Drexel University- CLass of 2018 (accepted/Rejected)

<p>Look under #drexel accepted</p>

<p>I’m kinda confused…is the b&e program a dual major or is engineering integrated in the business curriculum?</p>

I’m assuming you’re asking about Business & Engineering. It is a degree that is meant to give you background in both fields, to my understanding. In other words, you could put it two ways. You could see it as a degree that puts you in a business profession (where it’s often quite valuable to have background in Engineering), or as a degree that can put you on the track for Engineering (where it’s often quite valuable to have a background in business). As you wrote, it’s more on the side of Engineering integrated into the business curriculum. Generally, I think, the degree is meant for students who want to be in business careers, but want to have a relevant engineering background to supplement themselves (a great foresight to have). </p>

<p>thanks…why would you say engineering is important for business?..is it more math oriented ?</p>

<p>Anybody else think it was pretty cruel of them to send out an email titled “The Drexel Glimpse - Congratulations!” thinking they got accepted just to find out they’re still on the waitlist and it wasn’t about that…</p>

<p>@xbaileymarie‌ I got that email because I got an email from the department chair saying that I had been accepted. My portal status just changed the other day and packet is in the mail. </p>

<p>Accepted for Music Industry
A.J. Drexel scholarship- $23k</p>

<p>I got the drexel glimpse thing too -__- they sent an email yesterday asking if I would still like to be considered for admission for fall 2014 as they have a “limited” number of seats available</p>

<p>what were your stats?</p>

@SurvivorFan I’m a National Merit Finalist this year 2015. Did you decide on Drexel?

Accepted, Transfer, 2nd bachelor’s Degree into Mechanical Engineering 3-5 Co Op.

Engineering Coursework: Completed about 30 credits. Highest math completed: Differential Equations. Lowest grades were Engineering Statistics that I made a C in (but had a professor recommendation for) and a D in Differential Equations but retook and made a B easy in (legitimately couldn’t understand the first professor). Everything else were A’s and B’s.

I have been granted about 2-3 full quarters of credits. Only intend to contest an English course, besides that I thought the credit evaluation was VERY fair.

Offered ~$8,000 year in aide.

Super excited to be accepted!

Are the decisions of Regular Applicants out as well? I did not get my decision yet… :confused:

When did you complete your application? From what I understand regular decision gets notified before April 1st on a rolling basis as well.

@MechanicalFox‌ Most of my application was completed by December…But the university received my A level results first week of January…so yeah…first week of January…

Ah okay. I had mine completed in December as well, but then they needed a community college transcript for one class. That didn’t get in until end of January for me. From what I understand they don’t consider anything until its all in freshman or transfer. It took me about a month and a half until a decision was made. If you are a freshman applicant, I would imagine it takes longer to analyze the high schools coursework, standardized tests, and extracurriculars. Its a lot more competitive/selective process. If you are a transfer, I got the vibe it is very heavily based on what courses you have already taken and current grades, so less to analyze. But at the same time, most schools prioritize freshmen into their programs so it could be flipped. Rolling admissions is always a tricky devil.

It never hurts to call them. If you are a freshman applicant I would say you’d hear back within 2 weeks. If you are a transfer, any day now. They are very friendly and understanding, by far one of the best admissions departments I have had to deal with, and I have applied to 18 schools this year. Good luck!

Thank you very much. I am a freshman… :smiley:
