This is somewhat random, but looks like last year there was a pretty big II wave at the end of January, a ton of II throughout february, and even some in march! Drexel has a long cycle ahead for those still waiting 🙂 QUOTE]

can someone explain how the admissions decision works for people who were accepted? Drexel says it's a good faith policy. What does that mean, and what is it for? If I pay the deposit and say yes i want to hold my acceptance, its not binding right? how does plan to enrol work when it opens? I'm actually so confused.
 
I am OOS and interviewed 11/4 and haven't heard anything...planning to schedule send an email for this coming Tuesday at the 10 week mark, but is it safe to assume I more likely than not did not get an A?

They say they have a timeline but they really don't. I also interviewed 11/4 and heard back with a deferral in early December. Some people last year took 16 weeks to get their decisions so it seems entirely random honestly when you're going to get a decision.
 
No one actually knows how this process works. There are schools I submitted my secondary to in July that I haven’t heard from while a school I submitted to in September gave me an II after weeks.

Probably post an individual thread for this for discussion, but yeah it appears accurate.
 
Does anyone know if we need to attend both the online new student orientation on July 7th as well as the in-person orientation on August 4th? Trying to organize travel plans

Unless things changed for whatever reason, the online orientation is an online orientation/course that spans more than just one day. I assume July 7th is when it opens. There are deadlines for different things in the orientation.

Yes, you should plan on being in-person for the in-person orientation.

I interviewed in November as well and haven't heard back. They made it seem like they did it systematically but I am starting to doubt it tbh.

Do you all think it is appropriate to ask for a status update 10 weeks later or nah just let it ride.

I interviewed late October and emailed. They just said my application is in a queue. So I feel like there’s no harm in asking haha
 
Would you guys say you received your decision in about 7ish weeks? They said around 7-13 weeks at the interview but 13 weeks seems like a really long time. Hoping for an A here 🤞

My best advice is completely ignore what they told you. I heard back in 4 weeks but there are lots from my interview day who have not heard anything yet. Last year it was normal for some to wait up to 16 weeks, so I wouldn't count on hearing back by a specific day.
 
I received an email stating that I have two weeks to accept the financial aid offer. I’m not 100% sure if I’ll be committing to this school, so I’m unsure what would happen if I accept the loans but later decide not to attend. Any advice?
 
What are the odds this school offers a full ride or hefty scholarship? I have my interview scheduled in 2 days but I honestly wouldn't prefer this school over my current acceptances unless they offer good scholarships

i dont think they're known for giving a ton of money, but they do offer some merit scholarships. hard to say if you'd get a hefty scholarship but if theres any chance you'd attend the school, might as well go to the interview.
