Found out earlier today that Drexel put me on hold.

To everyone who has not yet received a secondary, I wouldn't worry just yet. My friend called their office earlier and got the response that they send secondaries out in batches.
:/

Wow, II's already??
Wow, interview invites before I even got my secondary 🙁
got secondary this morning
When were you verified/added Drexel? Waiting for this secondary is getting ridiculous…..
Verified around 6/17 or very early. I have had Drexel on there from the start. I just forgot about this app then I saw the email this morning lol
EDIT: this is probably the most annoying secondary I have ever encountered

The Drexel application process is natural selection in action. Several people have reported withdrawing because they couldn't deal with the frustration of the secondary. The genome of the 2015 Drexel matriculants is more likely to contain a higher proportion of resilience genes because it will necessarily contain all those who were fit enough to survive the secondary without eliminating themselves from the Drexel gene pool.

Lol I was waiting for this to happen. One early verified applicant w/o secondary, another with an interview for God's sake...

So... Has anyone noticed a pattern among the applicants who don't have the secondary yet? Is it based on grades, MCAT, residency, etc...? Or are we just randomly unlucky?!
There seems to be no rhyme or reason that I can see. People with higher LizzyM scores than me, people with lower.. people who submitted their primary significant later than mine, people earlier.. Drexel doesn't screen supposedly, so we're just in that unlucky group in this ridiculous scenario. Meanwhile, people are getting IIs here while we twiddle our thumbs.
best moment ever (besides mr white throwing pizza on the roof)
Is there anyone else who got vetoed mid June, and still has not received a secondary? Only school that has not sent me one yet
*verified
here
Yep
Is anyone still incomplete due to payment? I paid on August 26th but apparently they have to manually enter payments before you're complete? It's pissing me off😡
received and submitted secondary... show me some love, Drexel!

They have not started reviewing your app. The review status for me was very transient-it came about a week or so after getting the complete email and then it was one day under review before being placed on hold. The "view status/decision" page is very clear about the status.
You received a complete email? o nvm I did too lol
yes! submitted 8/13, received complete email 8/20. I think the status changes online before they officially send an email. Also, I have yet to receive an email about the hold.
What did they say?
Ruby109 when was your AMCAS verified? Still no secondary for me
verified June 3rd I think, it was the first day. Just goes to show that the process is seriously random! I hope you get yours soon!
lol I was verified 8/14, so I know I won't get mine for a while....
I wonder if drexel realizes that this lottery system has changed the way they review applicants. Makes stats matter a bit less. Just got to be super lucky. Talk about a dice roll..... Come on Drexel Daddy need a new career... dang snake eyes.
Submitted 8/20, Complete email 8/26, Status changed to "Your file is and [sic] complete and will be reviewed." last week. no hold or II yet...

I did that too! I don't think its an issue, I got a confirmation email for my interview like right after I scheduled it
Same, thank you!
Exact same dates of submission/complete email, all quiet on the western front here as well...

I think, judging from the II's given, they only got around to people complete 8/20
how long did it take everyone to have their status page updated with dates for "received"
So I finally got the secondary this morning...yeah, this one can sit until my last interview is done next week.
FINALLY got the secondary.
