How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed application, researched about school, talked with my cousin's friend who was a 2nd year at Drexel, Went over some ethics, kept up-to-date on science and non-science current events, keep calm.

What impressed you positively?

I liked learning about the curriculum, more specifically the PIL program. The school seems very up-to-date on technology. Also, the school is in a nice location of Philadelphia. The entire building is wireless, so all you need is a wireless network card for your laptop. Everyone made me feel welcome (always a plus).

What impressed you negatively?

Library a bit small, but there are plenty of other places to study in the medical school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Be prepared to possibly have your faculty interview at a different location. Shuttles run every half hour to and from the medical school.

What are your general comments?

The whole experience was very positive. The day was not too strenuous, except for taking the half hour shuttle ride to Hahnemann hospital where my interview was held (it takes half an hour because it's all local streets). Just enjoy your time at Philadelphia. Be sure to go to Pat's and grab a couple of Philly Cheessteak Sandiches before you leave town.
