Do you remember roughly when you got the interview invite?

Ah I might not be the best person to ask about this since I actually submitted my app to the program at the beginning of August (a month before their apps close) and I got the interview invite in January after I added another letter of rec and an additional 800ish PCE hours

Just sent in my application today 6/18. I was already verified so I'm hoping for a confirmation email on Monday! I'm a bit late to applying as I was a bit hesitant—I'm not sure if my stats are super competitive for Drexel. Can anyone give me some insight on whether I stand a decent chance at an interview? I'm mostly worried about my PCE, I would appreciate any feedback 🙂

cGPA: 3.88    sGPA: 3.91

PCE: 1800 hours as a CNA (450 in skilled rehab unit, 1350 in long term memory care)

Volunteering: 120 hours (70 as a volunteer at a cancer hospital, 50 through a service learning trip to Tennessee related to learning about and preserving Native American culture)

  *I also was a volunteer peer mentor for organic chemistry students and fundraised for my school's dance marathon, but I listed these as leadership/extracurriculars so I'm not sure if they will count them as volunteer hours*

Shadowing: 40 hours (one cardio surgery PA)

Leadership: 300 hours as a student manager at my previous dining services job on campus 

Teaching: 250 hours as a biology TA "helper"; I was basically a TA and taught my own lab section, but I was designated as a helper since I was not a grad student or GTA (I explained this in my description)

Hi everyone,

Congrats to those who already received interview invites!

I went through last years thread to see when people got interview invites. Looks like Drexel sent out invites from 6/02 to 1/24. Seems that they sent invites consistently each month throughout the application cycle except for November and December (at least no one posted about it). Hope this helps with the timeline for everyone!

Hi! What do you mean “added” 800 hours?Was your CASPA already submitted and verified and you were able to go in and edit things? If so, were you able to pick which schools you sent the updates to? Because I know for example, GA doesn’t want people sending any updates
