I interveiwed march 9 but still have the interview link...
I called today and the guy told me that waitlist movement hasn't started yet. Has anyone else heard this?
Hey everyone....long time SDN lurker who has been following this thread particularly closely and finally overcame her procrastination in joining! I would have been lost without this thread (and SDN in general), so thanks for everything!
I interviewed at Drexel on 03/30 and noticed that my interview link disappeared this morning. I called Drexel to doublecheck and it looks like my file goes to committee tomorrow! A little surreal to think that while I drink my morning coffee in CA, my future is being decided several time zones away! Just wanted to say good luck to everyone else going to committee with me tomorrow!
It appears that Drexel doesn't believe in first come first serve b/c some ppl are receiving decisions before other ppl who interviewed earlier, in some cases more than just a few weeks earlier. I'm wondering whether the interviewer has something to do with it. So for all you guys who saw your link go away after only a couple weeks, with whom did you interview? It seems like you would have to wait longer if you had to go to Hahnemann vs. if you interviewed with either someone working on the AdCom or someone who had their office at the med school.

That is great news! I hope everything works out for you. With any luck, I'll see you at orientation in August!!!
Hey everyone! I turned in my deposit for Drexel already but I just got accepted to my state school yesterday. Therefore, I want to know how I can withdraw myself so that someone else can have the spot. Thanks!
try to get your deposit back to treat us crawfish chipmunk
I was wondering...those of you who had a relatively quick decision made (< 3 weeks), did you send a letter of intent beforehand?

Did not send a letter of intent
Agreed. Just be patient. Revisit this question again if in fact you get placed on their waitlist.
just got my drexel acceptance on monday (in Minneapolis) from interview on 20 March. didn't send a letter of intent and was worried because both my faculty and student lunch interview seemed impossibly short (15 minutes for faculty, though he was extremely nice) ... so don't stress too much (even though i did)... barring some waitlist movement at other schools, i hope to be seeing some of you in philly in august!
congrats dghannah! i was there on 3/20 also. do you remember me, hahah i showed up a little late that morning. anyway i also was accepted! anyway, didn't they say that they'd get back to us 6-8 weeks? well it only took them 3.. so i was very surprised when my roommate ran to me (he's taking the mcat and applying next year) with the envelope!
i also didn't send a LOI.

Hey guys. Just thought you all should know that I've just declined my acceptance at Drexel, so here's to hoping that spot goes to one of y'all. Best of luck!
Hello everyone,
I was interviewed early April at Drexel. I have a quick question for you all. When you talk about the 'interview link' are you referring to the link on BannerWeb that says "View your Interview Appointment "? I just want to make absolutely sure
Thanks
Thank you for clearing that up Soggun. It's only been two weeks for me so mine's still up!

When does the committe meet? I think they told us when we interviewed but I can't seem to remember.
I just heard, I'm in!! Interviewed 2/28, acceptance leter dated 3/14, got my packet yesterday (3/27). Good luck everyone
Does anyone know if letter of intent helps alot BEFORE a decision is made? or more so, after one is waitlisted etc

I was just informed my deferal request was denied for some ungodly reason. I'll see you guys in the fall, i guess
I guess you're not too excited.
They meet every Thursday. So if your link recently disappeared, you're most likely going to committee tomorrow.
My file went to committee last Thursday, so I called the Admissions Office today to see when my letter had been sent out (yes, I am eager). I then found out that although my file did go to committee, it did not come up for decision! I didn't even know that was a possibility!!
The committee met today and apparently they are also having a special session tomorrow, so good luck to everyone who's still waiting.
So does the link disappear on Thursday then? or Friday? Have peoples' links gone away on every day of the week or just on one particular day?
My link went away on 04/11 (a Wed.), the day before my file went to committee. In response to an earlier post, I think the link disappears when your file is set to go to committee, and does not necessarily mean a decision has been made, as I learned today.
yep exactly my story. I didn't call today though, since my link is still here I think they haven't made the decision. I might call them tomorrow.
and what makes me really nervous and really sad is that I interviewed 02/06 ..

Thanks mate, I appreciate it! I'll have to check every day then
Good luck to everyone

That's true. My link went away a looong time ago (in my anxious eyes anyway) and I still have yet to read my decision. It goes away because your file is going to committee.
I don't understand how it works for the people who've been waiting awhile and then the link disappears. Has that file been sitting for months or has it been continuously reviewed and the applicant just never noticed the link appearing and disappearing?
One of the great mysteries of the universe...
