Armaghan2012 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Congrats to all of you that have been accepted. I interviewed Oct 6th and haven't heard back yet :( I am very worried. Has anyone from that date heard anything yet? thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlcherf Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Got an invitation pretty late and my interview isn't until Jan 9th... anyone else in that boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kal14 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Yeah, I got an invitation for the January 9th interview as well. I know someone in the current class who interviewed last February and ended up being accepted. So maybe there's still hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurelAllison Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Got an invitation pretty late and my interview isn't until Jan 9th... anyone else in that boat? I will be there January 9th!

lamb_chop Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 When I spoke with Janet about a week ago I asked her if the class was almost full - she said not at all and that they do it differently than other programs and they "like to take their time" so congrats to you Jan. 9th people. There's definitely still lots of spots open! Good luck! Drexel has a great program and they really make you feel so welcomed and comfortable on the interview day.

raemrock6446 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Anyone from the October 27th interview hear anything back yet?? I'm so anxious to hear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlcherf Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Thank you lamb_chop! I was a little worried about that but you made me feel so much better!! Drexel's application process was a large reason I wanted to apply. They really make it a point to choose the right applicants and that gives me a lot of hope because I'm a pretty non-traditional applicant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wen Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Janet sent me an email to update these courses on CASPA, medical Terminology and Genetics.. But I have been invited for an interview yet...am so anxious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADH92 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Wen, I'd say that's a good sign! If they weren't interested in you as an applicant, they wouldn't have asked for more information. This same exact thing happened to me last year and after I submitted the information, I got invited for an interview two weeks later! Good luck :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H.S.major Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 @raemrock6446 I interviewed on the 27th and got an early acceptance call from Janet later in the week. Hopefully you'll get some good news soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyPAin2017 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Hey All! Question about post-acceptance stuff. I saw that Drexel uses Certified Background for their criminal history checks and to collect documents such as immunization records, but also that they require fingerprints to be sent to the Dept of Public Welfare, which uses the FBI to run a background check. Does Drexel use both checks, or just one? It seems silly to run two checks for one program...Do we have to pay for both? Does anyone know? Thx!

Guest Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 You do fingerprints at any fingerprint location that is authorized by the web site. You just do one check. You don't pay for it if you are a student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWUViking1983 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 HeyPAin2017, where did you find this information? I spoke with Janet a few days ago, and she told me the info wouldn't be given out until after the class had been filled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyPAin2017 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Thanks Purplez!! So we only do the certified background? why are we fingerprinted then? Im just confuzed... at least we dont have to pay for it! :) WWUViking1983, I did a web search and found the info about drexel's process for accepted students...

Guest Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Certified background will give you instructions how to do fingerprints. Everything you need to do will be in tasks there. Fingerprints are to make sure you ain't a criminal ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyrical M Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Hi all, I plan to apply in the next cycle. I was wondering, do you think most Drexel applicants have more science classes beyond the prerequisites? I took Bio I and II, Chem I and II, a few psychs, Orgo with lab, Genetics (didn't have a lab), A&P I and II, and Microbiology. I will take med term soon. Fortunately, I have As in all of them, so I'm not sure if I'm better off leaving it at that, or if I should go into taking biochem, cell bio, pathophysiology, immunology, etc.--classes that are not prereqs anywhere, but could be "useful". On the one hand, it would probably delay my application, take away time from HCE (which I already don't have a huge amount of--but I'm starting an ER scribe job next week), and runs the risk that I'd get less than an A in one, lowering my GPA. On the other hand, if everyone else has these classes, then I could be at a disadvantage, and it might make PA school much more difficult if I do get in, without having that background knowledge. How did your, or other applicants', from what you could tell, science classes compare with the prereqs? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWUViking1983 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I would always recommend taking upper division classes, as it rounds out your knowledge base and teaches you how the basic sciences are applied to medicine. I wouldn't worry about one class dropping your GPA, as it sounds like you have plenty of book smarts. However, HCE and other experience outside of the classroom is invaluable. I don't think that taking a few extra classes would compromise you in this area, its just something to be mindful of. The goal is to find the balance between the classroom and the real world. :) PA schools value that above all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Yeah you should take maybe 1 class and work full time. You will need mad time management skills in PA school. I recommend pathophys above all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeb5369 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Any current students: do you know what the new students days involve at the beginning of the fall quarter. I saw it on the academic calendar and was curious what that involves and if it's required. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
