Hi guys, this might sound like a dumb question, but how are you guys checking the status of your application. Is there a portal? Thanks

There is a portal where you initially submitted the secondary. Just click the "status" tab and you should see your status.
Thank you!
If they wanted to reject you they would reject you. It’s exactly what they say it is- a hold. They want to look at your app later on when they can compare it to more people, some people will get II’s after getting put on hold and some won’t

wow I just realized that was a neurotic question ...i’m truly ashamed of myself
It’s ok- this process breeds neuroticism, we’re all right there with you. You’ve put in a lot of work to get this far, be proud of what you’ve accomplished! At least that’s what I try to tell myself

II received 08/20 for MD/MPH. complete 08/08, 3.67 513 OOS
Wow! That’s quick!! Congrats!
I'm submitting my primary today and want to get my secondary all squared away. Quick question about the 1st prompt-- should it actually say if you are NOT a recent grad? I graduated a few years back, but definitely want to still answer this question...help! thanks!
Id go ahead and answer it.
thanks!

ive been complete since 7/6 and still no word 🙁
Complete since 7/9 and no word. Can't tell if that's good news or bad news lol
Ugh same. And rejections last year didn’t go out for forever. The waiting game begins.

How long does it take for casper to appear on the portal? I sent in my casper score 2 weeks ago and it still hasn't been received apparently.
I did three max for each. Believe it said to do no more than 3
Complete 7/15. Still nothing.
I took it to mean that each individual class can only be assigned to three competency categories. I believe you can have as many classes listed under 'BIOL,' 'CHEM,' etc. as you like.

Complete 8/13, received an email today about being put on hold Pre-II. Consoling myself by telling myself that at least I wasn't flat out rejected....

I'd rather not go into too much detail but I'm a NonTrad with a low undergrad sGPA, Graduate sGPA of 3.8 and MCAT 508. Really an on the fence applicant all around tbh. Fingers crossed something or another works out this cycle!
What exactly are “in the area” emails? I feel very lost in this whole application process lol

Lol from my understanding, (and anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!) "in the area" emails are emails you write to schools that you have not received an interview at. So let's say you applied to alot of schools in a certain area (like Pennsylvania, New York, or DC), but you only received an interview invite at one of those schools and have not heard back from others. In an effort to save time and money, you can write an "in the area" request emails to those other schools hoping they will let you know if they plan to interview you and if so to do it at a certain time when you will be in the area. Hope this helps.
Thank you for clarifying!

Did anybody recognize that Drexel is only sending II's on Tuesdays and Thursdays, according to the thread? Unless i missed some dates.
YES! Every other school has it. Does anyone know if they're receiving CASPER scores, but just not updating the portal to reflect that?
Edit- based on the thread, it looks like they just take a while to update the portal 🙁

YES. Same thing happened to me, and it's still "not received"

is that different than the rest of the holds people have been getting?
I think it’s the same.
On hold as of just now 🙁 complete early July
Same here, hopefully we get some good news from them later in the cycle.
I’m hopeful because I read last year that people got rejected outright without a hold.... so, at least we’re not rejected yet.
