Anyone still not have a green checkmark?

Is AMCAS having trouble sending them our committee letters, or LORS?

I work at a medical school now so I get like 3 emails a day with announcements that start with "SCHOOL OF MEDICINE" and I have a near heart attack. Not good for my health.

Hey, for the letters of recommendation, would they accept a letter from a MD as a substitute for a non-science faculty letter? I graduated college 2 years ago and it would be hard to find professors to write that letter for me.

Just email them. I have done this for 3 schools because I also graduated a while ago. All have said yes it's fine. Honestly it seems like letters don't matter that much...

Yeah I went ahead and emailed them but posted here in case someone already found out.
 
Does anyone know when Drexel or any of the Pennsylvania schools start reviewing applications/sending out initial IIs?

Do they give out II even if you have not sent your LOR's to the school? I am waiting on my third letter but I have submitted the secondary.

Hey :) I am hoping to apply for the next cycle :) what are some things I should pay more attention to? When is he best time to start applying? Thanks!!
 
Can anyone familiar with the school help me out? This was under the accelerated programs sections but makes it sound like its requirements for all students. Are these really their admissions requirements?

These seem more strict than the regular admissions requirements..

****, I hope not. So they're saying the minimum acceptable MCAT is a 511? Seems ungodly strict

I think they're just for the accelerated track. If you look on MSAR they totalllly accepted people with varied/lower scores

thats what I figured. just the "starting in 2018" kinda caught my attention

Is that not when the program starts? Im not familiar with it so :)

I was just saying the wording made it sound like starting with the 2018 acceptances those were their expectations

Hi Ciestar, thanks for reaching out!! Would you know if Drexel is open to in-the-area emails? Thanks for your help :)
 
Has anyone not received a secondary yet? I was verified two weeks ago and this is the last school that I have not received one from.

Try calling the school, I've read on threads that schools with automatic secondaries will send one if you call.

does this school send out a separate completion status email? or is our 'complete' the same as when we submit the secondary?
