What impressed you positively?

"You truly get the best of both worlds at Drew/UCLA. You take classes at one of the top medical schools in the country and do most of your clinical work at an inner city hospital. If you like helping the underserved this is the place for you. Everyone was very friendly and because the class size (at Drew) is small, about 24, everyone knows one another and they seem to get along well. " Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"They interview about 150 people for 25 slots so that sounds intimidating. My interviewer actually said that they will pick about 2 of the 15 that interviewed on my day and recommend them for admission. Also, the hospital seemed kind of empty for a Saturday morning." Report Response

"They were serving breakfast. Don't eat before your interview because they have plenty of food including yogurt, muffins, bagels, coffee, juice, etc..." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"I had a really good time at Drew. The students and faculty made you really feel as though it was a family atmosphere. Its a really diverse (ethnically) group of students, but most are from California. The interviews were very relaxed and mostly conversational. Overall I had a great time and really liked the school.
