Out of curiosity, does anyone know when we are going to get dates for commencement for the whole school as well as individual school ones? Specifically westphal? Looking to start figuring out making sure my out of state family can afford to travel and take off work and can't find dates anywhere. 🫠

UG GPA: Cum 2.7 Major: 3.0

Bachelor's Degree in Computer Information Systems. Graduated in 2012. Small No name school

Currently have 15-20 years as Field Technician, IT support specialist, Sysadmin

GRE: N/A. I don't really plan on taking it due to my exp level and the fact that Drexel does offer a waiver, doesn't seem to care about it.

Extra curriculars: Volunteer my technical skills at a county jail teaching staff how to use AI. I used to work there too.

Current Job: Linux Engineer at a mid-sized software company. Fully remote. Been at this company for a year and will have been here 2-3 years by the time I apply/start.

Purpose: The reason why I want to get an MBA with maybe a concentration in CS or AI, is because while I have been on the hardware side of tech, this career hasn't been what I thought it would be after I graduated. I see where the industry is going and AI is the new product everyone has to have, work on or yes even support. I have not been able advance or work at the companies I would like. I think the MBA would help me fill that hole in my resume, gain more respect, enter the actual technology industry and move more towards the business sides of things.

I also want to meet more people and develop more long-term relationships with other more non-techy and sales types professionals. Ideally I would like to be on the profit making side of tech and not the support side.

As far as other programs at Drexel I am not sure if I get a Masters in CS it will either help me with my network or going the way I want my career to go. That seems to be counter towards my MBA hopes.

I plan to apply in 2026 or 2027 (if you think I need a GRE)

What are your thoughts?

I got 11 interviews this round and I had this employer who emailed me since Thursday that I know I don't want the job for. I heard you are allowed to reject interviews now if you have more than 10 requests? Asked my advisor the day it was released but she hasn't answered and I don't feel like leaving the employer hanging. Anyone has experience rejecting interviews that came through the drexel system?

Hey guys! Just wanted to know smth about making a payment plan for the winter term and generally about the dining plan. I'm paying my tuition monthly, but it seems like winter 2024 isn't avaliable right now? I wanted to know if others are seeing the same. Do I have to register for classes first before making a plan? (my time ticket is on the 12th)

Also, for dining dollars, do you sign up for another winter dining plan sometime this month, so that dining dollars can rollover? Right now, I have like over $200 still from my original $250 dining plan cause I thought I would just get more once winter starts, or it stays there until the end of summer.

Just asking though, if there is any alumni willing to help me

I took AP bio in high school and I thought that bio 131 would be fairly easy to understand. So when the semester started I was understanding everything and I studied too but I got a 61 and I was so shocked. The exam was easy of course but I still did so bad. Comes time for second and third exam and I studied like a DOG but for both I got 54.10. I just don't know what to do anymore. I am feeling so hopeless. Any advice on how I can improve and also where I can find practice tests? I need a high score on the last midterm and final exam.

Is 7 interview requests (all paid) good for a 2nd year bio major going on their first co-op?

what are some easy science classes I can take for the winter term?

Kindly someone help me regarding drexel alumni scholorship need a senior to recommend me will be very thankful to you

Hi everyone! I’m graduating this December with a degree in sports medicine at another Uni, and I’m interested in applying to Drexel’s nursing program. Here’s a bit about my background: • GPA: 2.9 (with all necessary prerequisites completed) • Healthcare Experience: I work as a medical assistant in a doctor’s office, where I perform tasks like drawing blood, conducting EKGs, administering vaccines, and wound care, etc. • Letters of Recommendation: I have strong recommendations highlighting my hands-on skills and dedication to patient care.

While my GPA is slightly below what Drexel typically looks for, I’m hoping my experience and recommendations might strengthen my application. Has anyone else applied to Drexel with similar qualifications? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi I know this will be a reach since everyone wants spring/summer but I’m wondering if anyone would want to switch co-op cycles with me! I’m fall/winter looking for spring/summer. I’m a CS major and a freshman.

And if I can’t find anyone, would changing my major to SE switch me? And does anyone know any minors that will switch me too?

Hi!

I'm trying to make a schedule for myself and I want to take both CS 171 and INFO 152, but I'm kind of worried about how much work it will be. At first, I added Economics as an elective, but then I removed it thinking I should take both CS and INFO. Can you give me any advice or recommendations on what I should do?

Anyone have the link to see interviews early?

I'm trying to plan out my winter term as a freshman and am thinking about picking the CI102 lecture asynchronous. Can it be a good idea to do the lecture class online and just have to attend the lab?

Hi all, I’m an international student who just got into Drexel University for the Winter Term with a one-year co-op option. However, the cost of attendance is still around $40K per year, and my family can only contribute $10K. I appealed for more financial aid, but they denied it.

I really want to attend, especially with the co-op opportunity, but the remaining 30k is beyond what we can manage. I’m trying to explore all possible options to reduce the cost or figure out a sustainable way to make it work.

Does anyone know of any ways to lower costs at Drexel or have suggestions for additional funding? Also, any advice on maximizing the co-op earnings to cover expenses would be really helpful! Thanks!

I want to go for data structure and algorithms ( cs 501 ) but cs 501 is a prerequisite for this. I am well aware the progress fundaments. Can someone please help me choose the correct subject which will help me get most out of the course?

So I’m planing on traveling this month for thankgiving week. How do I get to the airport since I don’t have a car and don’t want to call an Uber. Preferably using the train .

Long story short, I’m withdrawing from a class tomorrow. Will I get any type of refund?

I am a CS major freshman. I am currently in the Spring Summer co-op cycle. Would anyone want to swap their co-op cycle from Fall winter to Spring summer with me?
