HOLD email yesterday

when did you interview if you don't mind me asking?

 

[MichealScottDerekShep]

Is there a pattern in how often Drexel sends out A's?

 

[krippy]

I interviewed 11/4 and still have not heard. This is really aggravating me

If it makes you feel better, I interviewed in September and still haven't heard. Not sure why

I would definitely send an email to admissions. That’s way too long😭

Any idea what the financial aid timeline is for this school? Are they rolling out scholarships in April? Anyone know if they have any good merit aid?

if ur interviewing in march don’t expect a decision till like may/june according to previous threads and financial aid stuff happens after soooo…

they’re rlly rlly unorganized in general too

 

[youngdumbandbroke]

Any idea what the financial aid timeline is for this school? Are they rolling out scholarships in April? Anyone know if they have any good merit aid?

I emailed the financial aid office about this and got this response:

"Drexel's College of Medicine (DUCOM) does have its own assortment of scholarships that it awards to its students. A separate scholarship application will be sent out to confirmed students who have filed their FAFSAs later in the Spring or early Summer. Please be advised that submitting the application does not guarantee scholarships, but please keep an eye on your Drexel email for updates in the coming months."

So very vague lol fwiw I have been told that Drexel gives out less scholarships (by # and size) than many other schools

 

[magic_fish12]

Anyone else been deferred since nov? (Post ii)

 

[ribonucleoprotein]

Anyone else been deferred since nov? (Post ii)

at least you’ve heard back

 

[dorawinifredread]

can deferred applicants email about their status? or just wait 😆

 

[ClashRoyaleKing]

I wouldn’t email about your status. Consider the deferral as kind of a waitlist and wait it out. This school has good movement!

 

[bigcobra218]

Has anyone heard back from interviews around 12/13?

 

[kiwisun]

Has anyone heard back from interviews around 12/13?

Nope

 

[PersianCattt]

The delay in hearing back after interviews is a bit unsettling!

It’s scary. I need to decide whether or not I’m gonna reapply :/

Prepare now for reapplication if you don’t have an A. The longer you wait the worse!

 

[chewsta]

What is the policy of Drexel on the CYMS tool? Do we have to select Plan To Enroll before April 30?

Yes, PTE would be required before/on April 30th. And you can only hold one acceptance at that point.

That's what I'm doing. I don't even have a II yet so I'm working on a re-apply list and plans for next year to strengthen my app.

Hopefully you get something soon! If not, I believe that this next cycle will be better for you. We all got this🤞

Gosh, I hope so. I know some of the schools I've applied to have pushed their II season into March/April due to the number of applicants this year. We can do this. 💪

[AlliesStardust]

VCU and Geisel that I know of.

 

[krippy]

Does anyone know if it's possible that Drexel just forgot to review my application? I can't think of a reason for why I wouldn't hear back if I interviewed in September and they won't give me a reason. Feel like there are fewer spots for acceptance now too...

have u emailed them?

 

[ksu64]

OOS II today! sent two updates and the latter one was 5 days ago!

 

[greymolerat]

I’m in the same boat. Interviewed in October and haven’t heard back still

 

[krippy]

have u emailed them?

Emailed, called, etc. They just said I haven't done anything wrong and no decision has been made on my file yet. They also told us in the interview that we'd prob hear back in december

They notoriously have the most disorganized adcom ever. They do not review in order and will not give any info if you email, and sometimes will not even ever email you back (they took 6 weeks to email me back LOL). Important to note though that them taking a long time to decide on you is not necessarily a bad thing, obviously 5 months is excessive but they gave me my deferral in 4 weeks and last year were giving people acceptances past 16 weeks of waiting. Really nothing else to it except keep waiting, Drexel is known for this unfortunately.

 

[mochilover12]

i have an interview with drexel in mid-march, but, based on the general consensus in this thread, it seems like i likely won't hear back from them until may or even june.. in that case and if i were to reapply, do i submit a reapplication to drexel?

Reapply to any school you'd be happy going to!

 

[mochilover12]

hihi yes i plan to do that! but i meant specifically in terms of drexel LOL like do i begin a reapplication to drexel if i'm still waiting to hear back from them in the current application cycle?

I doubt it would take them until June to respond post-interview. If you get waitlisted, then yes.

it did last year

 

[bigcobra218]

OOS A, interviewed 12/13

 

[ButterflySparky]

VCU and Geisel that I know of.

Geisel's website says interviews end March 13, is this the most updated date?
