so has anybody been to the drexel interview day thing that can tell us exactly what went down between the hours of 9 to 3?? i figure an hour for info session, an hour for a tour, and hour for an interview..what about the other 6 hours? what it be a big deal if i walked in late (cuz i live kinda far and philly traffic gets bad i know - plus ill probably get lost). any other opinions on the interview would be great too..thanks

to dk and lisasimpson.. umm the interview was really easy. There were no ethical/medically related questions. then again. my interview was literally like 15 minutes long and all we talked about was why i wanted to be a doctor. and thats it. My other interviews were def much harder with medical, health care , and ethical issues. do wear a suit dk. i think wearing a suit is the way to go with any interview. try not to be nervous and i think everything will be fine. just think about it this way, just getting an interview itself you already past all the main hurdles. you basically have a 50 % chance roughly of getting in now. and lisa, there was a lot of waiting time. i actually left at 1pm because my interview was at 12:30. but there is really nothing special. i think you should arrive on time though. but you can leave early. good luck 2 you guyz and dont sweat it. im sure you'll do fine.

I had my interview...and I was not impressed at all. First of all as soon as we got their the dean basicallo told us that if we mess up even a little as an undergrad...we are out of the program...no exceptions. Furthermore, doesn't seem like the program really focases on clinical skills. They use actors for training and not real patients. With the program at UMKC, you get to work with REAL patients on the first day...just my two cents

don't a lot of schools use actors? i heard umkc uses virtual anatomy vs. drexel's cadaver lab (correct me if im wrong) - probably a bigger issue than the actor vs. patients thing to most people;
edit - actually i think umkc does have cadaver dissection requirements... probably voids my post then

yea but i heard that a lot of schools are switching to virtual anatomy...which is weird cuz like EVERY school that ive been to has been like "we're better than other schools because we use actual cadavers even though most schools are using virtual anatomy now" ...but i have yet to visit an actual school that does this
its like students saying that med school is very cutthroat and people won't help you and they'll sabotage you - but everyone i talk to says this does not describe them, it just describes "other" people...but nobody seems to personally know these people...ahh its very confusing

Does anyone know when we find out whether we got in or not? I've heard so many different things (like March 22, April 1, even different dates for different undergrad schools) and I don't know who's right.

That's exactly what I was told at the med school when I went for my interview too! But when I called Villanova, Drexel Med School, and Lehigh today, they're all saying that we won't find out until a later date ("by April" seems to be the only thing they can agree on).
