How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Talked to current students at different med schools, read the website, re-read secondary application, looked up current events.

What impressed you positively?

Everything, from the speakers to the students impressed me, everyone seemed to really believe in the drew mission. The interviewer I had really knew my application, so he didn't end up asking me things I had already answered in my apps, mostly more personal questions than anyhing else, and he seemed very interested in my answers.

What impressed you negatively?

Yes, its true what they say about the waiting... I was one of the first people interviewed and still I had to wait around until 1pm when they finally told us that we could go. But I was kinda expecting it so it wasn't so bad.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing after reading the reviews here.

What are your general comments?

Overall very positive, I got a very good impression of the school, and the quality of the program. It is also a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere, very good if you are a jittery interviewee like myself. If you really want to help the community than Drew is a good place for you...
