Does it say your application is complete when you login?

Does it say your application is complete when you login?

Where exactly? If you mean on the Application Summary page, then yes, it says complete.

I think you're good then, in the same boat- no email, but complete on the login

Same boat, I submitted way back in July and no complete email despite being marked so in the portal.

I'm just curious and hoping for some advice, but I have an interview at Jefferson in October and I haven't booked tickets just yet. I was wondering if it's silly to e-mail Drexel about being in the area considering they haven't started giving out interviews just yet. What do you all think? Has anyone already done this?

 

[DoctorInVivo]

II! OOS!

 

[grey_wind]

II! OOS!

Congrats! Email or portal?

 

[grey_wind]

II! OOS!

Also did you receive a complete email first?

 

[DoctorInVivo]

Via portal. And no I never got a complete email

 

[grey_wind]

Ah cool! Where on the portal ???

 

[DoctorInVivo]

Sign in and click on the Status/Decision button!

 

[grey_wind]

ah nothing yet, oh well, when were you complete?

 

[DoctorInVivo]

I submitted my secondary on 8/6

 

[DoctorInVivo]

Your II will come soon brother!

 

[grey_wind]

Your II will come soon brother!

Fingers crossed- happy for you!

 

[bumblebee611]

Congrats to DoctorInVivo ... on a less exciting note, I got a complete email from them about 5 days ago but my status on the portal still indicates nothing received (MCAT, letters etc.) even though it's all been there for ages. (I added Drexel late in the process and essentially had everything into AMCAS and ready for download on 7/24.) Anyone else in this situation?

 

[Master3930]

I also submitted 08/06 never got a complete email. Could I possibly assume this means an II is in my future?

 

[ReadyforMed]

II! OOS!

Any other stats you would mind sharing?
I anxiously just checked mine. Still complete with no decision. Sad day

 

[RudyRude]

II! OOS!

Joining in on this II chorus. My first one! Complete around 8/6. LizzyM 71

Dates available through October.
I'm way more excited inside than I am conveying over text cuz I still have to be professional at work in front of patients lol.

 

[Above&Beyond]

Can anyone with an II tell us when the first available interview date is? Interviewing at Jefferson in 2 weeks and want to see if I can even send them an in the area email.

 

[Master3930]

I never received a complete email and hearing everyone else get II's I want mine so badly. since it seems like those without the complete email have been the ones to receive the II's

 

[Gregory House the real MD]

people with II do you just check the portal? or got an email? what time during the day lol I was complete 8/6 🙁

 

[akl54]

[golfman7]

Congrats guys on the interviews! No decision yet for me but I remain hopeful.

 

[Master3930]

I think it said it was complete on the portal, but the last email from them before this was a payment confirmation

i feel like a no complete email but complete on the portal is a good thing..

 

[lcm2020]

How was your interview last cycle if you don't mind me asking?

 

[MolonLabe16]

[Master3930]

Did everyone who is posting now receive their II's earlier this afternoon or are they still coming in??

I received mine a little after 5pm.

I appreciate that they put the prices of rooms for their host hotels + transportation offerings. Good on you, Drexel.

 

[riguy16]

II OOS! Excited!

 

[Master3930]

II OOS! Excited!

Complete email?

 

[KagawaFan]

How was your interview last cycle if you don't mind me asking?

If it is the same as last year, the day starts off with a written essay (MMI-like question). Then there's a tour, which mine was cut off because I was one of a handful of students that day that had to go to Center City for our interview instead of staying at Queens Lane. It wasn't too bad, just had to take the provided DUCOM shuttle there. My interview was with a research professor and I know another interviewee was slotted in between patients with a physician! The questions I were asked were general: Tell me about yourself. Why medicine? And other questions related specifically to my application. @DoctorInVivo Hope the interview goes well for all of us!
