What are your general comments?
My experience at Drew was incredible. If you can honestly say that the mission of Drew is exactly what you want to do then this school is your opportunity. Personally, I want to go to the underserved communities therefore being at Drew would give me amazing opportunities. Drew students generally get a lot more hands on experience and are surrounded my faculty members whose interests are to help the surrounding communities. I was really impressed with the physicians who introduced themselves during the day and the organization of the day has changed because no one was waiting for 2nd interviews for too long. There has been a lot of speculation with the MLK hospital and Drew is doing all they can to fix the problem. If anything, it should make you want to go to the school and prove others wrong in order to fight for Drew's mission. It's all about the mission!

What impressed you positively?
Everyone was very welcoming and encouraging. A lot of faculty were present and gave introductions explaining the importance of the Drew mission. Students were really friendly and you could really get a sense of family the students had for one another. All the doctors were really into the school and serving the community which is good to see and hear and make you realize why you're going into the medical field in the first place,
What impressed you negatively?
Some of the questions were tough such as the one described above. I don't want to think about when my parents are going to die. Who thinks about that?
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Breakfast is GREAT! Muffins, scones, fruit, juice, coffee, bear claws, water, yogurt...you just don't get lunch.
