The most interesting question I was asked was about how I would make the transition to medical school. (asked by my student interviewer)

I didn't feel any of the questions were difficult to answer, my faculty advisor did ask me a question about my academic record and my view on how prepared I was for medical school..but I think I handled it well.
What impressed you positively?
everything...I loved it..the faculty is so involved and you really feel the sense of community that exists between the students, faculty and admissions staff, the facilities are amazing, they really are technologically savvy, I really liked the fact that everything is open to students 24 hrs/day, housing is reasonable, and I enjoyed the fact that they really get a chance to know you beyond your numbers and really read through your entire application, and the guidance given through advisors, Bigs and the Pathway program are really impressive
What impressed you negatively?
absolutely nothing negatively impressed me about Drexel, I am hoping to be accepted there because it is definitely my top choice, and I can see myself fitting in there so well :)

Nothing, I think it was fitting that this was my last interview...I had it scheduled since December...I wish that the decision process was sooner...but I am willing to wait :)
