hey pam!

i would get your stuff in as soon as you can. i know that for all the review periods everyone has an equal chance. so those that handed it in on the first day of the second review period have the same chance as those that handed their stuff in on the last day of the second review period. i wouldn't worry about it and just get everything in before the deadline : )

omg, I wish I'd found this site BEFORE I applied! oh well, I just found out that I have an interview this week! I'm happy for everyone that's heard and good luck to those waiting. Now I get to be nervous about a new thing!

Is anyone else worried about going into the city for the interview? I don't know if I should take the train or drive. Part of me wants to get there at 5am just so I won't get caught off guard by a late train or the traffic. Or am I just being paranoid?

Congrats, Susan!! What time is your interview? If you want to get there really early for comfort of mind, just take an earlier train or drive into Philly at an earlier hour. Good luck!! :)

hi everyone!

i have an interview next week and Sgal you're right it's just a new thing to be worried about but also to be very excited about! good luck at your interview and don't worry about getting into the city you should be just fine. does anyone know if they let you know if you're accepted at the end of the interview of it we have to actually wait until november 15! wow i can't believe that is almost here already though : )

Well if you find out whether or not you're getting in at the end of the interview, then I'm definitely not driving! I guess I'll take Amtrak. Has anyone had any problems with Amtrak getting to the city?

gococonuts · Oct 28, 2009

yea i was just wondering i don't know if they do or not : ) i personally have never had any problems with amtrak but you never know with public transportation! is your interview tomorrow?

lindo2789 · Oct 29, 2009

I'm taking Amtrak and my interview is tomorrow! It's going to be an early day...I also found out today that I have been accepted into Drexel's ACE program already.

gococonuts · Oct 29, 2009

congrats!! by any chance do you mind me asking when you got your letter saying that they had all of your materials? i am wondering how long it will take until i hear because i applied there as well. also good luck with your interview! : )

lindo2789 · Oct 29, 2009

Hmmm...Drexel I know they were making decisions in late October, early November. Did you get that email that shows you the status of your application? They posted my acceptance on there before I even got the snail mail letter. The snail mail letter came today. As for the materials, I think they said they received all my materials in late September. I know I turned in FACT before I turned in ACE.

Drexel doesn't even look at any applications until AFTER October 16th. They've only just started sending out acceptances I think.

gococonuts · Oct 29, 2009

hmm so they do it all by e-mail? the only thing i got was an actual letter in the mail saying my application was complete and it gave me an id number. is there a way to check the status or anything? thanks!

Do you mind me asking what your gpa was for undergrad? I applied for Drexel Ace and will apply for FACT 2011 and am wondering if my GPA is going to be competitive enough.

lindo2789 · Oct 29, 2009

My Undergrad GPA was 3.86.

As for Drexel, you should have gotten an email that has what your application ID was and you can constantly check the status on the drexel website. It's a link in the email. But not to worry they also send a letter via snail mail.
