Sorry maybe we were talking about the same thing then, because ^ this is what I was talking about. A full year between school and matriculation. For us it's wonky cause we are in summer quarter now.

Thanks for all of your input guys! I think I am going to go ahead and answer it when/if I get the secondary. I don't think my time in between undergrad and matriculation counts towards being a "gap" of any length of time, since I was in graduate school for most of it, but I graduated in 2013, so there will have been 3 years almost between then and matriculation. I have done a lot more EC's in that time as well as lived as a "real adult" so I feel like it's worth mentioning to them.

No essay tho? Sorry I can't be any help.
any essays?
Nope! Except for explaining any time your education has not been continuous, or if you graduated over 6 months ago, explain what you have been doing since then. I don't remember off the top of my head the character limits since they didn't apply to me.
thanks!
I was verified before July 1st, have yet to receive a secondary from Drexel.
Should I email them about this? Jefferson sent me a secondary invite on July 10th but i never received it until I asked them on July 15th if there were some technical difficulties on their end.
Thoughts?

I haven't gotten it either but i was verified on the 9th. It hasn't even been 24 since they sent the first one out. I'd sit and wait a bit more.
I was also verified well before July 1st and haven't received one so I'd say just wait a little bit more before calling. One post on another thread said many schools randomly send out a few secondaries a couple days before they send out a big batch hoping they can work out any technical difficulties before the secondary is sent to a ton of people.

Just got this secondary! Verified July 9th.
Do you mind sharing your stats?
3.5 cgpa, 3.4 sgpa, 29 MCAT, retaking August 5.
Definitely below general MD stats, so I don't think getting this secondary correlated with that.

It's literally only been a couple days. I'm sure if they send them out in batches, it could take up to a couple weeks.
Did you just get it today? I'm surprised they're sending out secondaries on a weekend!
I got it this afternoon.
when were you completed?
I got my secondary this morning. Not too terrible
Essentially my plan for the next year...

I was verified June 2 and still haven't received it. Not too worried given that many people have yet to receive it
just went to submit and all of my experiences disappeared....
just tried to log in and this happened so I guess we need to just wait it out
"This site is temporarily unavailable due to server maintenance."
"This site is temporarily unavailable due to server maintenance."
I was able to submit mine around lunch. I did get the error message a couple of times
Can everyone else log in or is it saving server maintenance as well for you all?
Got it finally to work!
When you check your status, does it say if they received anything yet? Mines all blank
Hmm still no secondary for me
+1, If I don't receive by Friday morning I'm going to give them a call.
Just FYI: I pressed submit yesterday around noon. It said it was all good. When I checked again today, it said I hadn't yet submitted. So, maybe go double check lol.
damn thanks for the heads up!
I haven't gotten one yet either
For those of you that got secondaries, anyone have the word or character count?

Did anyone call about not receiving a secondary? If so what was the verdict?
Basically, they only essays you write are about your gap year(if you had one) and institutional action. All of my secondaries have taken me at least a week to do (writing is my personal form of hell). I did Drexel in a few hours only because I was at work doing the app between different assigned duties.
One of my easiest secondaries. Just make sure the computer actually lets you submit. I double checked to be safe. My first submission hadn't gone through.

I have yet to receive a secondary as well...
Good to know. What is "institutional action"? Any word count? And, mine are taking me at least a week also, so rest assured! Looking forward to one that takes just hours.
Still secondary here either... Would be nice to have a easy one to take a break from all the monsters I've been putting off...
