What was the most difficult question?

Why did I receive a low grade in one of my science courses. The faculty interviewer was very nice when she asked me, told me it was just a formality that she had to ask.

What impressed you positively?

The people. Admissions staff was wonderful, the physicians and students I met were very warm, welcoming and happy with Drexel. Also the curriculum was a lot more desirable than I thought it would be.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Everyone agreed the the surrounding neighborhoods can be unsafe at night. The school provides security transport however, should you need to get home late at night.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The R8 train from 30th street stations is really slow. Leave plenty of time if you are taking it in the morning, or take the free shuttle to campus from Hahnemann hospital.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

This was my first interview, and it really put me at ease. The people are great, the interviews are really positive and they basically just want to get to know you better and see that you are a genuine person. One faculty interview in the AM, then lunch with a student around noon. The informational presentation is thorough, and you get a good sense of the two curricular pathways you can choose as a first year.
