I interviewed on 10/17 and got my letter on 11/9 (letter dated 11/6) so less than 4-6 weeks. I think they just say that in case it takes longer for some reason.

On a different note, anyone know if we loose our "deposit" to save our spot if we choose to go somewhere else. Im guessing we do but I dont know and would rather not call them and ask.

I think AMCAS rules say that they give you back your deposit up until May 15. after that you can hold only one acceptance.
 
I interviewed on the 25th pf October and they decided on me last week. Sucks that thanksgiving is next week though because my mail will be going to my house in philly and I am going to my real home for thanksgiving. Also my mail has a habit of not getting here, I'm getting myself nervous. Did that guy that picked it up actually get it, or was he being sarcastic, because if I can pick up it might be worth it...so I can give thanks for thanksgiving. Also are we sure that its big envelope for acceptance....just so I don't get all excited and then disappointed.
 
I'm under review! :scared:
 
Hey Bonesaw45, I interviewed on the same day as you! My status page also says a decision has been made, but sadly, no mail. I can't imagine it'll be much longer...

They really will let you pick it up, it just takes a while because they make a decision Friday, then have to print the letters & get the dean to review & sign them.
 
has anyone tried calling since their status has changed to "a decision has been made..."?
 
yes. my status changed last friday to a "decision...mail to preferred address" and I called them yesterday. The lady told me that the letter was sent out on Tuesday. I'm from West Coast so I should probably receive letter by Friday or Saturday
 
So I interviewed Oct. 12th and my status still says Wait 6-8 weeks after your interview has been scheduled...why are so many people hearing before me...does this mean its a rejection or waitlist?
 
me too.. I interviewed Oct 22 tho my interviewer seemed unorganized and kept looking at his watch. I seemed like he would rather be somewhere else more important. If I have to wait for him to write a review I will be the last to know.🙁

I interviewed on the Nov 7th and the interviewer was over an hour late 😱. But he said this was due to the streets being shut down for a police funeral procession. As well, during the interview, he checked his watch during my answers and before he asked any questions. Oh yeah, yesterday my status just changed to under review, I am keepin my fingers crossed.

Also, how seriously does the school consider the student interview? I think I had a great student interview, but I am curious about how serious the admissions committee considers them.
 
Well I just got my acceptance letter to Drexel today (joyous rapture)....keep in mind i interviewed on the 25th of October so people who interviewed before me might want to give the admissions office a call to see what the hell is going on. I live in Philly so the west coast people may take til next week to get theirs (mine was mailed on tuesday too). Also they count their student interview equally to the faculty interview. They are interested in bringing a certain type of person into their program, people who seem like they can work with other people, and the student interview seems to be how their gauge this. Hope this was helpful, congrats to all the acceptances and good luck to all the rest.

Really? I was there that day too. I got my acceptance letter last friday.
 
I had an interview with the dean of admissions and it went wonderfully, and it still took over 6 weeks for me to find out that I have been accepted (and I live in Philly). So... just relax a little.
 
October 25th must have been a good day for us... Just got my acceptance letter today! 🙂
 
I'm under review! how long were the rest of you under review before a decision was made? i'm so nervous!

not very long...maybe a few weeks? they crank out decisions pretty quickly i think. start looking for the letter in your mailbox, good luck!👍
 
I dunno about the quickly part I interviewed Oct. 12th and I am "under review by the committee" finally. This process is very very long.
 
quickly for me. i interviewed oct 26 and got my waitlist letter sent on nov 12. perhaps your lengthy wait is a good sign! :luck:

OOS? or IS?

I interviewed on 10/22 and online status has not been changed from "your interview...6-8weeks."

I'm OOS and went on 11/13 and my status has the 6-8 weeks thing too.
 
Just for reference...

I interviewed on 11/12 and my status changed to "your application is being sent to committee....." on 11/25. i also interviewed with the dean of admissions, so maybe that's why mine got reviewed faster. i just hope it isn't a lightning fast rejection!
 
sorry if this question is out of place but can any of you tell me what your interviews were like? I have one next week and it's my first. Thanks.

OOS. I do know that people who interviewed during the week that I did also received acceptances around the same time that I received my waitlist letter. So I don't think a quick decision indicates what type of decision they have made. Perhaps they just made quick decisions for that week...I don't know. I really have no explanation. Good luck though!

check out the interview feedback for drexel on this website. it will give you a good idea of what to expect. it is one faculty interview and one student interview. drexel was my first interview too, and i think it's a great place to start. it is a pretty laid back day.

Thanks.
Good luck to you as well!
 
Does anyone know how often/what day the adcom meets to make post-interview decisions?
 
They meet every thursday.
 
This is kind of off topic but I have an interview next week

how were the interviews? and did you guys like the campus etc.?
And yes I already looked at the interview part of SDN
just trying to get some additional info on the school/interview
thanks 🙂
 
All right, I'm officially waiting now. My status just changed to "A final decision has been reached and a letter will be mailed to your preferred address." Fingers crossed! I just skimmed through this thread, and I think I counted 6 accepted, 2 waitlisted, and 2 rejected once Drexel posted this message. If you're curious, it's been six weeks since my interview.

Good luck to all, as always.

I was wondering if your status changed at all between your interview and the "final decision" message.

And good luck to you! I hope the news is good.

Unfortunately (or possibly thankfully), my premeditis isn't quite bad enough for me to check that often or to remember what previous messages said. Skimming back through the thread, I seem to recall that I had the "interview scheduled" message for quite a while, then the "under review" one. I can't remember if there was another before the review one... I think there was a "we're deciding soon" message before the "final decision" one. Sorry. Hope that helps.

It does. Thanks. My interview was a month ago and it still says "interview scheduled etc."

I thought Drexel's interview day was more organized and better than the other schools that I had a chance to visit. A lot of people didn't like having to take the shuttle to the hospital but I thought it was a good chance to see exactly how long it would be there, plus I got to talk with a few current Drexel students on the way to the interview.

Haha just reading this makes me nervous... at least you've already got an acceptance, so the pressure off for you.

Yeah, but the pressure had been on since June 2006 before that. Yay reapplicants... it felt incredible to finally get in. 😀

Seriously, though, I'm stressing about it more than I usually would because I'm not in town to check my mail.
 
My status switched to "A final decision has been made..." on Monday..it seems like it takes about a week to get a decision?
 
ok,
i'm finally under review after 8 weeks and 3days.
i guess it'll take couple weeks from now plus the snailmail.
hope it's the thick one.
 
Just called and apparently I am under review by the committee TODAY! Wish me luck everyone.
 
xanthomondo said:
wow and you only interviewed 12 days ago?
Click to expand...

Yeah! I am guessing that this has to do with how quickly your interviewer turns around your review. I was interviewed by the biochem professor and I was already being reviewed by a member of the committee two days after my interview. She must have handed in the review of the interview right after it was done.
 
final dicision has been made after 3 days of "under review"
guess I'll find out next week!
hopping for this long shot to come through...
:luck::luck::luck:
 
did anyone's status change today? i've been "under review" for over 2 weeks now. i'm guessing if they don't mail the letters this week, we won't find out anything until next year.
 
How long has it been taking most of you to receive responses after "you're decision has been made"..I received that message on the 10th and still no mail 🙁
