Got it, thank you! One thing I wanted to know is what does Drexel consider to be a highly competitive applicant? Like, do they focus more on research vs. community service, how much weight they put on MCAT, that sort of thing. Thank you for sharing.

I know service in underserved populations is important to Drexel.
 
Just got an email that I was placed on a hold. Complete 7/28

Edit: Just = 10 AM PT
 
on the upload section of the secondary, it offers the option to upload a CV. Has anyone done this?

I'm at an interview tips session right now for Drexel. The speaker (who is on the adcom) said they are screening rn and IIs will go out next week or the week after! Manifesting good vibes for you all.

P.S. Here is your reminder to drink water, unclench your jaw, and step away from SDN for a bit ❤️

+1 Pre II hold. Does anyone know if Drexel has interviewed people on their hold list in the past?

I submitted my secondary, got an email it was complete, on 7/10. Has anyone else not heard back and also applied early?

Complete 07/01 and haven't heard back yet. There was a poster above that said an adcom member stated IIs will start coming out next week or the week after.

What are my fellow non-trads writing for the first prompt? I am definitely not a recent graduate. Should I just write about what I'm doing currently?

Is the second prompt optional? I wasn't super impacted by COVID so I'm not quite sure what to put here.

Might be a bit late to ask especially since my AMCAS app was held up for quite a bit but for the first prompt.

I am a nontraditional (graduated 2016) who worked as an MA for quite some time for years till now. This is written in my work/ experience so I'm wondering if the first prompt applies to me at all or if i should write "N/A"?

Is the second prompt also specific only to COVID? I do have some other things I wanted to talk about that is not really related to COVID.
 
I submitted 7/3 but only got the completed email on 7/17 due to waiting for Casper score. Still haven’t heard anything. I have very strong ties to the school though so I’m not sure if not hearing anything yet is a good or bad thing.
 
Had two friends placed on Hold at Drexel last year and the only correspondence they received after that was a Rejection in the spring. Looking on threads from previous years and it doesn't look like people get taken off Hold for the most part. This is probably because as more applications become available and they fill their class, they have less seats available to take people off Hold from or the waitlist

Sooo it's better to have no communication than to be on hold?
 
Is it possible to apply for the MD MPH while attending school at Drexel, or is that something you need to have decided 100% as an applicant? I have this question about a LOT of schools actually and wondering how schools usually approach it

Pretty sure you have the opportunity to apply until the end of M1, but not too sure
 
Approximately how long after verification did you all get the secondary? Added DUCOM to AMCAS recently, so I was wondering what the wait would be.
