They might have just put their interview in admit as they put their acceptance in. If that’s where you heard that from. Because i haven’t heard of that happening from drexel

Nah I get post ii rejection. That is crazy. I don’t understand what I did that was so terrible to be warranted a straight up rejection

That's really strange, I think Drexel usually defers => waitlist or accepts

I have a Drexel Interview coming up and I saw on the agenda tab that there is supposed to be a "virtual interview day packet" on the resources tab, but I cannot find it. Can anyone else? I also was not told how long we have to answer each question for the MMI on Kira. Any advice would be appreciated! I emailed and called the school and have not heard back.

It'll come up, no need to worry. I think I had it - 2/3 weeks before.
For MMI, you will have enough time. I don't think I should give you any more info because it would be an advantage.
Don't stress too much.
Anyone who interviewed today. How was the experience

Does anyone know why people who interviewed on the same day/over a month later are getting decisions (acceptance/deferral), whereas I’ve heard nothing?

Does anyone know until when Drexel offers interviews? I haven't heard anything yet (I submitted my secondary on 8/7), but wanted to know if there's still a chance.
Wondering the same!

If it's not a reject or hold for II, you got a chance.

Based on your name you sound OOS
I believe they have an in state preference and will accept instate people before out of state people even if the in-states interviewed later
That or a combination of strong interview performance, academics, extracurriculars, fit, essays probably make people quicker admits
For example I got a reasonably quick ii —> A turnaround likely because I think I interviewed reasonably well, stats>median, am from pa, and worked at one of their clinical sites

Give me that quick turnaround
OOS Deferred, interviewed 10/20 🙁 Was really hoping for an A

Their system is so weird. I interviewed 9/15, and I had ppl hearing back before me (both deferrals and A's) who interviewed in October. Ended up getting deferred. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it though.
Defer on 11/12 if it helps anyone out with the dates (IS as well)

dude, we can't reveal anything about the questions. Search up MMI questions and practice with those
Hi! I had a quick question, is Drexel P/F?
P/F preclinical, H/HP/P/F clinical
thank you, is there internal rank and or MSPE?
I'm pretty sure every medical school in the country has an MSPE. They do give us our actual grades in our grade system, I am not 100% sure how they use them.
Does Drexel operate on a rolling admissions basis?

OOS A! interviewed 10/29◡̈
If you do not want to be at a yearlong rotation site, then you would simply not participate in the lottery for a yearlong rotation site. There is no guarantee that all of your clerkships as a rotator will be in Philly specifically though. Some people have theirs all in Philly, others do not.

Hi everyone I had a quick question about the post interview essay. I submitted mine within the time frame, however when I click on the interview essay in the portal it shows "This page is completed" and "This page is closed". I can see the writing I submitted, does this mean the page is closed but my submission was received?

what does "this page is completed" mean?

Not too sure, but I wouldn't look too deep into it ngl. As long as it says your application is complete on the status page, you should be chilling
