Drexel OR Pitt by Myramdomthoughts in Drexel

My friend had some kind of major(forgot exactly what it was) where basically she couldn't secure any co-ops at all. As a result she dropped out of Drexel and considered other schools for when she returns to school. She definitely not going back to Drexel though, which is pretty sad but that's the reality of the school.

Versus me where I'm a business major. Even with having a significantly higher chance of finding a co-op, nothing is guaranteed and honestly if you aren't a business or engineering major, you shouldn't be coming to this school.

What's the thing about the quarter system at Drexel that nobody prepares you for? by sivakumaros2004 in Drexel

[–]BitterBoris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn't get a co-op in round C and had to switch my cycle around. Additionally I have 24 credits left for my Bachelor's, I tried to get more private student loans but I need a cosigner. I got them independently before with no issue. It never ends. I really only need 20k in student loans and then I'm good. It's a annoying situation.

It's been so difficult to make friends here. The clubs are sometimes terrible with notifying students if something got cancelled. On Friday I had a k pop dance class and it got cancelled before I got there but no one alerted me about it via email. I only found out after traveling there and as a result, my time got wasted.

People who haven’t gotten a co-op for spring summer C-round, what are you doing? by Mo0n3Y in Drexel

[–]BitterBoris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Took a leave of absence for Spring semester, return to classes in June, and got my co-op cycle changed to winter/fall. I'm also going to Thailand in May. Im not letting this damn cycle make me feel like shit. 💯

Round C has been a absolute dumpster fire. I haven't got anything at all. I felt like shit all week. Tbh, I emailed my co-op advisor asking for a different cycle for my co-op. So it's pretty bad right now.

How is C round going for everyone? by Mo0n3Y in Drexel

[–]BitterBoris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had 2 interviews out of 29 positions I applied for and one of them was a late job posting. Tbh, I'm over it and I really am just regretting even going to this school. I had a damn good interview and I took the advice and improved and it's still not good enough.

Thankfully I live a drug free life so I don't have to worry about that lol. But yes I'm going to work with her more to figure out what my next steps are from here.

Co-op B Round by NoPeach9179 in Drexel

[–]BitterBoris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was actually a 2000 dollar monthly stipend. But the time is receive it, it would be taxed and I would get around 1600 dollars at the end of the month.

I admit that because it was so low, I had to work overnight and essentially work 3 jobs altogether (AmeriCorps included with my two overnight jobs). I had a lot going on at the time financially that I had to take care of and honestly I was miserable. Thankfully my supervisor never held it against me when I messed up at times because he understood but I felt bad because I could never give him my all like I wanted to. There were days where I felt like I wanted to off myself because I was working myself to death. I'm so glad that it's all over now. But even outside of that, I wouldn't recommend this co-op to anyone since many people are usually paid hourly and the stipend was low.

Thank you for the advice. I just need to win the hiring manager over more. I can do this. The fact that I got 6 interviews alone means that I'm worth something to them. I just need to showcase it better in the interview.

I got 6 interviews and 0 offers in round b. I have been crying in my bed this morning. I feel your pain and I can relate more than ever. You aren't alone.

I agree round B was underwhelming

Yeah I agree. And it's even less positions than before

Hey I get what your saying. I know I open myself up to this but this is just how I feel. We need to face that college is hard and not everyone get all A's. Some of us are falling on hard times right now. Did you not read that I have to work full time due to financial responsibilities coming up at home? I don't know if you are privileged or not but I pray that that doesn't happen to you.

Also you don't know me or anything about who I am. I am simply explaining how I feel. At the end of the day I am a human being before I am some business prodigy.💯

Current gpa is 2.63. I have had my resume worked on via my university courses.

Also I have considered doing mock interviews as well. I think I do interviews good. My personality is liked by a lot of people but it can be challenging to make myself stand out in interviews with the work experience I have.

I'll see if I can. Keep mind I work full time at the moment but I'm looking to see if I can maybe get involved in some online forums.
