I’ll be surprised if you don’t get in! I applied to Drexel and WPI as well. Did you hear from WPI? I was deferred on the basis of aid.

You’ll get in. As an international student, the hard part will be finding the financial resources to keep your costs at $25k per year. Drexel draws a significant number of high achieving international students, so you are up against some very tough international completion for merit money.
