Too bad I'm having trouble accessing their secondary online. I can only get the PDF file. The ASP doesn't seem to be working for me. Anyone else having this problem?
 
did you get invited?
 
i didn't get anything yet?

Did they email you or did you get something by snail mail?
 
maybe they're sending it in chunks...that's what other schools did and of course i panicked then, too.
 
we panick when we don't receive secondaries from non-screeners?

And we want to be doctors....
 
I just received an e-mail in the last couple hours. You guys should be getting it soon. There is no essay. I repeat, NO ESSAY.

All my secondaries are finally in, thank god. Now I only have 5 more left to fill out. I wish schools would freaking screen.

LOL this so cute, it's like a public service announcement. "I repeat" haha
 
so do you just submit it online? and how much is the fee/how do you pay it?
 
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.
 
i love checking my email evey 5 minutes
 
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. :meanie:
 
Snowboarder or anyone?

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?
 
$75 online or send check options for the fee

trying to submit secondary online but its not working...cannot connect to the server...maybe it is down during non businessness hours?

no essay...just retype work/activities section from amcas app
 
finally got drexel. and let me just say-- most ******ed secondary ever! although, i wouldn't expect much else from them.

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.
