This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Just received a pre-II hold. 🙁
Based on what I have seen from previous years this is a soft-R
I'm sorry 😢 I wouldn't completely lose hope, but it might be good to focus on other schools right now. When did you submit your secondary?
 
how is everyone doing prompt 1?? such an odd prompt. i understand stood it as like “X experience taught me this, Y experience taught me this…” any recommendations??
I don't see how I can write things that I haven't already wrote in my primary. Was that everyone else's experience with the first prompt?

i think they mean talk about stuff on primary but also explain stuff that you didnt mention on there if there is anything
 
i focused on every element except opportunity. I couldn't think of one for opportunity. Word count killed me too. I answered why Drexel in the first half and then how I met their mission in the second half
did u explicitly state ur mission fit or j weave it into ur why without explicitly stating it
 
Hi, did you all received an email for application complete or in the portal at all. Mine does not say anything and says after all information is received then will be complete. But all are there.

Hmmm, something might be missing from your application. When I submitted the secondary, I got an "application complete" email.

"pre holds" seem to be 'we reject you categorically before reviewing your secondary due to primary app reasons but we got your cash' if you don't have anything other than complete you're probably fine for now.
 
for those of you who uploaded transcripts, what did you select in the drop down? there is no option for transcript it looks like
 
I haven't gotten a hold or II yet and I was completed 7/5. Either they're deciding what to do with my application or they're holding off on sending more IIs until they've opened more interview slots. We'll find out in the next 2 weeks which it is.

im under the impression Drexel has not sent out any II yet ?
 
what’s the latest submission date for ppl who have gotten notified of holds so far?
 
Regarding the question in Academic History that asks about breaks (If you took time off that was outside of the normal breaks, where normal breaks include summer break, please answer yes and use the drop down box to explain. Do not use this box to explain activities after college.)
-- What if you took a gap year between undergrad and a masters program? Should I detail what I did in that year between?

After college is any time after graduation! It says not to explain after college. This question is talking about leaves of absence/taking a semester off, etc. in my opinion.
