💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

No responses

What was the most interesting question?

I wasn't even asked questions by the faculty interviewer really. We just talked about him for most of the interview and I asked the questions. The student interviewer asked the standard questions like why medicine and what do you do as a hobby. Here's the thing, I thought my faculty interview went bad because we spent the entire time talking about his life and acomplishments. He was super friendly, but I didn't know what he could possibly write on my evaluation because I never really got asked questions. But I got acepted. Contrast this with Albany's interview in which I prepared so much for ethics questions and talked rather well in my opinion for a total of 3hrs over two interviews only to get put on the alternate list. The interview process in general seems a little screwy to me.

What was the most difficult question?

not being asked questions leaves one feeling worse than a whole bunch of difficult questions.

you're doing it

What impressed you positively?

the technology level is super-excellent

What impressed you negatively?

there are 250 students in the class--a little chunky don't you think? Also 1200 students are interviewed! Thats a lot of people and makes you feel like such a number during the application and interview process.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

More about the Drexel/MCP merger. Be prepared to travel across the city to do the second interview with the faculty member--there are shuttles, but don't get on the wrong one like me.

What are your general comments?

The city is pretty cool--lots of stuff to see and do. The school is niceness too. Students were super friendly and the buildings looked clean and renovated.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
