Drexel University ACE Spring 2011

I'm still waiting to hear a decision, I applied in March and I already sent them an updated spring transcript as requested. Check Discover frequently and no change of status.
Is anyone else in the same boat?

I am in the same boat! Last I heard from Tina was that my file was complete and she gave it to her boss for the Committee to review on June 18th. STILL NO WORD! ugh.

I applied for the fall as well and was told it was full and to apply for the spring. I applied for the spring and was sent a letter stating that they needed my final spring transcripts. I waited for a couple of weeks and still had the same hold on the discover website so I contacted the school and they said they had everything. After I knew that I contacted Tina and she said she would inform the committee and remove the hold. That day I logged on to see if it was removed and it said I was accepted.. So if in doubt just make sure the school has everything if they do contact whoever is in charge of your application... Hope that helps..

In my case, Discover indicated that there was a hold and it was due to needing a spring transcript. Sent that in and the hold disappeared, went back to stating that a decision has not yet been made. Been like that for a month. My app is for Spring 2011. The wait continues ... :anbd:

I emailed Tina again today. She said the Committee meets once a month to review apps. And that it could take 4-6 weeks. I'm going on a month- So hopefully we here something in the next few weeks!!!!!!!!

I'm going to have to assume that our files are complete and just waiting for the next meeting?? Thanks for the heads up, I was wondering why there was a delay. Now I understand. Perhaps files are placed and submitted in the order they are completed? And perhaps there were other files ahead of ours and we did not make the agenda in June ...

Just trying to create a reasonable explanation in my head ...

I went back to the website to review the list of prereqs and it looks like right now all I have left to take is Ethics :yeah: which I am taking this fall ... I completed everything else either in my first bachelors or just within the past year. I am glad to see they changed the wording of that requirement with computer science (had communications next to it), as I took a computer science class my sophomore year. That should work. Also, I took a discipline-based stats course (psych), I wonder if that will be OK.

Does anyone know if there are time limits for prereqs?

[uPDATE]: Answered my own question: A&P and micro needs to be within last 5 years, all others don't seem to have a limit.

... so the wait continues ... :anbd:

Is anyone going to the information session on Tuesday? I cant decide if it is worth it to go

I went last month and found it very informative. They also give you a tour of the facilities which were impressive.

I say it's worth the trip!

thanks... I went today and was very impressed. I'm excited for spring now.

Your welcome. Glad to hear you ended up going. I too became very excited about starting in the spring after attending an info session.

See you in 8 months

I have also been accepted into Drexel's spring program. And recently submitted my deposit...I'm in! Excited and scared at the same time! I look forward to meeting you all and spending endless nights studying together.
