A yesterday! Interviewed April 1st. Appreciate everyone’s contributions to this thread. Helped with the stress
 
Congrats to everyone hearing back!! :’) Around what time are you guys receiving emails? Wondering because I’m waiting for my initial decision from a March interview.
 
Is anyone here a current M2/3/4 at WR campus that commutes? Am looking advice commute + suggestions for areas to live, particularly in KOP/Conshohocken/anywhere on the 422. I must commute due to extenuating circumstances so on campus housing is not an option. Please DM me. Thank you.

Answering here - yes, people commute to the WR campus. Severe traffic only really exists between KOP and Philly, there's this ridiculous lane merge that plugs up traffic so bad and 76 is only two lanes lol. Your commute from KOP to WR will pretty much never have traffic. It's about 45-50 minutes to drive. Some people are from the Philly area and commute to WR, some choose to live in KOP/Sanatoga and along 422.

In a different direction, people also commute from other places in PA like Lancaster, Harrisburg, Hershey, etc.

With reverse style classes it's completely manageable if not uncomfortable to commute that much for the first two years and fourth year since we can create our rotation schedule for fourth year. People do commute that far for third year but it is definitely harder because of start times (notorious 5am surgery rotations).

Thanks - messaged you privately. If you are able to answer my questions. Thank you!
 
Has anyone looked into private loans or just going through fafsa? Tryna figure this stuff all out but its a lot 😭 idek who to ask
 
+1 WL after being deferred in the fall- did all deferrals get moved to the waitlist? Or did anyone get an acceptance or rejection?
 
MSAR says waitlist is approx 300 people, how accurate is this? If all deferred applicants got moved today then wouldn't it be double or triple that? (going off that they interview ~1300 people)

yeah I'm not sure if all deferred applicants got waitlisted today, I looked at last years thread and it seems they sent out 2 big WL waves in June then rolling acceptances until pretty late in the cycle
 
also wl today after deferral 5/9 and mid-march interview://
in general, what percent of applicants get off the wl here? (especially considering a lot of applicants end up dropping out of the wl as well i assume)
 
OOS December interview - deferred late Feb - WL today

Is it possible to send too many communications? I want to send something after the recent waitlist, but have already sent two updates letters and a letter of intent over the course of March - May
 
Anybody know how to get the PIN number on GroupMe for Drexel? I’m having a tough time connecting with the admissions office for it. I’m interested in getting an apartment or a house with admitted fellow students
