Cbrutts Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Just curious, has anyone that received an interview still have outstanding prereqs? If so, how many? I feel that this is why I have not heard from them yet as I have a good GPA and 20,000+ hours of HCE. I also have good LOR's and thought my PS was good. Thanks!

Back in May, they asked me to take Zoology w/ lab this fall because my school only offered 1 lab for general bio 1&2 (7 credits). My other labs didn't count for what they wanted. I interviewed on Aug 18th and am currently in Zoology. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kindle123 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Any idea how many interviews does Drexel carry each month? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious_Ignoramus Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 My interview group was told: 2400 applications, ~300ish interviews, 70-75 seats. Looks like 20-25 interview per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmw8820 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 "Students must not receive a grade lower than a "B-" in any single prerequisite course" Does this mean if a student received a C in Bio 101, their application will be not reviewed? Even if they have received better grades in advance bio courses? Thanks Where did you find this? Everything I've seen so far on their website does not list an actual minimum grade, but I did find a pdf that has the admission requirements that states a C or better, but then on the actual CASPA app it states a B or better. Just wondering if you ever got actual confirmation directly from admissions. I was afraid to ask because it is the type of information typically found on line but what I have found seems conflicting.

It's right under the prereq section in admissions. Advance courses in biology and chemistry as in cell bio and organic chemistry may be able to replace a grade of say "C" in general bio 1, as stated by someone from the program.

Kindle123 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 It's been more than 2 months since Drexel received my application,I havent heard anything at all. My Caspa GPA is a 4.0, the only pre-req outstanding is Genetics. More than 2000 hours of clinical experience. Considering how long it's been now should I give up the hope that I'll hear anything at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how long it's been now should I give up the hope that I'll hear anything at all? Not at all! I submitted my CASPA in June of last year, and didn't hear back until late October for an interview invite! They have almost 2400 applications this year, so patience is key. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAX31 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Just a quick question...I interviewed on Aug 14, and I still have not heard anything. Is that a bad sign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disciple3 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Probably just being held until all interviews are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sashka93 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Just a quick question...I interviewed on Aug 14, and I still have not heard anything. Is that a bad sign? not necessarily. during my interview i talked to a current student who was accepted within 2 weeks (early acceptance) whereas her husband/fiance, who also interviewed the same day as her, was accepted 4 months after the interview day. so there's always hope...dont lose hope!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disciple3 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Well obviously you didn't get any early acceptance. So that leaves either being held for later or they haven't sent out rejection emails yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
