Who's still waiting for a secondary?
This is somewhat similar to a question I asked earlier in the thread. I am graduating in December, but it will be from grad school not undergrad. I have been out of undergrad for almost three years at this point and I will not have been in school for 6-7 months prior to matriculation. I am planning to answer the question to talk about my reasons for grad school as well as the other activities I am currently doing (a lot of my ECs are post-undergrad). I don't think either of us HAVE to answer this question if we do not wish to, but it could not hurt in my opinion.
No you went to school straight through and graduated from college. "Interrupted" means dropped out and returned to school or transferred, along those lines.
See above
Haven't heard anything from Drexel yet. Verified 6/11.
Waiting for a secondary as well. Verified mid June.
Drexel's secondary is so slow. I can't even save the data I have inputted!
this of you waiting on secondaries, don't worry. they only recently started sending them and they are having s lot of technical difficulties with the website, so I bet they are just trying to get everything working before sending out a ton more!
Just received secondary! Also just crashed while loading it! I'm learning to be patient 😉
Seriously. Those of you who have not received secondaries yet should be grateful. The technical issues are not fun to deal with on a Monday morning. I'm going to do my secondary at 1 A.M. tonight to see if that makes a difference.

Me! I was verified 6/22 but MCAT score just released 07/21, which might be the hold up. Or maybe not since I don't think they screen? Guess we'll see!
I finished filling in my secondary about 2 hours ago. Took screenshots while I went along because I had suspicions about the save button not working. Sure enough, it crashed and deleted half of my checks.
I like Drexel's seemingly freeform competency demonstration system, but their site makes the process arduous and frustrating.

Yeah... I can't submit (or save). Site keeps crashing and deleting some of my progress.
Everything but my experiences section will save. WHY.
The PIN should be located in the line below the address they give you for the office of admissions. I kinda had trouble locating it too at first, but it's kinda "hidden" in the email
Command + shift + 4 let's you take screenshots on macs. Just zoom out of your picture and screenshot it (not applying here, just thought I'd help ya lol)
I submitted the supplemental application, paid the fee, uploaded the picture, and the site says they have my recs, BUT when I go to check the status of my application, it says incomplete... What do I do? Should I just wait?
I have the same status. Maybe a reviewer needs to actually look at the documentation to mark it complete, or something is missing that they haven't loaded yet. I don't have a line item in the requirements for MCAT, so maybe they still need to get those loaded before it is complete.
lol this sounds like the UIC app all over again for those who applied there this year.
1. School sends out a small wave of secondaries to a bunch of guinea pigs to test their broken system.
2. Guinea pigs rip their hair out finding every hole in the broken system.
3. Outsiders complain they haven't received a secondary (me).
4. School fixes problem after 2 weeks.
5. Everyone else finally gets their secondary and we all live happily ever after... until 98% of us are rejected.
that's really late to send out secondaries

Still waiting for a secondary 😛
Same.
Everyone.... try using Internet Explorer. The site doesn't seem compatible with Chrome.
Got a secondary today!
Secondary received.
Last secondary received and submitted. Time to sit back and relax (read: neurotically check email) for the rest of summer. Best of luck all!
Finally received this one! STILL waiting on MCG though.
That horrifying moment when you finish checking the marathon of boxes... and when you go to save, the site crashes.
...luckily the "back" button on my browser preserved my precious course designations.

All of my experiences showed up on the application...If it doesn't fix itself after you log out and back in, maybe try calling the admissions office?
Right there with you
Received and submitted today! OOS, verified 6/22. Hoping for some good news from them!
Finally got secondary today 🙂
