<p>I just got my first interview for a med program today. I applied to both Drexel and Lehigh for the program & got an acceptance a while ago for Drexel Undergrad + scholarship.</p>
<p>Today I got an email from Lehigh looking like this: </p>
<p>"Dear Applicant to the Lehigh University/Drexel College of Medicine Bachelors MD program:</p>
<p>If you are receiving this message, your file has been reviewed by Drexel University College of Medicine. Thank you for your interest in the joint educational program that Drexel University College of Medicine conducts with Lehigh University. On behalf of the Medical Student Admissions Committee of the College of Medicine, I am pleased to inform you that you have been invited for an interview with a member of our faculty. </p>
<p>Your scheduled date to interview is Saturday, February 17, 2007."</p>
<p>Anyone else get an interview from Lehigh/Drexel/Villanova/other affiliates? We can discuss here.</p>
<p>whoa, darth...we are freakishly alike...I applied to lehigh and drexel programs and got accepted to drexel a while back and today I got the same email and it's my first med prog interview! weird huh?</p>
<p>and mine is also on the 17</p>
<p>but does this mean we're also being considered for the drexel/drexel prog as well?</p>
<p>Each college that works with Drexel Med sends out its own invitations for interviews. Getting invited to one doesn't mean that you will or won't be invited to others. For that matter, you can be accepted to more than one combination program associated with Drexel Med.</p>
<p>and uhh, i'm a dean's scholar at drexel which is 17500 + honors college...if you wanna know scholarships...but i dun think they have anything to do with med school admissions</p>
<p>Yeah, scholarship is just for regular undergrad at Drexel. I think I have the same thing, except it's called the AJ Drexel scholarship and somewhere around $17k.</p>
<p>Sohni, what a coincidence....lol</p>
<p>Anyway, I'm still confused about the whole Drexel/Drexel thing now. I know you can get accepted to more than one undergrad program, but it's just one interview with Drexel College of Medicine for all the affiliated programs, correct? So now that I have an interview, I don't need to hear from Drexel/Drexel to know I'll be considered for that combination also? Sorry that came out uber confusing...I hope somebody understands.</p>
<p>agreed w/Aspen....i got multiple emails from lehigh, villanova, and drexel giving me the exact same info....i'm guessing if you get invited from one college, you'll probably get invited by the others....if you do happen to get in to DUCOM, then you can pick n choose i believe</p>
<p>but didn't tofu and aspen apply/get the interview via villanova n their interviews are on the 3rd of Feb, whereas darth and I got the interview thru lehigh and our interviews are on the 17th...so they (COM) seem to be making some sort of distinction btw the undergrads right?</p>
