I don’t want to hinder my chances by emailing, but I just want to know where I stand! I probably hindered my chances because I sent an email asking about an update LOL. I feel bad now but I was just too anxious. I wrote to them about two weeks ago and they ended up not even replying. Understandable though considering they probably receive hundreds, if not thousands, of emails/notifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy918 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 hey guys, just had a general question about virtual interview etiquette.. What are your thoughts on taking notes during the Q&A portions? I'm worried that having a notebook by my laptop and writing notes might look like I'm on my phone.. wanted to know if anyone had any tips or experiences? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gratefulguy Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 @Amy918 Good question. I took notes, but used my down time between sessions to get the information I needed from the website. You'll need to take notes during atleast one session. For my actual interview I asked permission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was accepted so I guess it didn't look bad lol? I personally don't see it as a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kzwija2 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Hi! I have an interview with Drexel on 9/27. Congrats on everyone's acceptances and I hope it's not too late for mine! I wanted to ask if anyone had any tips for the interview, specifically how to prepare for the writing portion? I am also from Chicago if anyone could let me know how they feel about Philly Thanks guys! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayerns1 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Received an email acceptance today!! I interviewed on August 26th. For those with interviews coming up, try your best to relax, it was definitely a less stressful interview process than what you think it’s gonna be! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gratefulguy Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 @kzwija2 the best advice I can think of is to prep with online interview questions. They didn't ask me anything I hadn't seen online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PL889 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Accepted from the 8/26 interview!! I was wondering if anyone had any updates on the clinical rotations, in regards to the closure of Hahnemann University Hospital and how that has affected students. I haven't been able to find anything on the forums (aside from one titled "Clinical Sites" that was started by user Guest RDtwoPA), but if someone could send a link with any additional information or knowledge of their own, that would be extremely helpful. Thanks and good luck all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got confirmation about a week after you and also haven't heard anything.. I think they just haven't gotten to applications submitted around mid-June yet, so in this case no news is maybe good news?

jerry31620 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I just got an interview invite this morning for 9/27! I didn't think I would get one since I applied in early June, but like a lot of people have said, if you haven't received a rejection then you're still in the running. Timeline: CASPA verified: 6/14 Drexel confirmation: 6/22 Interview invite: 9/20 (about 13 weeks after confirmation email) Interview: 9/27 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachaelim07 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Last year when I applied to Drexel for the first time along with many other schools, Drexel was the first school to reject me on 7/20/2020. After almost tripling my PCE hours, I applied to this program again on 6/11 of this year. And today (9/20) I received an invitation for 9/27 interview. So excited and honored to be invited for the interview. Finally, it's time to prepare for the big day! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachaelim07 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I went through this cycle's posts and counted all the interview dates so far. It was total of 9 interviews. (6/21, 6/30, 7/12, 7/16, 8/4, 8/9, 8/17, 8/26 and 9/27). Somebody mentioned that Drexel will continue to interview students up until Thanksgiving. I have no idea how many people are accepted so far.
