No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, went over AMCAS, listened to presentation before interviews to ask more in depth questions about curriculum

What impressed you positively?

enthusiasm of the students, how every student who saw me wanted to tell me how great Drexel and Philly are

What impressed you negatively?

lack of emphasis on research - but i knew that going in

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish i was given better directions to my interviewer's office at Hahnemann University hospital- i had to break through a lot of locked doors to get there...

What are your general comments?

It seemed pretty standard - a group of 11 interviewees were given a presentation about how great Drexel is, given a student-led tour of the medical school, then lunch with a student interviewer, and then a faculty interview at Hahnemann. The most stressful part was just making sure i could get to my faculty interview on time and i felt like my student interview was a bit rushed.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
