Anyone still not have a green checkmark?

Is AMCAS having trouble sending them our committee letters, or LORS?

 

[phillipsmurfy]

This is something you could inquire about during an interview.

I work at a medical school now so I get like 3 emails a day with announcements that start with "SCHOOL OF MEDICINE" and I have a near heart attack. Not good for my health.

 

[hopeful2Bdoc]

has anybody else still not gotten a secondary yet..?

You should probably call admissions.

Hey, for the letters of recommendation, would they accept a letter from a MD as a substitute for a non-science faculty letter? I graduated college 2 years ago and it would be hard to find professors to write that letter for me.

Just email them. I have done this for 3 schools because I also graduated a while ago. All have said yes it's fine. Honestly it seems like letters don't matter that much...

Yeah I went ahead and emailed them but posted here in case someone already found out.

Does anyone know when Drexel or any of the Pennsylvania schools start reviewing applications/sending out initial IIs?

 

[russon12]

worth applying here with 3.44/3.19 gpa/sgpa 519 MCAT and extensive research. OOS but i have a clinical reserach job in philly during my gap year

 

[studentdr12]

Do they give out II even if you have not sent your LOR's to the school? I am waiting on my third letter but I have submitted the secondary.

LOL thinking way too far ahead

Can anyone familiar with the school help me out? This was under the accelerated programs sections but makes it sound like its requirements for all students. Are these really their admissions requirements?

These seem more strict than the regular admissions requirements..

****, I hope not. So they're saying the minimum acceptable MCAT is a 511? Seems ungodly strict

ya see thats what I'm sayin. And it couldn't be unbalanced either. Tried calling admissions but of course they closed at noon hah

I think they're just for the accelerated track. If you look on MSAR they totalllly accepted people with varied/lower scores

I was just saying the wording made it sound like starting with the 2018 acceptances those were their expectations

Hi Ciestar, thanks for reaching out!! Would you know if Drexel is open to in-the-area emails? Thanks for your help 🙂

Has anyone not received a secondary yet? I was verified two weeks ago and this is the last school that I have not received one from.

Try calling the school, I've read on threads that schools with automatic secondaries will send one if you call.

I called and they told me it was sent out on 7/10 but I never received it so they sent a new email out right away

 

[MarineMDHopeful]

[pewpew95]

does this school send out a separate completion status email? or is our 'complete' the same as when we submit the secondary?
