True Drexel is more of a service oriented school anyways, whereas my app is more research focused. Better luck on the next one. Good luck this cycle!

Just submitted my secondary. Should I upload my resume? Seems like a waste of their time because there is nothing on my resume that isn't covered in greater detail on my primary.

For secondaries - anyone know if I can reset the academic history page? Of course, I didn't read directions and added high school/uni information. Then I realized they only need the info for "new" academics since my initial application was submitted. I don't want them to think I never read instructions, I just read them too late...

if you have submitted....just wait now.
A rushed submission is not always your best, and on future ones save your work, think overnight, and go back to read the instructions once more before sending it in
 
IS. LM 71. Got a hold after submitting on 8/28. Just goes to show they do NOT review these in order

Does anyone know for prompt #2, if we need to mention all elements? Like how our experiences allowed us to meet each of them?

Also, to meet "diversity", is it more like a "diversity essay" that I need to explain how I could contribute to the diversity of the class? Or is it referring to how I can show that I'm capable to interacting people with diverse background?

Thanks !!

I don't think they expect us to explain how we meet all of the criteria. It's just too hard in 1500 characters. So I just picked two that I focused most of my energy on and then sprinkled in a sentence about two more elements. For the diversity aspect, I would say it's up to your interpretation because their mission involves a "culture of diversity" so it can go both ways.
 
IS II!! Complete 07/15 Title of the email scared me a bit lol, p sure it was the same title as my rejection last year

Hey all, I know the first day of interviews is tomorrow so just wanted to congratulate you all! Relax and try to enjoy it, all the interviewers want is to get to know who you are off the paper so just bring your authentic self.

And remember, this is just the beginning of the interview season - I have plenty of classmates who didn't interview here until March or even April.
