What impressed you positively?

"So many things! 1.The faculty is very dedicated, which can be seen from the style and structure of the medical curriculum at Drexel. 2. Compassionate and kind physicians---my interviewer is such one. 3. Innnovative curriculum and excellent modules. IFM fits my learning style well, and I like the sympton-based approach of learning. 4. No use of live animal in the lab. I like that because I do not want to do harm to sentient beings. 5. Excellent opportunities for community sevices: downtown is about 30 min drive. 6. Friendly students and relaxed interview. They really want to know things about you. 7. The medical school is just one building. All the lectures will be taught in one big building. " Report Response
