VIP Application at Drexel University

Did any of you get offered this application option? It states that no long essay or application fee is needed. I am filling out the app now and I am wondering if its binding, like early decision? (That would not be cool...)

haha I got that and St. John's and thought the same thing! I highly doubt it's binding. At my school you have to send out a transcript release form and you have to state ED/EA/RD. I think you're safe.

yes, I got the email today. I emailed back asking if it was a form of EA or ED. I have not received a response yet; I will let you know when I do.

What's a VIP application? I got my application fee waived by a school.

It seems to waive the essays too for the accelerated programs - is this true?

I'm prob going to do it just for fun, but I just want to be sure I can still do Yale SCEA

I just sent mine in. You still have to send in a transcript and SAT scores after you fill out the initial application.

NY_D: After I sent it in, I received an e-mail that said if you submit it by January, you're automatically considered for a $28,000 scholarship. They probably consider all the VIP applicants for scholarships.

I doubt it's binding--it's really hard to accidentally bind to a college, they would need signatures of a guidance counselor, as well as yours and your parents.

I was just wondering for those who have applied this way, are the SAT scored and Transcript all they need? Or should I also get recommendations?

I have a teacher, but I'm still waiting on my counselor one...so it could take a while--so I hope we don't have to.

yea, shy is right.

I haven't received and email back, but I'm pretty sure they would make it clear if this was binding.

well even though the app itself is free...you still need to spend money sending scores, your transcript/counselor form

I am actually holding this application in my lap right now; got it in the mail today. It looks convenient. I'll fill it out.
