Can an accepted applicant request deferral of matriculation?
Accepted candidates who are currently holding a position in the entering class may request to defer their matriculation for one year. Requests for deferral of matriculation must be received by the Office of Admissions (kelli.kennedy@drexelmed.edu) by July 15 of the year of matriculation and must include a detailed plan for the time period. In recent years, deferrals have been granted to individuals who plan to complete research projects, engage in extended volunteer or service activities (e.g., AmeriCorps, Teach for America), or pursue other academic opportunities (e.g., Fulbright Fellowship). The Medical School Admissions Committee will determine if a deferral request is appropriate. If a deferral is granted by the Admissions Committee, a place in the next year’s entering class is reserved for the applicant.
