Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Facilities - modern and pretty. Students - happy and friendly. Parking was cake. There is much housing near campus and its not too expensive. Also, admissions staff is forthcoming about their prior financial issues - at least they admit it. The tour was great! We saw a PIL group in action, and also the anatomy lab (a bit unnerving, but the students really looked like they were having a great time dissecting).

What impressed you negatively?

Price is high, but this is true at most private medical schools.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That we would actually go into the anatomy lab - I have never seen a cadaver before so this was kind of weird, but I think they do it to spice up the tour and also see how you react. There you are in your nice business suit, and the students are in scrubs, arm deep in a cadaver, saying, "Look, isn't this cool?" So just be prepared. Also, don't freak if your faculty interviewer is at the psychiatric hospital, mine was and it was fine.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Completely low-stress; so low-stress actually that I worried they weren't taking me seriously. My interviewer was a psychiatrist (which totally worried me!) but was awesome; had read my application thoroughly and asked me specific questions about my personal statement and activities, in a very non-threatening way. I was flattered that someone had prepared so much for my interview and felt like I really got a chance to let my personality show through. I didn't even get the standard "Why drexel" or "Why medicine" questions; it was really laid-back, and I liked the day. My student interview was also fine; the student was not very talkative so I had to carry the convo a bit, but the free lunch was nice.
