Drexel: Wait List

Well, I finally heard back from Drexel in a snail mail letter dated April 8. This is a week and a half longer than the long estimate they gave me of 6-8 weeks. It would have felt good knowing that I got into Drexel, but the reality is that I decided almost immediately after getting into Colorado that I would prefer Colorado over Drexel.

Interestingly, Drexel requested that I confirm my continued interest in writing:

• I choose to accept your offer to be placed on the "Wait List."
• I choose to decline your offer to be placed on the "Wait List."

They of course need this information to help them shape their incoming class. The flip side, though, is that I now get the puerile satisfaction of turning down Drexel without even having been admitted.
