What was the most interesting question?

Given the following scenario: I am a physician and I have two patients, but only enough time to dedicate to one. The first patient listens to everything I recommend and follows instructions about meds perfectly. The second patient never listens to my recommendations and refuses to take meds. Keeping in mind the time constraint, how do I spend my time treating the patients?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read from the MSAR and the website. Also, I made sure I had examples if asked any ethical questions. I was familiar with both IFM and PIL before I went to the interview.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities at Drexel were great. The students seemed to be very happy there.

What impressed you negatively?

The size of the class was overwhelming. I also didn't like having an interview over lunch.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The medical school's past financial problems. At least they brought the problems to the applicants' attention though.

What are your general comments?

If you interview here, make sure you try to get a good understanding of both the IFM and PIL programs. The class size is around 250 and the school seemed more crowded than any other school I interviewed at. The PIL program seems like a nice fit for someone looking for a smaller learning environment within the large school.
