Drexel DPMS 2020-2021

[thenamesdr]

Hey everyone, I hope you guys are all staying safe. I'm a frequent stalker of this page and currently an applicant. So my admission status just went blank and I'm taking that as a rejection has anyone else had this happen?

It means your portal is about to be updated with a decision within the coming days.

I literally get pissed off at every email I get that isn't from drexel lol.

 

[Tètè0717]

How many of you are still waiting for an interview? I am. I did my app 05/03, completed about two weeks after.

Hang in there y’all!!! I am losing it too!
I guess it’s time to have a glass or FIFTEEN of wine

 

[Somo sapiens]

Maybe we’re all in a level of Dante’s Inferno where you just wait for ever.

At this point its like how have they not come up with a concrete day to release decisions and let us know what day. Waiting day by day like this with no clue when I am going to get an email is so stressful. But then again maybe this wait is just getting to my head.

Honestly previous classes knew first round of decisions 1 week ago. Of course there are many factors for why this year is different but I can’t lie, it’s a bit of a bother. I would just like to know so I can plan accordingly for my future, regardless of the outcome. Other programs are sticking to their deadlines more or less so it makes it hard for those of us who are also considering those programs.

Just 37 days (or less) until we all find out our fate! My birthday is in 13 days. Really hoping I get an acceptance to at least one of the programs I’ve applied to by then...

Happy early birthday! I hope you get good news soon!

I encourage everyone to have backup schools or plans hopefully with a guaranteed interview at the very least! This is really up in the air, but don’t put all of your eggs in one basket.
I read up on this thread that someone missed deadlines to pay their deposit of other schools they were accepted to, & I don’t recommend that! At least make a deposit to another school you’ve been accepted into. Even if you get into DPMS & lose the other deposit consider it a safe deposit into your future haha.

Would it be unreasonable to send a thank you letter to the interviewer? I’ve done that in past, so I’m wondering if that’s frowned upon or not.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable. I sent a thank you email the day after my interview. I don’t think Drexel is checking their physical mail at the moment, but I think sending an email would suffice.

 

[alp36]

If those who interviewed early do not get an answer tomorrow, I just might die

 

[JR21]

The silence is slowly killing me.

Same !! I’m just praying that I get an answer whatever it may be soon!

I definitely understand the current situation of the world but I feel them saying first wave of acceptance would be mid May (at least in my interview) when it's more so at the end of May was quite misleading and unnecessarily added to the anxiety of a decision for most of us.

I feel played to say the least lol.

I know I feel so stressed. They could have just said end of May... I wonder when they would send the 2nd wave of decisions if the first hasn’t even arrived.

 

[Yamatama]

I hope you guys are all enjoying Memorial Day despite everything!

I feel this! I was first told we would hear back 2 weeks after the interview, then by mid may, then by the end of this past week, and now by the beginning of this week. For my sanity I'm just going to wait until the end of this week.

 

[odette.rosales]

Same, I did the deposit to VCOM MABS but I’m waiting on DPMS. Good luck!

No way! Hope it works out for both of us

 

[JR21]

I was waiting for today, but I feel like today is not the day either

 

[alp36]

I was waiting for today, but I feel like today is not the day either

I’m definitely disappointed...

 

[Yamatama]

Some Interview emails came at around 3pm. I usually give up until that time each day and then wait until the next day lol

 

[TheDr.IsIn]

Im running out of nail to chew on waiting lol my anxiety is at 1000 right now

 

[Tètè0717]

I have not received an II or rejection so I wonder what is the latest to receive an II?

 

[Tètè0717]

All my updates (Incomplete, and complete status) have been sent at 2:56 lol

 

[BubbleStitch]

I only interviewed two weeks ago tomorrow so I’m trying to mentally prep for a potentially much longer wait. I hope those of you who interviewed back in April begin getting notice soon!

Me too! The anticipation is killer and the only thing keeping me sane is reminding myself that no news is good news. Hold on there!

Hopefully today’s the day?

 

[thenamesdr]

It’s crazy because I actually got a call from an unknown philly number yesterday around 1 pm and was scrambling all over to find my phone and answer.

Only for the person on the other end to tell me to pay my electric bill lol.

 

[odette.rosales]

Oh man haha, the universe is playing games now

I keep getting ads to look for apartments in philly while I'm casually scrolling through social media and I think its a ploy to just push my anxiety over the edge!!! The universe is 100% playing games.

 

[Tètè0717]

If you have not received an interview yet. Like this reply. I want to see how many people are waiting for interviews. Thanks

 

[cubabgooding]

@SparklesDuWang Any idea when they will release decisions? You seem to have the inside scoop and we're all going a bit crazy lol

 

[Plant_Daddy]

Has anyone tried reaching out to Steven Rodgers or the admissions office for an update on the timeline?

 

[heliosanthos]

So I just got off the phone with someone named Erin from the office of graduate admissions and she referred to the statement on the DPMS website that says "The final round of decisions for the Drexel Pathway to Medical School program will be communicated within the first two weeks of June". I can't imagine waiting two more weeks from now so if anyone has the # directly to Mr. Rodgers pls let me know!

WAIT but they haven't even released a first round of decisions let alone any to make a "Last round" of them. I don't have his number but if someone does and could reach out to him that would save a lot of us some unneeded stress.

What makes it hard is that first decisions were supposed to be released almost 2 weeks ago. If we had any indication of when they would release them (even if it will be in june) that would allow us to stop checking this site or stress everytime we got an email.

Right! So for clarity I just now called the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and Professional Studies directly and it seems like no one is in the office or answering the phones so I just left a vm.

I just released my acceptance from Johns Hopkins’ SMP because their classes started today. I just hope it was worth it for this program, it’s super difficult considering we were told we would have an answer by now!!

Aww I’m really annoyed on your behalf lol. I told myself that by June 1st I’ll have to give up on this program because this other program acceptance I have is also a blessing even with no conditional acceptance.
Is anyone planning on enrolling in another SMP and then leaving it if they get accepted to DPMS??

So I'm technically already enrolled in another one of Drexel's programs (in the facebook group and everything lol) but I intend to leave once the decision for DPMS comes out. I did get into a program outside of Drexel but I lost my seat due to wanting to wait on DPMS

I’m currently enrolled in drexel mbs but won’t hesitate to shift over to the DPMS program if given the chance lol.
