💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
Nothing interesting. It was about a 10 minute interview. He asked me to tell him about myself and then interrupted me to ask if I thought I could handle medical school.
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, talked to friends at Drexel, current events
What impressed you positively?
The use of technology. Everything is online. Although, they don't get it up as fast as Jefferson does. Nice, new facilities.
What impressed you negatively?
Not many students around, didn't seem all that outgoing. HUGE separation between PIL and IFM students. Recent string of break ins and muggings on and around campus. The dean of admissions didn't even show up. Instead of her introduction they played a 55 minute power point presentation. My interviewer was 25 minutes late and then only interviewed me for 10 minutes. They had a lot of trouble finding students to do the student interviews.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The campus is so far away from the hospital.
