Your numbers are fine. Drexel takes a holistic approach so your things outside of the classroom become very important.

Looks very easy to fill out.

When were you verified?
 
Ooo, I guess there will be something for me to write then. I had been expecting a simple no-essay haha. This is good though. More room to explain my situation.

What is the question?
 
Darn it; I'm not that much of a fan of the medical schools dishing out iPads trend, if only because I already bought one a while ago. :p

still no secondary and this is the last school I am applying to
 
Completed all my secondaries except for this school. Just send it already!
 
Anyone applying MD/PhD? It says we need to create a PhD app, but there doesn't seem to be anything for 2014-2015 that I can add for a PhD?
 
When I click "Save Incomplete Form" I get kicked out of the site and my information is deleted? It only started happening in the work section. Anybody else having this issue?

Save incomplete form every time you enter something new because if you wait too long it will logout and delete whatever you entered.

Oh wow...I thought I was doing that. 5ish minutes must be too long. Wasn't expecting that.

OHHH,

I thought the .(point) was associated with the 5 as in 0.5min.

Ha, I had the same problem. However, a few times I found no rhyme or reason to why the system kicked me back to the login screen. But the secondary is submitted now.

Good luck everyone!

+1 :(

+2, but they have to do it in batches because of all the backlog they've accrued by starting to send out a secondary in August so I can understand the wait. Still, it's my last school and I just want to submit my last application :)
 
Just got the secondary today

Verified 7/18 :)

I did...I just couldn't justify its inclusion. Shadowing is on my AMCAS so I wasn't worried.

Did you get paid for the research or get academic credit for it? If so, I would leave it out. If you worked for free then you should probably include it in the additional EC section.

Verified on 6/11, still no secondary. I am calling tomorrow if I haven't received it.

I haven't received a secondary either, and I was verified 6/11. I really wouldn't panic or bother the admission office. I'm sure they are sending them in batches. Don't worry too much.

Have they emailed you back and said that is how we are supposed to do it?

Yes.

"IV. We are very interested in knowing if your parents, grandparents or siblings are alumni/alumnae.
Have your parents, grandparents or siblings earned or are in the process of earning an M.D. degree from Drexel University College of Medicine or its heritage institutions (Woman's Medical College, Hahnemann University College of Medicine, Allegheny University of the Health Sciences or the Medical College of Pennsylvania)? Also, please note below if your parents, grandparents or siblings are employed by the College of Medicine or any of our affiliate hospitals..."
 
What is the turnaround time for the secondary for you guys? Is it long and difficult or shorter ?
