I've applied to both Drexel and Clarion. Heard back from Clarion-- got in. But Drexel is my preferred. Still waiting to hear. I received an email from them saying it'll take approx. 4-8 weeks to hear anything back, I believe I'm entering my 6th week now. Clarion is asking for the deposit ASAP, but I want to wait until I hear from Drexel. I'm afraid that if I wait too long to respond to Clarion, my spot would be gone. I currently work part-time at a public library and a co-worker of mine said that if I called Drexel and said another school I applied to has a closely approaching deadline for the non-refundable deposit, and that I prefer to go to Drexel, they will "most likely" give me the answer right then and there. I honestly don't trust her advice, and I'm unsure of what to do. I'm starting to worry I won't get into Drexel. I hope the waiting/deciding is going a lot better for everyone else!
