Members don't see this ad.

onto a long weekend….still no drexel secondary though.

 

[RedHuntingHats]

Found out earlier today that Drexel put me on hold.

[Complete 8/13]

 

[WorldChanger36]

Wow... No secondary yet. I hope it comes next week.

 

[VanEman]

Submitted primary Aug 5, but this is the only school I haven't gotten a secondary from yet. Hmmmmmm. I guess we just wait.

 

[RedHuntingHats]

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.

 

[pink/\floyd]

:/

 

[coffeelover10]

Wow, II's already??

 

[Sandmeezy]

It shouldn't be a problem if I scheduled my interview before getting the official email right? Haha

 

[RiverhawkXC]

Wow, interview invites before I even got my secondary 🙁

 

[NYCdude]

Does Drexel do rolling admissions? If so, aren't we at a disadvantage if we get a secondary at a much later time than someone else despite applying at the same time?

 

[Zelda840]

This is getting quite ridiculous. It's almost September.

 

[yankees527]

got secondary this morning

 

[kewlboy88]

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.

 

[bear2roo]

still no secondary....verified 6/4....

 

[DrOMG]

II!!! OOS 29. 3.86. Complete first day!

 

[khrisskhoras]

still no secondary....verified 6/4....

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.

 

[yankees527]

best moment ever (besides mr white throwing pizza on the roof)

 

[Lt_Yash]

I was verified back at the beginning of June. I just received my secondary yesterday. I thought I missed it. I thought it was one of the more simpler and easier secondaries of the twenty others I have already completed.

 

[AA|FCB|DOC]

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

 

[AA|FCB|DOC]

*verified

Where has everyone been seeing their status changes? Through the "to view your decision click here" link?

Yep

 

[jjtheairplane]

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😡

 

[lovereading]

received and submitted secondary... show me some love, Drexel!

 

[andrewRA4]

Mine just says complete--does that mean hold or just that they haven't gotten to me yet?

 

[womanofscience]

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

 

[womanofscience]

You received a complete email?

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.

 

[kjj17]

admissions just responded to an email I sent them about the secondary over 2 weeks ago. well, better late than never I guess 😛 (I submitted it quite a while ago though ahah)

What did they say?

 

[Ruby109]

Just received the secondary!!

 

[Saxappeal1]

Ruby109 when was your AMCAS verified? Still no secondary for me

 

[Ruby109]

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!

 

[Saxappeal1]

lol I was verified 8/14, so I know I won't get mine for a while....

 

[WorldChanger36]

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.

 

[PreciousHamburgers]

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...

 

[medquestions2014]

It shouldn't be a problem if I scheduled my interview before getting the official email right? Haha

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

 

[Sandmeezy]

Same, thank you!

 

[exmoderpina]

Submitted 8/20, Complete email 8/26, Status changed to "Your file is and complete and will be reviewed." last week. no hold or II yet...

Exact same dates of submission/complete email, all quiet on the western front here as well...

 

[umbrellaapp]

I think, judging from the II's given, they only got around to people complete 8/20

 

[yankees527]

how long did it take everyone to have their status page updated with dates for "received"

 

[Ace Khalifa]

So I finally got the secondary this morning...yeah, this one can sit until my last interview is done next week.

 

[Tappinfool66]

FINALLY got the secondary.

 

[NewTima]

I still do not have the secondary.......UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
