What students say PRO
From students' own posts on Reddit and admissions forums: self-reported, unverified, never used in your odds.
- Most admits who named a round (20 of 31) applied Early Action; 11 applied Regular Decision.
- About 43 admits held a top role built over years: founder, president, captain or editor of a club, team or nonprofit.
- About 53 admits did steady community service, tutoring or nonprofit work, often alongside leadership in the same area.
- About 36 admits had a long-running music, art or writing commitment, such as band, orchestra, choir or a published work.
- About 19 admits played a varsity sport, often as captain, alongside their other activities.
- Students report Drexel's price is the main drawback: about $40-44K a year, and only worth it with a big scholarship or family money.
- Students report merit scholarships of $36-47K still leave large gaps, and appeals for more institutional aid were reported as unlikely to succeed.
- Students report Drexel gives international admits little or uniform aid, with costs around $35-40K a year, and paused one international scholarship program.
- Students report Early Action decisions arrive in mid-January, and merit scholarship details can arrive separately and later than the decision.
