I did the same and I called the office and they said it was fine
You can pay online and there's an automatic GPA calculator. Here's the link: https://www2.drexelmed.edu/pshspayments/Everyone keeps saying that for GPA calculations, there is some automated way on the website any way someone can send me a link to this, or is the sheet that you fill out manually, the sheet that everyone is referring to.
Whenever you send something in to the office you are at the bottom of the list. I'm not sure if you will be group according to when your application was received. Most likely you will be group according to when your application was reviewed.If you haven't sent it in does this mean your at the bottom of the application list. Or if you get in in by thursday then you will be be considered with that group?
I sent an email asking about my app status but never heard back.Is anyone who mailed in there application and supplemental materials having a tough time with the office?
You have to call for that infoI sent an email asking about my app status but never heard back.
Does everyone have an equal chance or is it first come first serve
Interview invites go out after April 25th which is after the deadline so everyone has an equal chanceDoes everyone have an equal chance or is it first come first serve
Good luck and let us know how it goesApplication submitted 12/11/13. Complete 2/21/14. II 4/8/14. They emailed me and and gave me 3 possible interview dates. 4/23,4/24, and 4/29. I chose 4/23. 2 weeks away!!
i was told the same thingCongratulations on your invite Senoritalolita.
Not be mean/condescending or anything, I called the office today (as I was curious about the status of my application- I was complete around early February) since interview invites were being sent out according to the previous poster, I wanted to see if I was rejected. I asked about the interview invites and the rejection letters. Thelia (the coordinator) told me the interview invites are being sent out after the deadline of April 25th and that rejections can be sent out at any time.
Really strange... would appreciate if anyone else called the office and received a similar response (or different?)

My app was complete in January and got an interview invite on Teusday as well. My guess is Senoritalolita's app was also complete a bit earlier.
Congrats on the interview. Hopefully we both get in.Like Senoritalolita I finished my app pretty early (December) and got an invite for those same dates, however, I needed to push it back til May so I will be interviewing in May.
Not sure if this was asked but are decisions about acceptance made after all the interviews are completed?
No. Some applicants who stand out will receive notification early that they are accepted. The majority are batched when the admission committee meets (every thursday i believe) and they review all those who have had their interviews already. They have a list of potentials and this list is either kept and the interviewers notified or it's revisited again as more interviews finish their process. They hear the news on a semi rolling basis. Try not to fret if you don't hear for a few weeks-- people have received acceptances up to the day before the program starts as some people drop out, get accepted to a med school they applied to, choose not to do it, etc.Not sure if this was asked but are decisions about acceptance made after all the interviews are completed?
It's not rolling admissions so I believe they give everyone an equal chance. Someone correct me if I'm wrong!

The med school committee prefers single spaced, 1 page. Margins would be the standard margins on a new doc in ms word/office. Font you can use is pretty typical of times new roman 12. From being on the committee as a student it gets annoying paging through an application that is 1.5 or double spaced with too little or too large of font, and that was only doing it for a year so I can only imagine how the other committee faculty that do it continuously must feel. The point of your PS is to get your issues and qualifications across in a succinct manner while holding the attention of the reader. There's power in 'less is more.' But, IF that at all makes you uncomfortable then go with what you desire so you have no doubt it did or didn't go your way b/c of someone else's input.Hey! was your personal statement single spaced? what are your margin settings? Thanks
Okay for the Math Science GPS calculations should I include specialized genetics classes based on a very particular major that my university has, and also nutrition?
I emailed them a whike ago asking about engineering classes(Biomedical Engineering major so wanted to know if those classes counted) I got a reply of yes so I would email them to make sure or callFor reference as med schools follow what amcas goes by to make it as standard as possible:

If it's not on the bcpm then it's not part of science gpa. Good luck
Hey! was your personal statement single spaced? what are your margin settings? Thanks
Yes!! Hopefully. Are you doing anything to prep for it?Congrats on the interview. Hopefully we both get in.
Right now I'm trying to make sure I know more about the school. I've had a medical school interview and few mock interviews from when I entered this past cycle that helped me prep a little. So I feel comfortable in that respect. I'll definitely let you know how it goes next week.Yes!! Hopefully. Are you doing anything to prep for it?
If you haven't sent it in does this mean your at the bottom of the application list. Or if you get in in by thursday then you will be be considered with that group?
How many people get invited for interviews or what percentage.
