How did you prepare for the interview?

I hung out with 2nd year Drew students the night before and asked many questions.

What impressed you positively?

Every Drew student with whom I spoke loves the school and the program. Everyone genuinely enjoys the curriculum and the family atmosphere.

What impressed you negatively?

My interviewer. He rarely made eye contact with me and he was very hard to understand. I had a faculty member and he just seemed so uninterested in everything I had to say. He obviously doesn't like to interview students.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

I enjoyed the tour and the medical students and everyone I met was very nice...except, the interviewer. He left me with a very negative impression, I walked out of the interview feeling very cheated.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
