What impressed you positively?

"The enthusiasm of the students and faculty. Everyone at Drexel seems very happy they are there. Everyone's general attitude was pretty laid back, and getting to meet the other students interviewing at Drexel was also an enjoyable experience. My interview with a student was really great, she was extremely helpful in answering my questions about the curriculum, life in Philadelphia, and pretty much any random questions I had." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"I was a bit discouraged by the topics that were discussed during my faculty interview. I would've liked the opportunity to discuss some of my own reflections on medicine and ethicality. Instead the interview seemed rather specific to a few questions." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"That so much of the orientation is dedicated to distinguishing the IFM and PIL curriculum. The Drexel website has very little detailed information on the distinctions between these two programs. As such, I planned to ask a lot of questions throughout the day about the differences on everything from academic to social distinctions between the two curriculums." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"My interview went rather well. I heard from most of the other students, as well as on most of the SDN reviews, that the interview experience at Drexel is a very relaxed and conversational one. I got the feeling that my particular interview was much more structured than others, but it was still a very nice and enjoyable experience. The questions asked were very deep and probed at my motives and reasoning for going into medicine, and as such I think overall it was very informative to my interviewer. My student interview was much more relaxed, and she was able to answer all of my questions and was extremely helpful." Report Response
