@halfwaycrooks and @PreciousHamburgers there is NO gap in your education. Did you take time off while IN school?

" 2-We are looking to see if you’ve taken any time off from college. This does not include summer or other official breaks. If you have taken time off for any other reason, please explain and give details of your activities during that time(s).

3-If your education has been continuous, but you have graduated, please detail what you’ve been doing if your graduation was more than six (6) months prior to the completion of this application."

This to me means if you've taken time off from college, why did you do so? If you went straight through 4 years there is not a gap in your education. Question 3 then says, if you education was continuous but you graduated what did you do- aka NO to question 2, and explain gap years in question 3.

Thank you. I graduated less than 6 months ago so I think I should be ok.

Just a tip for those having trouble submitting the secondary - I attempted to complete it last night around 10PM but couldnt even get past the first section without it timing out. I tried it at 9AM this morning and was able to finish it without problem.

 

[coffeelover10]

anyone get a secondary today?

 

[gkberger]

For those who have submitted, does your application status still list as "Incomplete" on the "Application Summary" page? Also, at the bottom of that page, all of the requirements (application fee, LOR, secondary) appear to be blank. I submitted last night around 12:00 MST so maybe they just haven't processed it yet?

Yeah, it takes a little bit of time to process. Mine was like that yesterday too.

I received my secondary on the 13, submitted on the 13, and was allegedly marked complete later that day (all during business hours). This was before the site started experiencing issues so not sure if it is helpful.

 

[allre]

Still no secondary here.

 

[SoonToBeDrG]

Still no secondary here.

Same. But who cares. The schools is clearly having major issues so I'm fine chilling in the big pool.

 

[Dajaleymon Kiwi]

Received, submitted. And now we wait...

 

[lwgw]

Just to make sure about the letters.

Under FAQ, it says they accept additional letters. So I sent in 2 addition letters to them and showed up online (the page where you pay for the application fee). But on the Status/Decision page, it only says Science letter-1, Science letter-2, and Non-Science letter-1 received were received. Does it mean they received all 5 letters or just the 3 letters? Have similar issue?

 

[ADAUC]

submitted! there goes my 100 bucks😱

 

[ADAUC]

Although it did state that it could be 3 months before another update because they have so many files to review!

I actually just checked my AMCAS to make sure I remembered to add Drexel. My "go with the flow" attitude about receiving this secondary is deteriorating.

Wow, that took about an hour and a half to submit. For everyone else that hasn't gotten one, I hope the Secondary comes your way soon.

I envy your mere 1.5 hours 😛 Truthfully, I'm just ecstatic to be done with secondaries!

It's a database coding issue.

^Not going to help any of us, but just in case there are any Drexel coders floating around this thread...

[Iridescent]

I can't even connect, been trying for hours.

 

[ahhssha]

anyone know if the website is going to be consistently slow like this? literally have been trying to fill it out and save changes for the past 2 hours. Each time i try to save the site goes to an error page. 🙁

Doing it in the dead of the night solved everything for me.

[exmoderpina]

Submitted, but there is too much happenin' on the page for me to comprehend.... where can we check our complete status? It looks like there are two portals? So confused. 😕

There aren't any essays. Everyone is getting them late so you're at no real disadvantage by not having one yet.

True. But at this point another $100 is starting to loom.
