3 out of 10

What are your general comments?
I was initially uneasy due to Drexel's financial troubles but following the information session, it seems that the school is fine now. The campus seems new and is slated for renovation according to my student interviewer. Very down-home feel for a medical school with such a large class (250).

How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, AMCAS app.
What was the most difficult question?
My opinion on a discussion about elderly patients and end of life issues. My interviewer was a geriatrics specialist.
What impressed you positively?
I had known that Drexel had financial difficulties in the past and it seems that the school is in a good financial situation now and has plans for expansion.
What impressed you negatively?
The area around the campus is mostly residencial and seems like there is very little to do there without going into downtown.
