My status on Drexel's page: A final decision has been reached and a letter will be mailed to your preferred address.

Anyone heard back yet? Have any news? Or accepted --- if so, when did you get your letter?
 
bump bump ... anyone?
 
okay thanks. arggh. i feel like the only person out there with this ambiguousness. surely someone else ...
 
yeah mine says its still under review, but I heard that letters were gonna be sent out this week.
 
Me three. I interviewed on Drexel's first interview date and my status still says 'you interview has been scheduled~~please allow 6-8 weeks for a decision'.
 
My status doesn't even say anything about being under review. It just says "your interview has been scheduled. If you've appeared for the interview, please allow 6-8 weeks for a decision".

I interviewed on 10/1, I know that was pretty early but not sure exactly when they started. Here's hoping they send those letters out soon...
 
Wow. Now I'm really intrigued. Interviewed on the 3rd day of interviews, but they interview almost everyday. My status has been "final decision" since this Monday ... maybe I will be the first drex acceptance/waitlist/reject of the regular season?! Gahhhhh snail mail ...

If I get any news tomorrow or after, I'll be sure to post.

That's interesting. I interviewed on 10/1 as well but my status changed from what you have to, "Your file is currently under review by the admissions committee. No decision has yet been made regarding your admission status to Drexel..."

Very weird.

They started interviewing on 9/24. I am surprised that there's such a discrepancy in terms of statuses of people who interviewed in the first two weeks. Oh well, I'm gonna call it a night, no use in speculating. Hopefully tomorrow will be more promising.

Yep. Good luck.
 
In the application summary section of the status page, does it give you information about your major and concentration (ie "Medicine, Integrated Curriculum" for major department and "Intdept. Foundations of Med." for major concentration)? I definitely didn't see this stuff here when I checked my status the last time, but this was also after my interview so just wanted to see what it says for everyone else.

PS, I used to be a legitimate human being but this whole process is beating it out of me

Much appreciated info DrAife. That was like the most reassuring thing ever. Looks like I'll be camping out at the mailbox for the rest of the week!
 
yeah that week long campout was "interesting". if it helps any its a big letter size yellowish envelope, i have never loved my mailbox more than that day when i saw it

Sweeeet. I received a much unexpected acceptance to Jefferson on Wed., so the pressure's off. But still very much interested in what Drexel has to say. Best of luck to you, I will post as soon as I get the letter, whether thick or thin envelope.
 
Drexel mustn't love me...my status page says i've been reviewed and they haven't made a final decision but they'll deal with it later...so drexel put me on the back burner 😉
 
10/19 received Drexel acceptance letter, dated 10/15. For all of you that had your status change to "final decision" this week, I'd bet you guys are so in. Gluck to all.

PS I live 30 min outside Philly, so all you West Coasters don't get excited. It'll come!

thanks drogba, i feel fortunate to have choices so early on. usually don't like to advertise stats (hence no mdapplicants) but i guess i can give an outline of credentials.

GPA: 3.9+ (not from an elite or highly ranked school)
MCAT: 11s and 12s per section
Extracurrics: nothing extraordinary, research no pubs, hosp volunteering, shadowing, community service, the like
Also had strong personal statement/good interview

well it's friday night and i have acceptances, so it's time to hit the town. i would advise everyone else to do the same, acceptances or not. who knows what next week will hold. again best of luck to all.
 
Congrats dth!!!!

I second that motion about hittin' the town regardless of decisions, go out and have some fun people! The apps. are in and all you can do at this point is know you've done your best, roll the dice and go with the flow!

😀😉:hardy:

Thanks. Have a good time.
 
I was just wondering if that big yellow envelope came for you yet. My status was updated last monday and i am waiting by the mail box hoping for the best.

Nope, it's been a week but nothing has come. I was thinking about calling tomorrow, but they'll probably just tell me to wait for the mail.

hey guys i actually called drexel today (wednesday) and they said that some letters just went out today even though they updated our pages last week. so keep waiting, hopefully it will come for all of us at the end of the week 😉
 
Sorry to hear that. I am still waiting for my letter to come. I am a west coaster, so hopefully tomorrow or saturday. It would be a killer to wait until next monday.
 
that sux...I was waitlisted last year at Drexel and it didn't move. I'm also from west coast and I hope to hear very soon. My status has been "under review" forever now.

When did you interview? I interviewed Oct 15, and they made a decision in about a week.I don't know if that is good or not.
 
JSB when did you interview? I interviewed Oct 14th and haven't heard anything? What was the decision?
 
Sorry I meant not when did you interview but how did you know when they made a decision did you call?

I checked by status page, and it said a final decision has been made, and a letter will be mailed to a prefered address.
 
i interviewed on 9/26 and i haven't heard anything... still "under review"
 
So I thought I did great at the interview... apparently I was wrong. Rejection letter came in the mail today after a week of first seeing the Final decision status. I'm pretty bummed. Hope things work out better for you guys!

How did you feel about your interview overall?

I felt pretty good about it and was confident I had gotten in. My student interviewer ended up going to high school with me! We never knew each other during school, but hit it off from then on and had mutual friends in common. The faculty interview went great as well. So I was just pretty upset!

Hmm....well if I've learned anything on SDN, it's that it's very difficult to judge whether or not you'll get accepted based on how you feel you did on your interview. It seems that all too frequently people think their interview went terrific, and they get waitlisted/rejected, while people who "bombed" the interview get accepted right away.


Such a bizarre process . . .
 
Were you guys able to still click on your status link after you saw the final decision status? I never had my status changed to that (It only said "your interview has been scheduled, please allow 6-8 weeks for a decision), but there is no longer a link to check my status when I go to the applicants home page...weird
 
did anyone who interviewed with me on October 12th receive any word since then???

I interviewed on 9/26, and still no word. Just what it says online, that it's under review by the committee and no decision has been made.
