How did you prepare for the interview?

I read people comments on SDN, wrote out and answered typical questions, Drexel website (very informative), asked someone who had interviewed a little earlier about their experience, went over AMCAS, resume

What impressed you positively?

everything...I loved it..the faculty is so involved and you really feel the sense of community that exists between the students, faculty and admissions staff, the facilities are amazing, they really are technologically savvy, I really liked the fact that everything is open to students 24 hrs/day, housing is reasonable, and I enjoyed the fact that they really get a chance to know you beyond your numbers and really read through your entire application, and the guidance given through advisors, Bigs and the Pathway program are really impressive

What impressed you negatively?

absolutely nothing negatively impressed me about Drexel, I am hoping to be accepted there because it is definitely my top choice, and I can see myself fitting in there so well :)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, I think it was fitting that this was my last interview...I had it scheduled since December...I wish that the decision process was sooner...but I am willing to wait :)

What are your general comments?

This was probably my best interview experience...I came in with a great view of what Drexel Univ SOM was like...and left even more in love with the school, the opportunities, faculty and students.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
