LOL this so cute, it's like a public service announcement. "I repeat" haha
Part of me still thinks this is a cruel joke, because I havn't received anything from Drexel yet. But still, I am glad that I can expect it soon. Especially since there are no essays!!! What are their LOR requirements? 2 sci and 1 non-sci?
To the folks who got the secondary-
Were you already verified? I haven't received it yet, and Drexel was on my AMCAS list.

I can relate - I have the MCAT on Saturday. Like I said in the non-trad forum, I alternate between periods of cautious optimism and feeling like I'm going to vomit on my shoes.

Alright so with all this "invite" talk, does Drexel screen? I am almost sure that MSAR said it doesn't...

You are correct, the MSAR says they do not.
no, they definitely do NOT screen.....
and i'm pissed that i didn't get this secondary yet seeing as how I was verified on JUNE 7th.... yes, June! not only that, but i live less than 2 miles away from drexel med! grrrrrrrrrr.
I'd love to know how they decide when and where and to who to send this crap.

Does Drexel take credit cards or normal checks or some funky C.O.D.?
Is it all online or is it a fill in the PDF sort of thing?

Still have not heard from them. 🙁
they dont mention what credit card they accept, and when you try to pay they dont ask you which you are using

One nice thing about their application, which I haven't seen any other schools offer, is that you can pick and choose which pieces to do electronically and which to mail in. So for the application, picture, and payment you can do some online, some by mail, all online, whatever works for you.
