Drexel Undergrad- Admission Decisions

<p>Folks: </p>

<p>any update on Drexel's U/G admission decions... Please post your updates here.. </p>

<p>Good Luck...</p>

<p>Mine says:</p>

<p>“Admission Decision:
Thank you for your application. Your file is currently complete and under review. A decision has not yet been made regarding your admission status to Drexel University. If additional materials are required before an admission decision can be rendered, we will contact you.”</p>

<p>Its said that for about 10 days now. All my things were in by 11/1. Last year decisions started coming out in early November (Nov. 2nd), but maybe the hurricane is pushing everything back. It doesn’t seem like anyone has gotten a decision yet.</p>

<p>Same with me, but it’s only been 2 days since my applications been complete lol. Does anyone know if people who applied with the VIP application hear faster?</p>

<p>Did you apply RD?</p>

<p>If you’re talking to me, yeah I did!</p>

<p>Yup !! mine is RD/ VIP . everything in by oct 28th… College of Engg.</p>

<p>Not sure when the decision would be out…</p>

<p>Haha they got everything November 12. When did people hear back last year?</p>

<p>Hey guys
If I apply for Drexel as a VIP applicant. I only need one essay right? Can I use my personal statement for that essay?</p>

<p>@pinksky yeah! I used the essay that I used on my common app.</p>

<p>I wonder if maybe this year they aren’t releasing any decisions until after the RD deadline for those who applied regular??</p>

<p>Anyone who applied EA got accepted yet?</p>

<p>Drexel had EA? I thought it was either ED or RD</p>

<p>I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but since Drexel has just added Early Decision this year, I fear that RD decisions may not come out until much later than in the past.</p>

<p>Notice here (from the Drexel Admissions website) that it says RD decisions will be out by March 28 - this wording is new this year. (As others have mentioned, in prior years, when there was no ED at Drexel, RD decisions would have started to come out several weeks ago):</p>

<p>[Early</a> Decision Admission Option | Undergraduate Admissions | Drexel University](<a href=“http://www.drexel.edu/undergrad/apply/freshmen-instructions/earlydecision/]Early”>http://www.drexel.edu/undergrad/apply/freshmen-instructions/earlydecision/)</p>

<p>I also noticed that their website didn’t mention ‘rolling admissions’ as in the previous years…sigh, more waiting for the anxious! x.x My Discover Drexel account also says ‘Thank you for you application etc…’ I guess it’s just a matter of waiting now</p>

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I haven’t heard back yet either. I applied a while ago, and had everything in on 11/7.</p>

<p>I applied for a Custom-Designed Major in their Honors college and a couple days after they got my full application, they emailed me asking for my major’s vision statement and study plan (which I already prepared beforehand). That got sent in 11/9.</p>

<p>So, as of now, it’s been a couple days shy of two weeks. I think I should be expecting a decision within the next 2 weeks, judging by the response times for last year’s applicants (2 to 5 weeks were common).</p>

<p>I submitted mine on 10/25 by the VIP app. Still waiting.</p>

<p>VIP Application for RD complete by late October for College of Engineering - still waiting too.</p>

<p>Please take a look at post #13.</p>

<p>I fear that if you applied Regular Decision, you may be waiting until March.</p>

<p>My D applied VIP as well, regular decision. No news yet!</p>

<p>I applied VIP, Early Decision. My application was complete around the first week of November; however I never received an e-mail stating it was complete, so I was freaking out for a while! But, I checked Portal sometime during that first week, and sure enough, it said my application was processing.</p>

<p>However, it’s been about a month since my application was processed and complete so now I’m playing the waiting game. Ugh!</p>
