Really happy I got into Drexel despite my decline in grades my Junior Year.

Hi! Has anyone not yet received decision? My S applied EA and status says currently under review, in application and Honors Program

That happened to my D. I called and they said they did’t get SAT scores in time and moved her to the RD pool. CB had said they sent the scores then none of the schools she had applied to could find them. They finally resent but it was too late.

Thanks @AnxietyAttack77 ! We will have to wait until January 4 to call. Good luck to your D!
