hey! I'm interviewing on Wednesday and haven't yet received a Zoom or Kira link. Is this normal? When should I expect to receive these links?

got it, thank you so much!! also, not sure if you have any info on the "interview essay," but in my AMP it says it can be accessed 2 days before the interview to 24 hours after the interview. a little concerned since i don't yet see the prompt / anywhere to submit it. when is a fair time to email admissions to request it? should i just wait it out for now?

I don't know about that, and as others have said in this thread they were asked not to share exact questions or details.
Check your email & AMP daily and I'm sure you'll find it

Maybe reach out tomorrow afternoon/give them a call if you don't hear anything today. I interviewed on a Wednesday and got all the info on the Friday beforehand, so they seem to be a little behind.

It's definitely a valid concern so don't feel bad about calling
 
Hi there! I received notification this morning that the Admissions Committee has elected to hold my application for possible interview. Is there any way I can see past data on my likelihood of getting out of purgatory? If anyone has any insider insight, I'd love to hear it.

From what I know, it’s pretty neutral. Not a rejection but not an interview. They’ll revisit you at a later date, and maybe give you an interview if they have spots later on. When did you submit?

Gotcha, yeah that is kind of what I thought. Sort of like "we're just not that into you but maybe." I received notification that my application (primary & secondary) was completed on 7/24.

+1 IS A. At last, I can rest.
Interviewed in late September (9/30)

Hey guys, I am just a bit confused about the status of the interview being open or closed file.
I see that their MSAR says "Drexel will be interviewing virtually using the MMI process and holding group interviews with a student which are closed file."

But then I see past SDN posts saying the faculty portion is open file. Which one is it? If anyone can clarify having interviewed that would be much appreciated!

Drexel used to have 1:1 interviews but this year they have joined the MMI trend. That’s why when you look up the older interview feedback posts you are seeing comments about open file

Hey guys I am interviewing later this week and still have no clue about my kira email to test the technology, or even my interviewday scheduled start time. Is this reason for concern? How soon before the interview do they send it out?

Same, I called the admissions office earlier today but have not heard back yet

Do you know if they get off in April/May or earlier

I think it is later in the cycle (next year) as people to choose medical schools. Either people choose not to go to Drexel, and give their A to someone else on the deferred or you get rejected in the end due to not enough spots.
 
If I was complete on 7/11 and have not heard anything back, should I be worried? I did not receive the interview hold so I am assuming it will turn into a rejection?
