I got off the phone with one of the program advisers. He said they do accept people that don't meet the gpa requirements, but standarized testing and experience is what will weigh in. I suggest you talk to the program advisers to put a name to the face. They can actually redirect you to a program they think is well suited for you. He said spots don't really start to fill up until June~July. I hope this helps.
Hey, a 3.0 is good for the program you're not on the lower end! And unfortunately they still do but that is because ETS is letting you take the GRE from home now. The application is not due till August 3rd, so you have plenty of time. I am in a similar boat and I have been talking to them non stop and they said that an above 150 GRE score for both sections should be just fine with that GPA.
Congratulations! Do you know anyone in the program or have you heard good things about it?
I don't know anyone but I have talked to people who did the program. Basically need a 3.0 gpa for an interview into the med school while in the program, first year is undergraduate pre-requisites, second year is med school courses (M1 equivalent), need to retake mcat while in the program but there is an mcat course, everyone who completes the program gets into some type of med school afterwards (according to the person that told me) and those who interview at drexel usually get in due to the fact that drexel like to accept their own.
Yes I am, although I have not registered. Im in my last semester of undergrad right now and getting bombarded with exams and finals. I think im going to wait until all of that is over, review everything I have studied throughout the semester for 3-4 weeks and take it at the end of may. They said they don't usually have an issue with spots around that time unless you apply like a week before the deadline. Oh also, they said they barely look at verbal. obviously aim for the 150 since that is 50th percentile but shoot for a higher math. It will make you more competitive.
I heard back in about a week
to hear back about IHS or MBS?
They got back to me within a week of submitting my MBS! they emailed me requesting an interview for IHS in place.
Congrats!!! I'm still waiting for an update on my application. I haven't seen a group so far. When did you do your interview?
Thank you!! I did my interview on Thursday and heard back Friday morning
What kind of interview questions did they ask you?
just basic stuff like tell us about yourself and things like that, but it’s super casual they just wanna know more about you. don’t stress it too much, you got this! good luck
3.5 GPA and 97th percentile GRE
Thank you for your response. I’m a bit worried because I have a low gpa of a 2.6. So my main focus is the GRE to help compensate. I really would like to get in to Drexel’s IHS program, I just hope spots do not fill up by August.
I was wondering the same thing
they said they will announce more info next week about it!
You can just email an official score report to [email protected]. Thats what I did.Has anyone taken the MCAT and are sending them to the MBS program? I sent mine to the "Drexel Medical Science Program" since the other Drexel related search item is for DUCOM. Wondering how many days to give it before I make anymore attempts, it's the last item on my list before my application is complete
