What impressed you positively?

One of the nicest admissions staff that I've experienced. Also, the school is completely wireless (first in the country, I think?). It's this nice, warm, technologically-advanced compound with fountains and peaceful-looking hallways and really nice lecture halls. Also, very diverse student body that seems to be very supportive to each other and active in extracurricular activities. A lot of non-traditional students.

What impressed you negatively?

Kind of a small campus. Also, students there kept saying how unsafe the surrounding area is.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The medical school is pretty far from Drexel University main campus. About 20 minutes by car.

What are your general comments?

Sat in a room full of other interviewees and watched a Powerpoint presentation for about 40 minutes. Took a long tour (1hr) and then returned to the room. Waited some more. Was interviewed by a student after a long time waiting, over lunch. Then was interviewed by faculty. Then watched a lecture on substance abuse. Caught a train back to airport (train station across the street).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
