SDN, drexel website...

What impressed you positively?

Two curricula pathways, so that clinical experience is offered early on compared to some other schools. Also like Philadelphia a lot.

Drab school...and not sure how much of what I hear is just "marketing"...it also took the school virtually months to find a place on their calendar to schedule my visit.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that I should have applied to Temple Med School too -- and taken advantage of opportunity to interview at both places.

With both faculty and student interviewers, I felt like we really engaged in a conversation that touched on things of interest to us both.
