Radio silence on my end which is quite disappointing since I interviewed 3/9 and some students from mid-march have received their decisions. It looked like they usually sent out decisions by Wednesday but maybe Friday we'll here some updates
I also interviewed early March and was feeling hopeful when all the other March interviewees were hearing back, but so far it's been radio silence.
Lmaooo, you seem awfully familiar, it’s July 9th I believe!
HAHA thank you!
yeah that’s wild.. also shocked that I have to press submit on next years application before I even hear back from my interview..
Yea I also tried calling them but it goes to voicemail
there's someone in the drexel groupme that received one
if you don't mind, what days did you interview?
3/23
3/16
You have as long as Drexel says you have to decide. It’s not usually two weeks, it’s shorter, but you will have to ask Drexel. You are allowed to take the acceptance as long as you haven’t selected commit to enroll at another school.
Is this the first wl movement?
seems like the first posted on sdn
I would go by what the website states. You could always email to verify though
I did but no response 🥲. Also calling them goes to voicemail. Thanks I’ll hope the website is the correct one cause if not my MCAT will be expired for them
This is directly from their website:
I see schools making a distinction between application year and matriculation year. I thought application year would be the year you apply(2022) and matriculant year as the year you start class(2023).
I know. It's a point of constant confusion for everyone. But if you go into AMCAS, you will see that the application you are submitting is for the "2023 Application Cycle."
Alright yeah I see what you’re saying. So going by their website “three years from application year” makes it 2020 as the oldest year. Is this implying that they’ll accept every MCAT score from 2020? MSAR specifically says September of 2020. I took my test Jan 18 of 2020 so this makes a difference for me. Again I can just ask them directly but there hasn’t been a response from them for over a week.
Some schools will make the distinction that youre referring to, but Drexel does not appear to. For this specific school, it appears that as long as your test was taken in 2020 (any month), it will be accepted. This may not be the case for other programs. Let me know if my inpretation is incorrect. Best of luck in this application cycle!
My concern is that they make the distinction on MSAR by stating that the oldest MCAT they’ll take is from September of 2020. On the website they don’t make that distinction and implied they’ll accept all scores from 2020 so I’m not too sure which one to trust.
That's right. The website does imply they will accept any 2020 score, but MSAR specifically says September.
Probably not. Research opportunities at Penn are unlikely to translate to residencies at Penn.
You might not want to hear this, but the tip is to be very thankful that you have a MD A that you have to CTE to, and that your alternatives are not DO or reapplication.
Definitely don't want to sound unappreciative for the record - this is my third cycle applying and my first acceptance of any kind. Appreciate the perspective though, thank you.
