What impressed you positively?
enthusiasm of the director, emphasis on student, trying to sell the school, ridiculously thorough power point, the realness of the people there, interesting programs like womens health, choice between curriculums, progressive nature of the school, the enthusiasm and kindness of my interviewer, philly was awesome, and i never expected to like it, but it was brilliant, real, and very fun.
What impressed you negatively?
i got kind of a weird vibe from the students, like the kids in the cafeteria didnt seem too happy, it seemed like a lot of the students only went there cause it was the only school they got into, the first two yrs are done in suburban philly, the other interviewees didnt seem too psyched about drexel.
What are your general comments?
it was really fun learning about the school, and everyone was very open and honest and seemed to truly care about us and about making us the best doctors they could in the best way for each of us. i was a little discouraged that the school didnt seem so prestigious, but everyone seemed really dedicated.
