Don’t lose hope! Even after the business day is over, you still never know. I don’t think any of us know for certain when final decisions will be made with this admission cycle. Especially since people can get waitlisted and then ultimately accepted at any point. This med school journey is a winding road, so never lose hope!
I interviewed May 23 and received my A at 4pm today. I will be declining my acceptance as I was accepted to medical school last week. I hope my seat goes to one of you! Best of luck, future docs! I can’t wait to serve alongside you 💕
There might be. If people got in and decide to not attend the program, I’m sure they will give those seats to others that didn’t hear back today.

I’m hoping this is the case. 🥺
Hey y’all! I just saw I received a Acceptance at 10:45 (Central time). I was recently accepted to medical school though, so I will be declining my acceptance. I hope it goes out to one of you [emoji3590][emoji3590]
If it doesn’t, please don’t be so hard on yourself. Last year I was rejected from the Drexel program after interviewing and unfortunately didn’t get into any medical school. I was heartbroken at first but then I knew I still wanted to do this and had to push myself through it again. If it doesn’t work out this year, and you really want to become a doctor, don’t give up. One year from now, it will ALL BE WORTH IT I PROMISE.

Hi! For anyone accepted does anyone know when we’ll here about housing information for the summer program? Like is it suite style, do we have roommates, when can we move in, etc. Or has any additional information?!

Yes! I set mine up there’s a link in your drexel portal that allows you to grab your drexel student accounts! I followed the checklist in my portal!
Same, I emailed LTS and they said it will take 2-3 days.

Hi! I also don’t know a lot about housing but I did hear that we should be getting more information in a few days. They wanted to get a better idea of acceptances before sending out info. And I’m pretty sure we will be in Stiles Hall

No news yet, does that mean rejection and I just won’t find out until the program starts? Not knowing anything is so challenging.
I’m wondering the same

Hey everyone, so i recently had a financial aid question cleared up b/c i just called and figured i would put it on here too if others had similar concerns. On the financial aid tab of discover drexel, my portal says "Financial aid information is not available for the term for which you have applied." lol so i panicked (bc like WUT) and called since I did the FAFSA and all. Drexel Central said not to worry and that incoming DPMS students should be getting their financial aid packages sent out by the end of next week!

Recently accepted and I have a few questions for current DPMSers or the TA's! Did you have a car? And do they give you a meal plan? How do you get food? Also how accurate is this review lol

There are a lot of us who chose not to bring a car or simply didnt have one yet. However, thats mostly if you live in center city.
We did not have any drexel-provided housing, so i dont think anyone can attest to Stiles Hall living conditions. The point of providing housing for the summer is so that you can find your apartment, etc with less stress. Stiles Halls is located in center city just a couple mins walk from New College Building. So it will be a convenient transitional location for those who accept it. Philadelphia in general requires being prudent about one’s personal safety, esp past dark. But that will be reiterated more during the summer. Hopefully that helps!
And no meal-plan..

I think it would depend on what place you are in the waitlist. They probably don't tell students what spot they have on the wait list.

For accepted students or past DPMS students, any school supply recommendations of what we will 'need' or be most helpful?
They mentioned an iPad is really helpful.

Does anyone know which of the health/immunization forms are mandatory? A little confused on the immunization record form which is separate from the compliance forms

Thanks for answering, so I'm guessing that students who didn't have cars used public transportation to get groceries and such? If you had any experience with public transport, how reliable would you say it is? I don't plan on having a vehicle on campus.

I had to get the authenticator app but nothing else. What app can't you delete?

Was looking through the checklist and I had the same question. @Allyssa411 do they have an orientation or info session to help us transition and get all this required material submitted and also to register for classes? I feel kind of lost lol
did anyone else get a waitlist email today?
