How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN and feedback from other forum members as well as personal preparation with common interview questions

What impressed you positively?

How friendly and relaxed the admissions staff was. I interviewed on a Sat. and everybody from the medical students to the admissions personnel wore really casual clothes! And they all tried their best to put you at ease.

What impressed you negatively?

None really.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Be prepared be reading everything you can about the Drexel interview process and you won't be surprised by anything.

What are your general comments?

If you interview on a Sat, expect things to wrap up by 1pm. You will not see the hospital downtown as the faculty interviewers will all be waiting for you at the school itself. There will be more or less 3 essay prompts from which you'll get one assigned in your packet. You can start thinking about it during the presentation which starts off the day. You'll have all day to finish the essay which should not go over half a page.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
