Last secondary received and submitted. Time to sit back and relax (read: neurotically check email) for the rest of summer. Best of luck all!

Same here. Done for the season. Now to checking email and Application Status, in case they forgot to send an II (or Reject for all it matters) email 🙂

Thanks everyone for the heads-up on crashes. Saved evey chance. Painful to go back and "Chick Here" to get back in the Application. All is well that ends well!!!

Good Luck everyone!!

When I check my status on this secondary, it still says that my application status is incomplete, showing that they have yet to submit a supplemental application.. Is anyone dealing with this same issue? I submitted my secondary about 2 weeks ago.

Submitted last night. When I logged in this morning, I see in the Status / Decision it says:
Application Status: Incomplete

Is this what you mean?

 

[BrightonDoc]

Anyone still waiting? Verified mid-July. . .

 

[DoctorInVivo]

Yep

 

[trini818]

I am still waiting for the secondary. Verified 7/28. They probably send them out in batches so they do not get overwhelmed.

 

[orangetea]

They send them to all applicants so yours is coming

 

[SSSMDt]

So will this school accept additional LORs to a committee letter? I am submitting my committee letter to the school but also have a letter from a primary care physician that I scribe for who went to Drexel..

Will they accept this additional letter?

 

[bumblebee611]

I am still waiting for the secondary. Verified 7/28. They probably send them out in batches so they do not get overwhelmed.

I am also still waiting for a secondary or any acknowledgement of having applied--I added Drexel a little late, on 8/2, after my AMCAS had been verified in mid June and all my letters in.

Did anyone else get an email about having to fix the experience part of the secondary?

Whattt, how long after you submitted did you get this?

 

[slatewater]

I submitted my secondary on July 24th, but just got an email a few minutes ago asking me to re-do the hours for the experience part. Seems like they had an issue on their end with populating the experiences and total hours or something? Was wondering if this was just me..

blah, my application was weird the whole time with hours disappearing and stuff...wouldn't be surprised if I get that email soon.

 

[casualrunner001]

The hour thing happened to me. See post 286. Pretty sure I was complete before that, though I'd have to check.

I got that too. It seems like they changed that one section for everyone who submitted before August?

When i had this problem i didnt actually submit it. Oops.

Yes exactly, and also under requirements at the bottom there is no received date for supplemental application. Maybe it had something to do with the re-do hours thing, but if not it's weird that it hasn't been updated for two weeks.

I did not get a re-do email. Checked again just now.

Application Status: Complete

 

[ubermevin]

Oh man. For one of the activities, I entered the hours per week wrong....It was supposed to be 3 hours every two weeks but instead I said 3 hours a week....LOL..The dates on Drexel only accounts for the start of a month and not the end. So I just divided everything without thinking...what was I thinking? lol

 

[highonlife]

*whistling in a corner* Still no secondary.

 

[neuroresearchguy23]

[SallySue1202]

Hopefully mine is coming soon. I was also verified 7/29

 

[DoctorInVivo]

Anyone know when this school will start sending out IIs?

 

[Ox King]

Anyone know when this school will start sending out IIs?

In the past, they seemed to have sent them out in late august/early september at the earliest. However, it might be different this year because they sent out secondaries way earlier than normal.

 

[highonlife]

AMCAS verified: 7/17
No secondary here either. They said to wait up to 4 weeks on their website. So if I don't get it within the next day or so I'm gonna call.

I got mine incredibly late yesterday. It'll come eventually

My AMCAS was verified on 7/15 and just received the secondary yesterday on 8/16.... so a solid four weeks.

 

[piii]

Finally got my secondary on sunday.. after being verified on 7/18

 

[UnBearable]

Verified by AMCAS 7/14, just received secondary today. Hopefully this gives other folks who have yet to receive a secondary some hope.

 

[coatiboti]

Got my secondary 08/17 late in the day, I was verified 07/02.

 

[positiveprotons]

Where exactly does it say application is complete for you guys? For me I go the "Application Summary" page and at the bottom I see the dates that they received my MCAT, Letter and II..

 

[DoctorInVivo]

II?

When do you guys think this school will start sending out some IIs?

 

[nwts]

I don't think they did until September last year.

 

[allanMED15]

Secondary submitted. Had no issues surprisingly.

 

[highonlife]

Just got the secondary tonight! I was so happy to see it, it was like getting an II.
(Or at least what I imagine getting an II would feel like...)

 

[oryoloblast]

hey guys I am having trouble deciding which experiences to select for community and clinical. Did you guys include shadowing as clinical? I am not sure since I did not exactly directly work with the patients but I did have patient contact.

I put shadowing as clinical.

 

[oryoloblast]

I put shadowing as clinical.

thanks!

 

[oryoloblast]

another quick question. did the application status change to complete right after submission and payment or did it take some time for them to check it?

 

[rukia013]

For me it took a few business days I think (I'm not neurotic enough to check multiple times a day so I don't remember the exact time frame but it wasn't immediate).

 

[pbrocks15]

For those out there with the Application Status: Incomplete but already submitted/payed, did you guys figure out what the problem is/was?

Mine is still "Incomplete" even though I submitted the secondary and paid.

[jordan222]

+2 but it sounds like it just takes a few days to update. I wouldn't worry.

 

[trini818]

Just received my secondary. Verified on 7/28.

 

[dfabarton]

Received my secondary today. Verified 7/24.
