I applied this cycle but only to 2 schools because I knew my chances were slim to none. My cGPA is 3.01, sGPA is 2.96 and MCAT 26M.Im african american. I graduated from a state school in Florida in December. I have a 2.7 sGPA however my transcript has about 8 F's on it from rough semesters in undergrad. I have 33M MCAT and have done a semester of research and was a student athlete. I also shadowed a physician for about 3 months. Did you apply to medical school this cycle as well?
I'd like to say great going first of all to all those applying to the program, and any other postbac program out the for med school as well. It's very much well worth it.
That said, if any of you would like to know any specific information regarding the program, have a practice run through interview, get some advice, mentoring, or anything else that can come to your mind then let me know.
I'm a previous success through the program and at drexel med right now. For those who have their interviews coming up maybe I'll see you on your interview days, & congrats thus far!!
Thanks Dracosrg! I really, really want to get into this program and then start as a medical student at DUCOM! I have my interview in a few weeks and I have been scouring the internet on tips on how to prepare for a medical school interview! I have been studying my application over and over again and practicing by myself lol! But would you happen to have any extra suggestions of what I should be doing, or what I should expect? I am really nervous because I want to make a good impression because Drexel has always been my number one choice of medical schools! Any adivce that you can give would be very much appreciated! I am sorry this is so long lol!
I'm here to help. I remember how it was for me in your shoes and had I had someone to help me out along in the process it would have mad everything that much easier.
It's great you're going over your application-- you really have to know it and especially your personal statement. In general-- knowing your strengths and weaknesses is crucial as is why you want and why you feel you would be a stellar fit to the Drexel med community.
If you can get an interviewing partner that would be great (sometimes we don't notice the fillers we say when we are alone-- the 'ums' 'uhs' 'mms' 'oks') practice. If you'd like I can be your mock interviewer. I've done plenty of student interviews, have a good sense for whatbdrexel desires in student applicants and can give you more focused advice on your particular responses or experiences.
If that's something you, or anyone else here would like to do just PM me and I'll give you my # or we can Skype or vid chat via gmail and practice it out.
Sorry for the lengthy response in return!
Did anyone receive a confirmatl or anything after they submitted their application? I just can't find anywhere to check the status of my application or the materials they received. I haven't heard anything at all.

Does anyone know if there is a disadvantage in applying later? I know that it. s rolling admissions, but based on last years forum peopwa
le got acceptances as late as two weeks before the start of class.
It is not rolling admissions. Acceptance decisions are sent out at the same time for everyone, which has generally been about two weeks prior to the start of summer session. The committee actually meets and does a final review of all the interviewed candidates. That said, you obviously shouldn't wait until the absolute deadline, in case you have to resend or verify documents, then don't end up getting an interview invite, which is a rolling process.Does anyone know if there is a disadvantage in applying later?

Received application complete email yesterday....I understand your worries! I completed my application in early November but did not get a message until December! Just hang in there, they are probably really busy over there but I am sure they will get to you soon!
Received application complete email yesterday....
Maybe two weeks.How long did it take you to get the email after you sent your transcripts and MCAT scores? I sent mine two weeks ago and they still don't have them.
Hey Guys,
I was regretfully not accepted. It seems they are dishing out decisions today. I applied to MSP as well and had the interview today so we shall see. Good luck to everyone else.

Do the recommenders mail the letters? Also, what is the address?
Or is there some way they can submit their letters online?
Thanks!
MIne are pretty low as well, could you share your stats please?
Thanks

Forgot to quote your Q in my previous reply.hey Dracosrg...I have a question for you. Would you say that the workload is overall doable, or was it tough to maintain the required GPA for the program. Also did a good amount of people in your class get accepted into drexel the following year?
