Congrats! I didn't know that people were applying before undergrad was done. That's even more applications than I thought they would be getting. I can see why a month turn around on decisions would be really tough.

Thank you! I also had my application in very very early- around July or August. Hopefully you should hear soon!

Hey all-

I just checked and mine got switched to "on hold" as well. They are probably waiting to see what the grades are for this semester. I'm taking 5 classes and 3 labs, so I'm sure they want to see how I do in the science classes.

My application was also put on hold. I completed all my prereqs except for anatomy (which is in progress now). I spoke with a drexel admissions rep who told me that anatomy and physiology grades are a big factor in their decision so that's why my application was put on hold

I am on hold also! I saw this at 430 this afternoon (friday). I put an email right to Evan but of course I probably won't hear back until Monday. Eeeek, makes me so nervous. I'm trying to think positive and at least they got to my application, if they didn't like what they saw they would of just denied me? Rightttt? LOL

Do you guys think this means we are technically wait listed with a slot saved for us pending our pre-req's grades?

Haha that's what I'm thinking! I guess it's better than getting rejected right? I think we won't hear a decision until December of January.

My application was also put on hold! When I called Evan at admissions to find out what that meant, they said it was because I showed "great promise" and wanted to see what my fall semester grades were like. I'm doing A&P 1 right now (registered for A&P 2 next semester) so it's a little frustrating to know that my entire decision is on hold because of one class! It sounds like there are a lot of us in this situation, doesn't it?

nicolef1 · Nov 3, 2014

Ugh same situation as you! A&P this semester, A&P2 next. I'll be on edge if I have to wait until December to find out (or later). I had emailed him Friday l, it'll be interesting what he says to me hopefully Monday, hope he says the same thing.

I feel like if they put you on hold they're impressed and just want to see your final grades to confirm! For those who are now on hold when did you submit? I'm hoping I hear this week!

chadczar · Nov 3, 2014

I just spoke with someone else in admission and they said I'm on hold because they need more information, which I figured(my fall semester prereq grades). Also, they said that this does not hold a space for us. Basically everyone that is on hold has to give their grades in after the semester is over, but if there are no spaces left we are out of luck.

Thanks for the info. I have no change in my status yet but still have to get A&P final grades too. It's fine really just gives us more of a chance to apply to more schools in the area as we get more classes done.
