Everybody who interview that day and the current and past DPMS studentsAre the Q/A sessions 1:1 between you and the group of DPMS students or is it a group of everyone who is interviewing that day?

Gahh this made me anxious. 😭 I remember the directions said to just list your most current experience, so that’s what I did. I assumed they would use the cv in the application as your “work and activities”. Did I mess up? :,,(I did it similar to the AMCAS activities sections, I included all experiences whether they were extra-curricular, volunteer, or paid
Nope. Is there a reason you need someone to call on your behalf?Did anyone who got an II have anyone call on their behalf prior ?
Unfortunately, no. Once an item is marked complete in the portal you have to send an email to enroll@drexel to get them to update the item for you.Is there a way to view the documents you submitted on the portal after you are complete?
So I did the same thing at first because I was following the directions as you did. But then I thought that this may have been targeted towards people without real “professional” work experience so I copied my AMCAS activities into a Word document and added is a page before my resume and then sent it to enroll@drexel for them to update my resume.Gahh this made me anxious. 😭 I remember the directions said to just list your most current experience, so that’s what I did.

Thank you so much for sharing this! I did the same thing where I only listed my most recent work experience and then attached my beefy CV because that’s what I assumed we should do?So I did the same thing at first because I was following the directions as you did.

If your CV/resume included your work activities, I think you should be in good shape. I only listed professional experience in the list section and added my activities to my CV and I received a II.
I did the same!Gahh this made me anxious. 😭 I remember the directions said to just list your most current experience, so that’s what I did. I assumed they would use the cv in the application as your “work and activities”. Did I mess up? :,,(

You will likely need to PM someone for that kind of info. Most folks won’t be comfortable sharing that information on a public forum and risk doxxing themselves. While the chances are low that adcoms and interviewers read these forums, it’s not zero.How were interviews yesterday? And if you wouldn't mind telling us who your interviewer was if can you remember!
Oops I had no idea! Thank you so much!!You will likely need to PM someone for that kind of info. Most folks won’t be comfortable sharing that information on a public forum and risk doxxing themselves. While the chances are low that adcoms and interviewers read these forums, it’s not zero.
This is just an educated guess but they offered 4 interview dates for the month of April and they said they would continue interviewing until the end of May so I would assume maybe every 2 weeks? They also said they interview up to 150 applicants for ~60 seats.How often do you guys think each wave of II is?
So far they have offered at least five dates in April and one in May… April 15, 17, 22, 24, and 29; and, May 1st.This is just an educated guess but they offered 4 interview dates for the month of April and they said they would continue interviewing until the end of May so I would assume maybe every 2 weeks?

I emailed them and they said “Interview invitations for the DPMS program will continue to be sent throughout April and early May. Decisions are expected to be issued starting in the second or third week of May. “So far they have offered at least five dates in April and one in May… April 15, 17, 22, 24, and 29; and, May 1st.
Not pulling at the logic, just adding to available information.
Seems like maybe they interview on Mondays and Wednesday? If so, it’s likely they might also interview on May 6, 8, 13, 15, 20, 22, 27 and 29.
No I have not! But I was marked complete for my application a few days ago!has anyone who submitted on the deadline date last week been given a ii yet?
I submitted the minimum of 3 required lettersHow many letters of rec did yall submit?
Thank you all for soothing my CV anxiety 🥲I did the same thing don’t worry. I did my current experience and had my regular resume that I use for everything. I feel like it doesn’t matter which way you do it since I got an interveiw.
I submitted 4How many letters of rec did yall submit?
I really hope they can get back to us as soon as possible. It’s giving me anxiety thinking that I might need to move across the country in as little as a month.
NopeAnyone hear anything from them today?
Thank you for this! Do you know when we get the zoom link. My day is tomorrow and haven't received it yetHi everyone, just wanted to give insight on how the interview day went.
When you first log on, you'll be greeted by the host and you will do quick introductions with the other interviewees. While that's going on, the host will put you in a break out room to quickly verify your ID. After that, we went into a three hour long space where each interviewee would be put into a separate break out room for their 30 minute interview. For the other 2.5 hours where you're not being interviewed, you're free to do whatever and turn your camera off - just remember to be back for your interview and return for the afternoon session!
The first part of the afternoon session was meeting with DPMS admin where they briefly go over DPMS; we then went into a Q&A session. After this session, you are put into a separate break out room with current students where you do an informal Q&A and you are allowed to ask whatever questions you would like.
Overall, it was a chill day. The host was very kind and upbeat, really put me at ease. The interview is what you would expect. My interviewer asked me the common medical school interview questions, no curve balls or trick questions.
They said they will be interviewing throughout the month of May and hope to send the first round of offers in the second or third week of May (but hoping it's even sooner LOL)
You will get it sometime today. If you don’t have it by 3:00PM, you can reach out to Coordinator Johnson. They are just busy…a lot of moving pieces.Thank you for this! Do you know when we get the zoom link. My day is tomorrow and haven't received it yet
This is a good summation. I would only add a couple of things…Hi everyone, just wanted to give insight on how the interview day went.

My thoughts exactlyThe radio silence is crazy
Very…The radio silence is crazy
Same, my brain is trying to cope but my heart is like nope lolI am begging you drexel, please
I can't afford to lose any more strands of hair
This. I'm on a WL somewhere else...the first couple of weeks of May are going to be brutal.Same, my brain is trying to cope but my heart is like nope lol
Good luck!!! Hopefully, it will all work out!!!This. I'm on a WL somewhere else...the first couple of weeks of May are going to be brutal.
From the looks of it, it seems they send it out in batches. Hopefully the next batch is us soon!!I wonder if there's a day in the week that they typically choose to send II or if it's just an arbitrary date after they process "X" amount of applications.
I hope so, fingers crossed!From the looks of it, it seems they send it out in batches. Hopefully the next batch us soon!!
Nope but tbh I think if they are sending out more interviews it will be next week since its the first actual full week of May but thats just a theory lolAny updates from anyone?
don't see why it would hurt!I sent my 3 required LORs but I have an extra one on interfolio from an undergrad pre-med advisor. Is it worth it for me to send it? Or should I reach out to them and ask? Or should I just hang tight and hope for the best at this point?
I hope decisions get sent next week, the waiting is killing me.Will decisions for April interviews be around the same time as more interviews get sent out?
