Hey does anybody know how to decommit?

Members don't see this ad.
 
Hello, has anyone that has accepted their admission and completed the enrollment fee received any correspondence after? Thank you.

Yes, there was an additional letter. In that there is a graduate program brochure that has a checklist of all the things you need to do. Picking up your Drexel email/net id account, accepting the health insurance etc.

Can I ask why you’re decommitting?
I had lost faith in my med school cycle, but I ended up getting an acceptance. I’d love to be in Philly, but mentors all suggested it’s better to take the acceptance n start. Also that’s an extra year of tuition.

smart move especially with the potential law changes eliminating Grad PLUS loans

Congrats on getting accepted. The whole point of this program is to get into med school. So if you already got in, then it wouldn’t make sense to do this program.
 
i really hope we do and that it's not towards the end of the week 😓 time's been moving SO SLOW it feels

Congratulations on your acceptance and God Bless.
 
Does anyone know if you have to resubmit AMCAS while in the program? I heard you have to do early action for Drexel but I'm not sure.

Yes we do. They said we should select Early Assurance but when I went to add Drexel it said that the school has to allow me to apply for early assurance. So I marked it as reg decision for now and I’m waiting until there’s more clarity to submit. Ngl I feel like the should give us a waiver tho.
 
Congrats to those who were accepted! For those who are still waiting, I wish you the best of luck. To those who did not receive an A, do not give up! Apply next year on time and to other schools.

Regarding acceptance, what does it mean to apply to an “Early Assurance Program”? Do I have to apply to Drexel via AMCAS and submit a personal statement and application?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
 
anyone else got waitlisted?
and if anyone knows how long it would take to hear back?
I was also waitlisted. I've seen on other threads that there tends to be decent movement in June. I've also seen some people getting accepted just a few days before orientation on older threads. I hope we both get the A, good luck!

when do we have to submit this?
 
My friend who did this program this past year unfortunately had to appeal and didn’t make it. they found out a couple of days ago. it was because of the GPA cutoff. They don’t know who else was successful in their appeals. but they were really happy to do such a program and they learned a lot from the past year. They said that admin is very helpful in finding out your other options if you happen to not make contract. They said to take this year seriously and to study as hard as you can. I can’t imagine how hard this program must be so I wish you guys all the best in this journey. You guys will all become Drs!

Do you know how many people had to appeal and how many had to drop?
 
did anyone receive any other information regarding schedules, housing, move in, etc? all i see is the option to enroll and then additional information on the grad student brochure for now

Anyone concerned that they just found out that their appeal didn't go through?
