D19 applied EA to Drexel. Has not heard back about admission but received an e-mail today that she is invited to apply to the Honors Program. Does that mean that she has been admitted but we have not heard about it yet? Or that all of the admissions are still up in the air and decision will be made later? We’re having trouble investigating more because it looks like their portal may have been down for a few days?

I’m in this same boat right now, cant open my portal.
Same situation for me ^^^
Does not mean you are admitted. EA isn’t until some time in December. If I remember correctly you have Essay/Short Answers for Honor College application.
@Dolemite yes, but why would they consider someone for the honors college and not admit them?
Either they invite all applicants to apply for the Honors College or they target specific applicants based on some threshold of GPA/Standardized Test scores either way Early Admission decisions don’t go out until December.
@Dolemite I don’t think it is based off the GPA/Standardized test scores because I also received an invitation to apply to the honors college and my stats aren’t the best per se.
I got it too, portal is open now and my app is still under review. it may just be a chain email they send to certain students.
The deadline to apply for ED students is 11/15 so it probably went out to ED students.
I’m not an ED student…what I was trying to say was even though I wasn’t officially accepted, I basically was because why would they send out that offer if they weren’t going to admit me?
I think they sent it to everyone who applied early ? idk
D got the email too, I would assume at this stage that it is a generic email.
I feel as if this is a generic email that is sent to everyone, because even before I received the email to apply to the honors program, I was able to access and submit the honors application.
When they look at your application, they see your credentials and then see if they believe that you’ll be good fit for the honors program. If she was invited, she most likely got in but it wont be official until December (why they consider her for honors if she couldnt get into the real college?) I have friends who have applied and didn’t get the honors email while others (myself included) did. Anyone can access the honors application from the portal but it doesn’t mean they’ll get into it. If you’re invited, you have a better chance at getting into the honors program.
