Take that all back, I just got an email saying they're changing the process this year so we will all see.
Thanks so much!!Plenty to do in Center City. Definitely recommend Reading Terminal Market f you're in town early enough. Great places to eat are literally everywhere, just use Yelp to fine cuisine you're hungry for.
I also submitted that day and am OOS, but haven't heard anything. Would you mind sharing your stats?
Congrats! May I ask what your LizzyM is, and if IS or OOS?HEYOOOO. II just now![]()

My bad guys, I always forget to add the important deets. Complete 7/12, OOS af, LM at a modest 66-68. Lol
How strict are they LOR requirements? The secondary portal says 3 letters from professors, 2 from science and one from a non-Science. I have 5 letters in total. 2 from science professors, 1 from a research mentor, 1 from my current boss, and 1 from a doctor I shadowed for 80+ hours. I graduated 2 years ago so letters from professors are not easy to come by.
It's not too late if I submit my secondary for this school tomorrow is it?
I know the deadline is December or January 2017 for most secondaries, but I've been told to send secondaries in 2-3 days after you get them for most schools; that's considered "early."
I got Drexel's August 5th (so a month ago). Plus, I've been submitting secondaries to 5 other schools within that amount of time.
Yikes, ok!Long story short - I would recommend you go ahead and submit. You may not be submitting "early" but by no means are you late.
The recommended completion time frames that are quoted here are often just best practices - you're not docked for submitting past 2 days or 2 weeks. The commonly accepted absolute date for an "early" secondary submission for most schools is Labor Day.
I would just play it safe and cut it down.Yikes, ok!
One more question: my responses to Drexel's essay prompts go over the 200 word limit by 69 and 41 words.When I press save, my essays aren't cut off (surprisingly). Does that mean that the 200 word limit was only recommended?
I would just play it safe and cut it down.
Hm...but I went over the 600 word limit for Duke by about the same amountI would just play it safe and cut it down.
There are something called word limits for a reason, I'm sure @Goro or other adcoms can comment but I don't see why they would choose to interview you when you can't follow basic instructions.Hm...but I went over the 600 word limit for Duke by about the same amount
I'll see if I can cut it down.
Thanks!

Does drexel do yield protection?I applied here today. LM of 73. Hoping they don't screen me out for a high MCAT! I would love to go here! A little worried about the nearly 14k apps but somebody gets admitted right?

I'm having an issue with my secondary. Even though I completed everything and paid the fee, but my MCAT is showing up as "not completed." I submitted my scores etc. through AMCAS already. I called Drexel and they said there was a problem with their system. Anyone else have the same issue or is it just me?
Complete 8/9... still haven't heard anything from Drexel![]()
