there. Anybody looking for rommates throughout this program? Also looking for study groups/friends. Feel free to PM me
We do not! They are still processing DPMS people and should complete it this next week. They will give the stats of previous classes to you all during orientation.Do we know how many students met contract this year and will be matriculating?
Thank you! I am a bit nervous about not meeting the metricsWe do not! They are still processing DPMS people and should complete it this next week. They will give the stats of previous classes to you all during orientation.
Kind of my same thoughts more so with the mcat than with the gpa. I think we wouldn’t have been accepted if the committee thought we wouldn’t be able to do it. I’ve asked a lot of people from past cycles about this, they all reassured me that meeting the metrics is challenging but very doable. I think also utilizing the resources within the program is key as well as having a community that will hold you accountable. I’m looking forward to both.Thank you! I am a bit nervous about not meeting the metrics

Me!Did anyone get accepted yet that doesn’t have to take the MCAT? I’m just curious. I myself will have to retake the MCAT.
This right here!!! Your TAs (like me!) will make sure you are well equipped to handle DPMS, I promise! You've got a massive academic support system behind you all, truly like nothing I've ever seen. Hold yourself accountable, and more importantly, hold your friends accountable. LOL if I could, I would show the texts between me and my study group where we are yelling at each other for not checking in and/or just disappearing for like a week. This whole program is a fantastic stepping stone into what it will be like to be a medical student and study like a medical student. You won't be able to do it alone, period.meeting the metrics is challenging but very doable. I think also utilizing the resources within the program is key as well as having a community that will hold you accountable.
Just one 30 min interview with a faculty member.To anybody who interviewed for DPMS, was your interview like the medical school's interview (ie a 1-on-1 with a faculty member and a separate interview with students) or was it just with the faculty member? I'm interviewing with the IMS program and I'm wondering if it's the same for both.
Not yet. The wait is brutalHas anyone heard back yet?
Alum here. Living in the dorms was okayyy lol. every situation has its problems.. it’s not ideal but it will do for the summer while you figure out housing. Also, it puts you close to HSB for classes and you can meet your classmates while in a close proximity for a few weeks.Can a TA or alum fill us in on how living in the dorms and parking works? I will more than be bringing my car.
Thank you! What is the name of the dorms? And do you know if it’s possible to just purchase parking for the 6 week mini semester?Alum here.

For parking, there are parking permits you can purchase online. Certain lots are closer than others. I also know some people that didn’t drive to class everyday even though they had a car or others that drove and paid for street parking because it was cheaper. We are not on campus everyday since it’s flip classroom style. Gotta do what works for you because parking is about 600+ a semester.
