Final Decision status today. Most likely a rejection but here is hoping. Does anyone know when most of the acceptances are taken by?

 

[Ginger Doctor]

well this is frustrating since I interviewed the first week of January and have been with the committee for over a month and didn't get a Final Decision change. How does it go again? Final decision means either acceptance or rejected by letter? and waitlist by email? i may be completely wrong

 

[depress]

I interviewed 1/7 and I have been with committee for about 1 month now... has anyone that interviewed on 1/7 gotten a decision status?

 

[depress]

Final Decision! I interviewed early January. Honestly, I'd rather get either an acceptance or a rejection, these waiting lists are killing me. Anyone know how long it takes the mail to come? I live fairly close in NJ

Hey what exact date did you interview?

Thanks

Final decision = acceptance or rejection by letter
Decision = waitlist by....something I forget

Everything is by snailmail.

Also, I don't remember who it was above, but feel free to PM me about living in Philly. I haven't dealt with the cross-country move, but I have been here over 10 years.

I had to wait 16 weeks a decision and I know some had to wait longer. But from the results so far it doesn't mean you're definitely waitlisted/rejected.

What is the lowest score that anyone has heard of Drexel accepting into their school?

 

[phranklee]

What is the lowest score that anyone has heard of Drexel accepting into their school?

According to MSAR the 10th percentile last year was 28.

I interviewed first week of December and I was just sent to the committee this past week.
Nothing we can do except wait.

Final decision = accepted or rejected
Decision = waitlist

Final decision (interviewed 12/12)

Same day as you, January 7th. I've been with the committee for over a month so I was expecting to get a decision soon.

Keep in mind, those with low MCATs who get into med school usually have something else going for them that makes that forgivable. It is definitely the exception and not the rule.

 

[slothster]

Nice to see they're consistent with timelines and not reviewing some of us much faster than others... Good luck to you too.

Final decision status today...I feel like I was with the committee for less than a week

I really hope so! The short time for review makes me nervous, but I guess there's nothing for me to do except wait

What. 17 people matched rads?

 

[courtnes]

Yeah, I think that's actually a lighter year for us. Normally I feel like there are about 25 each for rads and anesthesiology. Info for the past 5 years or so is on the Career Services page if you're interested.

 

[sbuxaddict]

It takes a while to get to committee, but once it happens it can go through really fast. Good Luck!!!

Thank you, hopefully it was good news!
And I've been reading your blog, really interesting and informative posts!

 

[Full Methyl]

so this is very last minute and thus understandably unlikely, but my living arrangements (a Drexel, but not a medical student) fell apart. I'm flying into to Philly tomorrow night for an interview on Tuesday, I was wondering if any students on here would be available for an emergency hosting?

If so please reply or PM as soon as possible! I arrive in Philly at 11pm!

If not, any affordable lodging suggestions near the school? I'm unfamiliar with the area and flying in late so would much much prefer a student host, thanks!

Holiday inn express in center city then train to queen lane. It's easy to figure out the public transport and there aren't any transfers.

Hey guys,

I recently got into Drexel and I found out that second look day is April 6. I want to go to get a better feel for the school but after emailing two people in admissions, neither has yet to get back to me. Does anyone have more information or an itinerary for the day?

Seems like their office doesnt work fast in any process.

Have never posted before. I see that many ppl are curious about dates/stats:

Interview: Oct 23
Member of a committee: all of february
Committee: somewhere early/mid march (2 weeks)
Delivery to permanent address took about 11 days (CA)

3.8cGPA/3.8sGPA/30S

Has anyone gotten that follow up email with hotel information for the second look day for accepted students? It's coming up soon and I've been waiting to book a hotel until that e-mail comes.
