"Read articles, wrote out answers to questions I thought I might get asked."
"Reviewed information on program and professors."
"read every paper PI had published in my field of interest"
"Read over bios, publications of the people I would be interviewing with."
"The involvement of the students in the interview process -- I was interviewed by two groups of two students as well as two faculty members."
"Research and clinical opportunities, minimal requirements to receive funding, non-competitiveness between students."
"all students seemed to have gone to great undergrads and had lots of experience, students seemed happy, lab was really active"
"students really engaged and active, seemed to get along with each other, most people graduate in 5 years, in downtown philly"
"The students seemed genuinely happy. Philly is a great city."
"The graduate students seemed genuinely happy and seemed to have the most satisfying work-life balance I had seen at a PhD Clinical program."
"The students seemed very happy, content with the program."
"It has a reasonable faculty and a empirically-driven orientation. I love Philly, and the program is (mostly) located at the Hahnemann campus right in Center City"
"My POI was very nice and receptive."
"Drexel is a very urban campus and things are spread out. It doesn't have a campus "feel.'"
"Two campuses, very urban, cost of living, number of people interviewed per slot (had a "cattle call" feel)."
"two campuses, also there were lots of us interviewing for one spot"
"two campuses, what a pain. the building itself didn't seem too nice, but i guess that's normal for urban campuses"
"They really need to narrow down their applicants. I was informed that the school selected around 70+ people to interview for 8 or fewer spots. My track specifically (neuropsychology) was interviewing 30 people for 2-3 spots. It's very disheartening to spend so much effort and money and then get to the school and find out that the chances of being selected are so small. Also, one of my interviewers hardly interviewed me...and preempted the conversation by saying that all the applicants looked alike to him, and that selections were pretty much random. That wasn't really what I wanted to hear after I'd worked so hard to get there."
"I was one of 13 people interviewing for one position. Those odds were extremely discouraging and it is not cheap to fly out of state for an interview with less than 8% chance of getting in."
"One of the interviewers seemed somewhat aggressive."
"The stipends are terrible (or perhaps non-existent). they weren't sure how much funding they could offer at the time of the interview. The facilities were only so-so-- they didn't have a lot of lab space available. i think this is a program ''on the rise'', but I don't think they're there yet"
"The facilities and stipend were very poor. The school doesn't seem to have much money."
"The current grad students were not very social during the social they held for applicants. "
"Great program."
"The student social hour the night before was pretty excruciating. Half the students I spoke with were condescending and acted like they didn't want to be talking to me. I'm a friendly, social person, and I was blown away by the lack of enthusiasm and respect. Also, on interview day, we didn't even get to take a tour because of a city-wide funeral procession. "
"I ended up feeling less than excited about the environment and the other students, but excited about the research and advising opportunities."
