True story. Admissions told me it's still early in their process.
Secondary!

I recently got an interview invitation from drexel, and somewhere I read that we would be given the names of the people who interview us. Where could we find the names of them if that's the case? I can't find them anywhere after I confirmed my interview.
They send secondaries to everybody. They had a major tech issue and have been sending them out in small waves (unfortunately at random regardless of AMCAS verification date). You will get one, just no knowing when...
I just answered your question on Penn State's thread. Every school puts a great deal of emphasis on the MCAT. Instead of posting on every single threat, why don't you just look at the MSAR and compare your score with their 10% percentile? If you are at or above the score then you are good to go.
Thats usually the morning of the interview
Finally got the secondary!! YAY!
Complete 8/29, has anyone received an II around this date?

you mean your AMCAS was verified on 7/29? Because secondaries didn't go out until mid aug
Oops, I meant 8/29.

so about this secondary... :-(
I was completed 8/28 and got an II on 9/10
When were you complete?
I was never complete because I never received a secondary. My AMCAS was submitted to Drexel on 7/28/2014
Please tell me I'm not the only one who hasn't gotten there secondary yet as of today??
Secondary submitted today!
Sorry I meant verified/added. I added Drexel mid-August and I received my secondary yesterday….. I'm not sure what's going on…
You're not alone. Since there's nothing much we can do to accelerate the process I think the best thing to do is just try not to think about it and know that when you do get it, the turn-around time will be super quick. So you will know pretty quickly if you got an interview or not, most likely.
Though this is pretty annoying...but out of our control at the moment.

for that interview ethics essay, does anybody know what kind of questions they asked about?
I don't know, but I've been reading past threads and it is supposed to be relatively easy. I find out tomorrow
Anyone who's interviewed all ready able to share some general info???...was it super conversational/bioethics questions/etc.???
I thought it's only conversation. Do they ask you to write an essay during interview??
A good 13 days...
good luck!! can you let us know the type of questions that they ask? i read that it is not medically related, but want to know if that is still the caseI don't know, but I've been reading past threads and it is supposed to be relatively easy. I find out tomorrow
When did you submit? That's crazy!
Just fyi to those who still need to submit secondaries, I submitted two days ago and am complete today.
I've had the status for about 3 weeks with no change yet.

Interview was today. Everyone seemed very nice. Interviewer just went over my AMCAS info with the typical interview questions (why medicine, why drexel, etc...). Ethics essay was very simple. Not medically related. If you have common sense you know what the right answer is. Very short.
I should add that my group was the first group they interviewed ~14 applicants.

Okay, everybody
I wasn't too worked up about not receiving a secondary in a timely way, given that they're having computer glitches. But when I see that interviews have started, it's a little unnerving.
Still no secondary ...
Did you have one faculty and one student interviewer? I heard student interviews were pretty relaxed and usually done during lunch.. was this true?
