So, how many of you guys got the Drexel Global Scholarship already?
ED applicants did
@muu2000 Are you on the Drexel groupme chat? And also when do the Global Scholars notification come out for RD?
Yeah I am, the DGS decisions probably come with your RD decisions.
Does getting an email telling me that the drexel admissions office thinks that i shld apply to the honors program ensure that i am going to get admitted
@Fejiro no, everyone receives that email.
awww. now I feel sad
Thanks anyway
There is no secret formula to knowing your admission status. Different departments are responsible for different tasks, so you might be receiving many more of such emails but keep in mind that the departments sending them having nothing to do with the admissions committee.
Does anyone know if Drexel needs a mid year report showing 1st & 2nd quarter grades? My application shows complete, but I didn’t know if they still would be expecting that to be sent in?
Have regular decisions come out yet?
No
RDs are not out yet.
hey I am an international and today I got a mail (yes air mail) about why should I apply eventho I have already applied as RD. Isnt this weird?
@iambibliophile my D had a similar situation, but a different university. She kept getting emails encouraging her to apply, after she already applied. I contacted the school, and it turns out they had her listed twice. They apologized, and later that same day she received her acceptance. maybe contact Drexel and ask them why you are receiving recruitment mail when you already submitted your application…
oh thank you for reply! not an concerning situation of course but I was suprised
We toured the school on Monday. I have a simple question about adding a minor. If a major requires course:
A, B,C,D, E,F and G and the student complete all of them…
and the minor requires A,B,C, X and Y Does a student need to simply complete courses X and Y to earn the minor?
Thanks
@JerseyParents i believe that at some point prior to their senior year,they have to file some sort of application/declaration for their degree(s). Students should be meeting with their adviser to discuss their plan of courses to make sure they are on track to earn a degree. Not all courses are offered all terms, planning can be critical. My D is a sophomore and she says she plans a lot on her own, but needs approval for some courses (shes looking to do BS/MS which requires some extra approvals).
@JerseyParents If understand your question correctly, yes some class can count both towards the major and the minor. My D is a junior and is just finishing her minor. She chose to study aboard for the summer quarter and those credits counted toward her minor. Her experience with advising has been top notch. (better than her sister who attends a small LAC–go figure). The first year she sat with her advisor to select and register for classes. Summer of second year she was at home when her registration time came. Her and a few friend from her major mapped out their classes before hand and went on video chat while registering. The whole process took about 5 minutes. They do great job of moving kids thru the program. Educating them on the requirement and the progression of classes. She’s never been “locked out” of registering for class. (knock on wood)
When do decisions come out?
