<p>I'm just curious if anyone knows why Drexel would be sending me a VIP app....im only a Junior. It says on it I'm "specially selected"...yeah right. </p>
<p>Anyway, I've gotten like an email every day from them and today in the mail just got the actual app and it says apply by March 2009. . . . </p>
<p>Do they think I'm a senior?</p>
<p>its probably because you have taken the SATs and given collegeboard your email? I remember as a junior (currently a senior), after I took the SATs I got plently of email everyday from schools giving me information. As for VIP application - if you exceed their standards you might get one some time. I've gotten the VIP application in the mail and email. gluck</p>
<p>As far as I know, everyone gets a VIP app. Sorry, you're not actually a "VIP". I believe its a great little marketing ploy they put together to try to boost the number of students that apply. I think they started the VIP application last year and so far I think its worked pretty well.</p>
<p>My guess is they target students based on location and other demographics. I also don't think that collegeboard is allowed to release your scores (or other information which is why they may think you are a senior) so they have no way to know on how you did on your tests until you send your scores in officially.</p>
<p>I'm sure that there are some that initially think if a college doesn't have an application fee it must not be a good college somehow... however thats not the case. Drexel's just growing very fast and every year the incoming classes have higher gpa's and test scores.</p>
<p>If you got a VIP app, I encourage you to seriously look into Drexel, since at the very least there is no explicit cost with applying if the fee is waived, right?</p>
<p>Yeah Zack, I know I'm not a vip. Hahaha. And yeah I agree it's a great tool to get people to apply. </p>
<p>After reading on here about how Drexel is getting better and stuff, I'm actually sort of interested now. Thanks for all your help.</p>
<p>yo buzz i applied 2 Drexel VIP and i got myn in the mail the summer going into senior year. They sent me various emails, as well as other things in the mail during junior year. Once i joined their mailing list they started sending me even more. Do u think YOU are apart of their mailing list? Hope that helps.</p>
