Very heavy EC and mission fit screen

Those who received secondaries

How long after your primary was received did you get the invite?

1 day

Have they sent more secondaries? I have yet to receive one and I live 15 minutes from the campus...

they sent a few more this month

I know Drew screens really heavily, and there is not much on my primary that would tell them I'm a good fit. I'm applying bc I got sober in South Central, but I'm definitely not telling other schools about my sobriety. I kind of want to send them an update with this information bc they will reject me likely either way, but do we think there is any way this information gets out or they share it with another school?

From my understanding, they care a lot about mission fit and how that is demonstrated throughout your primary application. An update letter that shows your efforts to advance health equity would be stronger in my opinion. Getting sober in South Central could be an add-on. I don’t know how they would interpret that. If you reflect on it in a way they like, perhaps it could help you. And no, they would not share that information with other schools. You also might want to email them and ask if they even consider update letters for sending out secondaries.

yes I would definitely write about other things in the letter, I just think that is a nice connection to bring up since the area is known for its recovery and they look for location ties :) thanks for your input! I figure its a R if I don't so I might as well.

It’s been 5 days since they got my primary and science, but I fit their mission

That’s so scary
