    I am a high school sophomore thinking about applying to Drexel. I have looked around the website, but I can't seem to find what Drexel is looking for in an applicant. Is there a certain GPA, test score, etc. that you need to apply?

    I am thrilled at having been recently accepted into the Graphic Design Program Antoinette School of Media Arts & Design at Drexel. I've even been offered a $10k Deans' Scholarship for my 4.0 College GPA. I'm here on Zinch because even with the $10k scholarship I must secure more funding to even consider attending. Can you offer any guidance or help? I am a 40 year old non-traditional transfer student.

    Hello: I am a prospective student at Drexel University. While I wait to hear from the admissions office, I would like to know your percentage of international students. I have spent most of my school life overseas attending American schools on military bases so I am used to attending school with a wide range of diverse students. Also, when would decisions be made concerning merit based scholarships? Thanks, Kathy Shoemaker

      Well I would just like to know what is the graduation rate at Drexel?

        According to US News, the 4-year graduation rate is 23%

        so only 23% of students who go to drexel graduate there?

        At Drexel, they provide a combination of in-class education and on the job experience. They operate on a cooperative education program, where students are sent to employers around the world to work for 6-month periods. Students can complete multiple co-ops, which makes Drexel's 4-year graduation rate seem low. Their 6-year graduation rate is much higher at around 68%

      Does this school offer a degree in Psychiatry? Also, since co-op is mandatory at Drexel, do student graduate in four years?
