For the largest private medical school in the country, Drexel has a really SMALL library.

What are your general comments?

The people I met were very interesting. As a high school student, I really had little clue of stuff like residency and the USMLEs. The other interviewees gave me the inside scoop on how medical school works and some of their postgraduate work they were doing. My interviewer was really nice and he even came from my hometown! Definately a positive interview experience.
