What are your general comments?

There are two interviews at Drexel University School of Medicine, one with a student(closed file) and one with a faculty member(open file). Both of these lasted 30 - 40 minutes for me. My student interview was in the cafeteria (which is a bit small for such a large school). She was a first year and the interview was as much an opportunity for her to guage my motivations, background, and interest in Drexel as it was for me to ask any questions I had. My faculty interview was at MCP Hospital which is a couple blocks away from the school (a shuttle is provided). My interview was delayed about 15-20 minutes. My faculty interviewer was intellectual and asked my opinion on a number of open ended questions - the kind that nobody really has an answer to... I was impressed by the facilities of the actual college and the surrounding neighborhood does not seem too bad. Admission decisions are made within 6 weeks. Tour guide (Director of Admissions) is a veteran at giving the tour -> NO B.S.
