How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, thought up answers to potential questions, read my amcas

What impressed you positively?

the technology! ex: CEAC rooms, anatomy lab, micro lab, lectures are put on the internet. and the medical school is open 24/7 to students looking for a quiet place to study. the students seemed really happy to be there and it felt like a supportive community (not a cut-throat atmosphere at all)

What impressed you negatively?

the cafeteria.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that i was going to be one of 3 people sent to the hospital in center city to be interviewed (it was a 20-30 minute shuttle ride so give yourself some time). and there was no need to be nervous! (everyone was really friendly at drexel med and at the hospital)

What are your general comments?

the people there (faculty, students, doctors, and the random people i met in between my interviews) were friendly so it helped alot with keeping me relaxed and calm. even the interviews i had were more like conversations and not a stress test like i was afraid of.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
