The unique curriculum. I especially liked the PIL curriculum (problem based learning) My interviewer was extremely positive about Drexel and its students. The school seemed to have an atmosphere of cooperation rather than competition.

The tour was rather short and I didn't get a great sense of the facilities.

What are your general comments?

Two interviews: faculty interview and student interview. The faculty interview is open file, while the student interview is closed file over lunch. Interviews are held in two places, either at the med school campus or at the hospital in philadelphia. If you are interviewing at the hospital, you will need to take a shuttle from the med school to your interview.
