💬 Interview Questions

No responses

What was the most interesting question?

nothing really interesting

What was the most difficult question?

Do you think undocumented immigrants should be allowed access to health care? I didn't really want to be pegged as super controversial, so I said that I would personally find it very difficult to turn away anyone who needed health care. And then he said, "But you didn't answer my question, I asked a simple yes or no question." He was basically trying to box me into a corner, because when I said yes, then he said "But isn't it unfair for them to get the same advantages of citizens?" The entire interview was like that....I was so stressed out when we finished.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read a lot about Penn's medical malpractice problems.

What impressed you positively?

This school is very electronically connected; very nice that students can view the lecture from a remote location while the lecture is going on.

What impressed you negatively?

Geez...the library was really really small, cause all the articles and journals are on the web.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There is a SEPTA subway terminal right next to the school. And not all the interviews were held on campus; some interviewees were shuttled to the hospital in downtown Philli.

What are your general comments?

Everyone said that Drexel was very low stress; I think I just happened to get an interviewer who asked questions for shock value. Although we did have a nice discussion on the state of health care in the United States. The student interview was very low key. Nothing interesting there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
