I think it needs to be marked as received on the applicationHey everyone! Quick question: When the application states all material must be received in the admissions office by April 29, 2022, does it mean it should be marked received on my portal or as long as I sent it in before the 29th? Because I sent in my transcripts but they are not marked as received and it's driving me crazy
You are allowed to upload unofficial transcripts to the portal and it will be marked complete. Per their website, you only need official transcripts after an interview is grantedHey everyone!

Yes
Everyone says to be patient. I was marked as complete a few days after some got interview invites, but my portal still says a decision hasn’t been made. There’s still plenty of hope. Just tucker through these next few weeks ❤️
I don’t think so. I asked this question prior to my interview, “In addition, I have a question regarding Casper. I took the exam on 6/29/2021 and released the results to the Drexel University College of Medicine as a part of the 21/22 MD application cycle. Is this score sufficient for the purposes of this program? If so, is my initial release of the score still valid or do I need to re-release?”
You could also email they they are very responsive!
I called cause I heard about the program late and literally just submitted it last night. They say as long as you sent it by the 29th you're okay. The processing time on their end to retrieve all the info doesn't count.Hey everyone!

So technically we can still submit things today... right? One of my letter writers is going to submit their letter this afternoon, I really hope today counts.
yes, I believe so! if not, i'm screwed haha :')
I’m pretty sure you can. I submitted last night and submitting my LORs this afternoon. Maybe call and check to confirm receipt?
They don't need official transcripts until you've been accepted. Since you've already emailed it as well, I'd say be patient because they need time to go through all email submissions. Especially since it's close to the deadline, their inbox is probably inundated. As @mberm.17 said above, the processing time on their end to retrieve all the info doesn't count. Most likely, they're going through and matching your uploaded transcript grades to ones you submitted via the form.
It should be under checklist instructions
I’m in the same boat. Lower than what I expected due to calculating my retakes into it.My bcpm gpa is well below what they recommend, its 2.5
Is anyone else on the same boat or know of anyone ever accepted that had a similar gpa?
just looking for a glimmer of hope lol
It was marked complete. In case anyone freaks out for this reason. Goodluck y'all.
I'm in the same boat but remember this program is geared towards students who lack in certain areas. Don't beat yourself up.My bcpm gpa is well below what they recommend, its 2.5

That confused me too but unless you send official transcripts, then it won’t be marked as received 🫠
That wasn't the case for me... I submitted a literal PDF of all the courses I've taken and it's all fine and dandy.
I used Interfolio to submit all three of my LORs. The turn around time was like 1-2 days from when you submitted it to when it was listed as received in the portal. My last LOR was submitted on 04/27/22 and this morning it was updated as received just for context.
yes, they do
They do, and any deposits you may pay during this process (they may have different timelines) are transferable.
Yeah everything needed turned in on the 29th.
Did you send in your scores before or on the 29th? If so, it probably means that since you've already technically submitted your scores by the deadline, it's not in your hands if AAMC hasn't sent it in yet or if DPMS hasn't verified/processed the scores yet. I'm also an applicant so I'm just speculating, but that might be what it is.
This is what I’m thinking. My LORs sent before midnight thankfully and it’s likely sitting in their inbox waiting for them to manually sort through and confirm receipt.
i did send them before so im praying it counts. I've emailed them to confirm but no response yet.
Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much. They'll get to it when they get to it, you did your part in submitting it before the deadline and notifying them.
