Mmm, I'm getting nervous...can those that got accepted post their stats for reference?

There's another thread doing that called attn: Drexel ACE 2011 I think.

I had an undergrad GPA of 3.4, and about a 3.6 in pre-reqs.

Congrats to everyone that got accepted so far! I'm so nervous today after reading this thread; I have been refreshing the Drexel Application Status page all day x.x

Hey, my status changed, now reads, "Your application is currently on hold and may reflect the need for additional documentation." I spoke to Fran and she told me that a decision will not be made until I send my Fall 2010 grades! I'm currently taking Abnormal Psy, Nutrition, and A&P II. I withdrew from Chemistry and will be taking that in the Spring, along with Micro. I guess I have too many classes left for them to make a decision. I applied in July, have an acc. gpa 3.04 and pre-req 3.8. Did anyone else run into the same thing?? I hope this doesn't screw my chances and I hope withdrawing from Chemistry doesn't hurt me. Any thoughts?

I would think this would be because you are missing some key prereqs - Anatomy and physiology, micro, chem - those are the ones that would bring most applicant's prereq GPA down (not that you won't do good in them!) I don't know why else they would do that because your prereq GPA is great. Do they know you withdrew from chem? That could also be why they are holding your app

I'm missing sociology, developmental psych, and micro - mine still says under review, but I'll let you know if it changes. I do have a psych minor and did really well in all my psych courses (including social psych) so maybe they will consider that - not substitute, but maybe realize I have done well in classes similar to the ones I'm missing. However, I don't think they will put a hold on mine, if anything, they would probably just deny me, because I'm taking my missing prereqs in the spring, not the fall. My company will pay for them then

I have an interview at Desales December 11th - I made it for the last weekend available because I am hoping to hear from Drexel before then (I don't live near phili)

For those of you who have been accepted..Do you have to reply by a certain date to reserve your spot? Is there a deposit? If so, how much is it?

Thanks!

The deposit is $500, non-refundable. None of the information I received stated a deadline to return the form/payment, but I thought I heard somewhere it was 4 weeks.

Congrats to the new acceptances. :)

I have no idea how long they want before you respond and send in your deposit. I'm still not sure I want to go to Drexel because it's so expensive and I would have to give up my full-time job. I've also been accepted to La Salle's evening program so I might do that depending on costs.

I also got accepted! :) Just checked the drexel portal. They must have posted sometime this afternoon

for those who asked about stats:

I have a BS in Kinesiology from Penn State University (University Park) with a 3.3 overall GPA. My prereq GPA was also around a 3.2-3.3.
