What impressed you positively?

I was impressed with the standardized patient rooms, and felt that the students seemed very relaxed.

What impressed you negatively?

The campus seems too small, and the interviewees were kept in a conference room most of the time. Both interviewers and admissions personnel were late.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Some interviews may be off site at Hannemann Hospital.

What are your general comments?

I was not particularly impressed with Drexel, although I think I came away with the interview feeling that it wouldn't be a bad place to go to school. There were 15 people interviewing the day I went, and all said their interviews went very well, and were really easy. I was the only one that had my particular interviewer, and he wasn't Drexel Faculty. He was kind of cold and very hard to talk to, and spent a lot of time looking for problems with my application. I also felt very rushed during the interview, like there wasn't enough time to get out all I needed to say before he would go on to the next question.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
