Official Class of 2014 Drexel Decisions Thread

<p>Anyone doing the BA/MD program?</p>

<p>I’ll most likely go to Drexel only if I’m offered guaranteed acceptance into their medical school. That’s a peace of mind for the next four years of my life, haha.</p>

**General Comments: I’m happy I got in! :slight_smile: **</p>

<p>I was accepted into Bis/engineering
Honors College and a nice scholarship</p>

<p>As I understand it, the honors college dorms are brand new. Is anyone thinking about living in them? Does anyone know if drexel is a commuter campus? I am worried that coming from Louisiana that it will suck if everyone goes home on the weekends.</p>

<p>ACT=31C Math=34 Science=35</p>

<p>It is commuter because everyone lives in apartments close by, thats what I heard.</p>

<p>well thats not really what im worried about. I dont care if it is technically classified as a commuter school or not, but if the entire student body goes home(farther than just the apartments they live in) it won’t be a very fun experience.</p>

<p>It certainly isn’t the case that everyone goes home on the weekends. Do some students choose to do so? Yes. Is it the majority? Not that I know of. There are usually plenty of students around. We also have a lot of international students and those that come from across the US, so obviously they are not going home all the time. Over breaks there are significantly less students on campus, but I assume that is the case wherever you go to college.</p>

General Comments: Extremely disappointed. Not to sound ungrateful, but it was a safety and I had originally picked Music Business as a major. Waited 4 months later to find out I got in, but took them 3 months to tell me to switch majors/their MB program -just- became exclusive. If I had known I would have sent in a full and better application! GRR.</p>
