looked at the website.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were clean and the school is very high tech.

What impressed you negatively?

It seems like the medical school was not hip to what an M.D., Ph.D. does or why one would pursue that degree.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish i had known that the mreger between Drexel and MCP is limited insofar as one can't or is discouraged from working with a faculty member on Drexel's main campus.

What are your general comments?

Group orientation followed by an interview with a medical school rep. She was difficult because a research background seemed to be a bad thing in her eyes. She only wanted clinical experiences - weird. Then, a meeting with a PhD. and off to lunch with a very nice M.D., Ph.D. student. Then, a meeting with the director and off to 4 meetings with Ph.D.s who were often new to the school. The interviewers were very nice but too new to Drexel to comment on the school. Then, the thing wrapped up with a pizza party.
