Status checker

Is anyone else having a problem with Drew's status checker? D keeps trying to see if everything is has been received, but the birthdate field is weird and can't be typed on. The numbers just fly all over the place.

I would not know, as I have not recieved a "status checker" online from Drew. I recieved a letter about two weeks ago saying my application was complete and ready for review.

When did your daughter send in her applications? Perhaps I sent mine in so early they didn't bother giving me an online checker.

As far as I can tell, the checker is available to all applicants. The link appears on the left-hand side of the screen at some point when you're clicking through the admissions screens.

It was previously working fine, but as zoosermom notes, it's now acting up (birthday field to be precise). I thought of calling, but we did get a letter confirming everthing was in, so I forgot about it.

I might give them a call and ask what's up.

I may have her do that. She applied over a month ago and hasn't heard a word from them.

I applied a month ago to and also havent heard back. I use Mozilla Firefox so it saves my entries so that I dont have to retype them but I noticed the same thing about the date box

I go to drew and I see the problem that you are having. When I return from break, I will go to the admissions office and tell them about this problem so that they can get it fixed. Sorry for this problem that you guys are having.

Wow. That's awfully nice of you. If you're representative of your schoolmates, that's quite impressive.

I found a work around. Type the birthdate into a Word document in the proper format and copy it. Then put your cursor in the box on the web page, right click and select paste.

Well we no longer have to wonder if everything has been received.

D got her acceptance and scholarship notiication this afternoon. SHe is over the moon.
