Easy to get in if you have goodJul 14 2018Art & Design Department
Easy to get in if you have good grades. Definitely "appeal" to get more money, they will give it

I got nearly the exact SAT scores as theMar 09 2018Computer Science
I got nearly the exact SAT scores as the average accepted student to Drexel as well as GPA in high school. Drexel was the only University I applied to and got in. They know only about an 8th of the students make it through the program so a lot of the accepted students end up just giving the university money so please consider your options before going here.

I am here on a national merit scholarshipMar 11 2016Engineering Department
I am here on a national merit scholarship. I did a few things in high school and had a job in a cafe, but I'm pretty sure it was my high test scores and GPA that got me into the honors college as well. Drexel was my first choice even though I probably could have gotten into an Ivy. It's easy to get into Drexel so long as you have a solid GPA (at least 2.0, 2.5 or up recommended, but that's just an estimate). If you're interested in engineering, I recommend that you get as much coding, robotics, and/or CAD experience as possible just because it will make it easier when you get here and open up more opportunities. I didn't know any of that before coming but I turned out fine, you catch on quick.

Rock your PSATs and get a National Merit Scholarship!Jan 08 2015Computer Science
Rock your PSATs and get a National Merit Scholarship! One of last top schools to offer a great package. If that opportunity has passed, do well on your SAT/ACT and have a great GPA. Do some research on your own and show it on your application. This is a big research school so give them what they want. Also, if you are sure on Drexel, take a summer program. It more than pays for itself as you get a scholarship each year you attend after.
