What was the most difficult question?

Honestly, the hardest question was whether or not I had any questions for her...most had already been answered in the informational session and I had to think fast to come up with another one.

What impressed you positively?

Facilities are great, very state of the art. The students were outgoing and welcoming, and had really good things to say about being there. Drexel also seems to have a lot of opportunities for clinical exposure in years 3 and 4, and also seem to provide a lot of guidance to people who go into medical school with no idea what kind of medicine they want to practice (like me).

What impressed you negatively?

The location is pretty remote, and getting there is a pain. You either have to live in Center City, where its more expensive and you have to commute to school, or live by school which is in the middle of a residential neighborhood and where a car is essential. I was also a little unclear about the school's accrediation, having merged with so many partners over the last ten years.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How annoying the trains are to get out to the school. Especially on Sundays (they run every hour and a half). I would highly recommend staying in one of the bed-and-breakfasts the school recommends, just to save a headache or an expensive cab ride on the morning of your interview.

What are your general comments?

My faculty interviewer was great, very warm and non-threatening. The interview was mainly a conversation, with her inquiring about different points in my application, asking me to clarify the timing of things and to describe in more detail some of my work experiences. It was a very relaxed environment. My student interviewer was awesome, so nice and had a lot of great things to say about the school. He asked more pointed questions than my faculty interviewer, such as what brought me to the decision to become a doctor, and if I were on an admissions committee, how would I screen out the people who were in it for the wrong reasons. We talked for almost and hour, and I really enjoyed this part of the day. Overall, I was impressed by the school and the people in it, and would recommend checking it out if you get the chance. Another plus, they get back to you within six weeks of your interview with a decision.
