This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
For those already accepted, did you guys receive official email or just the phone call?
 
Good morning guys! Hopefully today is the day we get some answers. Btw can someone put the link to the Facebook group in case any of us get good news today.
 
At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if we hear next week. I wonder what is taking them so long lol
 
I bet decisions are gonna be handed out next week LOL
Lol Next week when??? Monday, Tuesday, when?!!!!!!! Lol why are some people getting tortured... btw does everyone here live in the Northeast region??? Because their excuse was that they were calling people based on location:uhno:
 
They have to start being specific at this point. If anyone calls, make sure they give you a specific day..

Is that what they told u when u called, that they are calling based on location ???
 
My friend was accepted via phone. The reason why folks are being called is because they're trying to be courteous to those who have to make major adjustments prior to starting the program (cross country move, resigning from a job, etc.). She said that they told her they have to send 1 email containing the contract, financial aid, and living arrangement info. So to give them time to get all of that together, they decided to call ppl first and send the all inclusive email soon after (which she hasn't received yet either).

My interpretation of earlier post:shrug:
 
I think something is wrong somewhere. Accepted or not, I just wanna understand how some portals are updated and some are not, how people get phone calls and some don't. My main question is, are they still accepting people or are they done with acceptance and we are just waiting for confirmation emails for both acceptances and rejections. I know there's no waitlist this year (heard that during my interview). Lol we could really just be waiting for our rejection emails guys lol

Ooo noo don't be so negative. When I called yesterday, the admission committee was still reviewing applications. This applicant pool was divided into three groups and they were reviewing the third group yesterday and today. Don't lose hope. Remain positive

Oops I'm sorry. Didn't know that
 
So I just checked my application and the status went from under review to blank...:eyebrow:. I didn't receive an interview so I'm assuming they're trying to give me the rejection in doses lol. I'm really just trying to make light of the situation. This just means I have to go through the traditional application cycle with the rest of the 50k ppl applying this year. What's for me will be I guess 🙂

Anyone got an update today?

That a girl! We're going to dominate this cycle. No worries. Do you plan to apply to Drexel Regular Decision?

I will apply. However, I will acknowledge that the program in general seems to be pretty matrix driven, meaning they look for numbers. With my academic background that may not suit me. I went from a 2.88 undergrad to a 3.88 (34 credits) post bac and a 3.73 grad gpa. My mcat is terrible to say the least but I'm taking it again. With that, my undergrad + post bac combined BARELY get to a 3.0. With my life story and crazy amount of healthcare experience/ epi research, I believe I will fare better at a DO school, holistically speaking I believe. I'm honestly indifferent between MD/DO.
 
Saw the rejection in my portal today. There you have it! I'm bowing out folks :bow:. Please stay inspired on the journey and remember that what's in you is greater than what lie ahead of you. We really can do anything! Just be persistent!!! Peace and love 😀😀😀
Did you interview?

Sorry to hear that buddy! Stay strong and I know you will make it. Hope I am as strong when they deal my card!
 
He said he didn't - a couple of posts earlier.


He? I'm actually a woman lol - no harm done .


Look into DO post bacs like VCOM, LECOM, BCOM. They all have good linkages especially VCOM and LECOM. VCOM allows grade replacement even with the policy change this year. Hopefully they still do after this year

Is the grade replacement just for the linkage program or for the med school cycle? Thanks for the info. Had no idea some schools were still POSSIBLY doing grade replacement.
