Hang in there, I'm on the same boat! There will be one more wave of decisions that will come out. No clue when that will be tho
6-week summer starts June 27th. This year, the Summer portion is also in-person in Philly. So yes, you would be expected (or needed) to be in Philly by that time. Summer housing is provided 😊
To add to the question, how big/small of a gap is there between the end of the summer session and the beginning of the fall semester? How long do you have to secure housing after the summer session? Thanks!
If im not mistaken, i think the gap between summer and fall is a week. So your 6wk summer is plenty of time to search and secure housing in person
That is something i dont know. They would be communicating that to you guys first before us, id assume. That could be a question to ask Thelicia 😊
Hi! You will be expected to be settled in Philly to start the 6-week summer session regardless of when you are accepted. For perspective, the second wave of acceptances came out on June 13th last year, and the first day of the summer session was on June 28th. Unfortunately, the timeline is very tight and it is not so convenient for some people (especially if you live across the country). Nonetheless, housing will be provided during this time which should make it easier to find an apt for the rest of the year.
If I remember correctly, it was about 4 days (like the weekend + a day or so). But, most people were able to find housing during the summer session and were already moved in by the time the Fall semester started. A lot of resources will be provided in order to alleviate the burden of finding housing on your own, in addition to various places where most DPMSers lived/live.
Hmmm that's a very tiny timeframe to pack up and move... now I'm thinking that the second wave may favor close-to-Philly applicants for that reason alone 🤔
True. It was a long weekend 🥴
Thank you both. How close is the graduate housing to where classes are. Is it within walking distance /reasonable public transportation distance (example meaning like less than 30 min trip via bus or train). I’m assuming where we live and have to go for our classes would be relatively close.
Just a couple mins walk!
NCB the rest of this yr. Then university city in 2023. Whenever the new medical school officially opens. Concrete dates are still up in the air.
thank you!!! NCB= New College Building?
Yesss. NCB is in Center-City. The rest of the year will be in University-City (where the undergrad campus is).
Anytime I see a notif on this thread, I have a mini heart attack lol.... but iirc from the interview info session, grad housing for summer is ONLY for DPMS students. No pets, no SO's.
@ForPetesSake agree with this answer. We were told in our interview that it is the student only (no others, even pets, in the room 😁)
I guess today wasn't the day, friends
Lol not at all! so don't add more stress to your life haha
ur username be on point, my friend

I interviewed May 4th too! omg we might have been in the same zoom thingy
Omg heyyyy!! Probably!
That squirrel is just living life. Stress free. Must be nice 🙂
The summer portion of the program will be in Center City. The rest of the year, fall & spring semesters, will be in University City.
We anticipate the incoming class to have 70 seats this year 🙂

Do you happen to know how many interviews there were? Thank you so much for being a connection for us!
Second this. It would be wonderful to know how many interviewed and I'm so excited that there are that many seats!
