Gratefulguy Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 @prepagal17 I'd say email them if you didn't get the confirmation email, but check your spam or trash. I think I put a copy of the one they sent me on this chat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kawa257 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Also received an interview offer for August 4th! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gratefulguy Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 @prepagal17 you could but they seem to be making their way through. If it's like another school I applied to, the apps are reviewed by different members of the program so move at their own pace and then notifications are handled by someone totally different. Did you confirm that you did everything in The email? Maybe if you have something to add and that's listed I in the email it would be ok?

Matilda Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Has anyone heard back from 6/21 interview? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeegirl Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I interviewed on 6/30 and haven’t gotten a decision yet. I think they might be still sending them out because they said it can take as long as Thanksgiving when they’re done interviewing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayNOtoNP Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) Hello everybody, does anyone want to collaborate for the August 4th interview? Edited July 13, 2021 by sayNOtoNP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gratefulguy Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 @sayNOtoNP Hi, I guess we could do mock interviews. I did that with a friend and it helped me feel a bit more confident. We can focus on general stuff so that it's above board... That sound ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uhakimi Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Does anybody know Drexels attrition rate? I keep on hearing that the Anatomy class is extremely hard and a lot of people fail and wanted to see if someone knew anything about it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhodeislander4 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Hey guys! I was notified by email that I was accepted on 7/12! Here’s all my info: Submitted application 5/7, verified 5/10. Drexel received 5/10. Invited for an interview on 6/2, had the interview 6/21. Stats: GPA 3.73, science 3.62. Direct patient care hours ~2500, 20 hours shadowing, ~130 volunteer hours. I worked as an EMT but had prior experience as a personal care attendant, was a TA in anatomy labs during my under grad and volunteered at a local hospital as well as a free clinic. As far as the interview day goes, I prepped answers to common questions and practiced verbally answering them. Be sure to look up history and current events surrounding the profession to better prepare you for the writing sample I think that helped me. Hope all this helps!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
