Congrats!!!! What were your stats if you don't mind sharing

Thank you! Take this with a grain of salt because I really do believe schools look at applicants holistically (fr have had my share of rejections and radio-silence), but since ik I loved to read others' stats too throughout the process:

GPA: cGPA- 3.92, BCP GPA- 3.91, sGPA-3.88

PCE: Total- ~2700 (PT aide, back office MA, medical scribe)

HCE: ~600 between front office MA, medical chart auditor, and athletic training intern

Shadowing: 100 virtual, 0 in-person 💔

Drexel said received 5/17 (same day as verification), in their portal it says received 6/27 so I'm confused. No idea what the holdup would have been, no requests for clarification or anything. I thought I would have heard from them by now, I've already interviewed at other schools and received acceptances so not like it's been radio silence for me this entire time--anyone else?

Also, for anyone who has interviewed already, how did the program seem? Any insight? I know it's highly ranked, but it has interesting attrition rates. I'm wondering what sets it apart from Jefferson CC and Temple assuming a lot of Philly people applied to those three.

Have you already heard from Jefferson CC?

Noooo lol I see how it sounds like I did--edited. I don't know what their timeline is, but Temple starts inviting in September. Assuming Jefferson is similar with probably an even bigger pool of applicants.

Jefferson verified 5/17 (same day as CASPA), received supplemental 6/5, Jefferson said verified and complete 6/18. Haven't heard anything since then. Based off last year's thread, it looks like people started hearing back late August--lots of September interviews and acceptances.

Wait, is there a portal for Drexel to check our application status?

Yeah lol I don’t remember making the portal since they didn’t have a secondary but it definitely shows my application for their PA program there.

I'm so confused...a portal is never mentioned in any emails or on Drexel's website...how did you figure out you had one and how do you get there?

So I applied last year (rejected lol) and they emailed me saying my decision was uploaded to this "Discover Drexel" admissions platform, and they included a link to the site and instructions on creating/resetting my account. I don't know how it would work if you're a first time applicant trying to log into the portal without this email, but when I check my old email the link to login is: https://admissions.drexel.edu/apply/

I just checked for my app this year and it says: "Thank you for your application. Your file is currently complete and under review. A decision has not yet been made on your application to Drexel University. If additional materials are required before an admission decision can be rendered, we will contact you."

Hope this helps!

Thank you so much!

And yeah, I don't think they ever sent information about this to first time applicants, but this helps a lot!
