<p>@butterfli123, what undergrad colleges are you interviewing with Drexel? Because, from what I understand, Drexel/Drexel and Villanova/Drexel interviews are done. And, truthfully, the latest date I heard for Drexel interviews was February 21st. However, I know Drexel med is known to let people know literally two days before their interview that they have one, so it is very possible that your interview notification date might come out in a few days.</p>

Do you think UTSA is good medical school? It was on probation few yrs back.</p>
<p>I interviewed for FAME also and was impressed by UTHSCSA. It looks promising and the people were very nice. Keep in mind though that’s the first med school I’ve ever been to.</p>
<p>Let’s also keep in mind that you can only compare med schools if you get into more than one program. Otherwise, it’s take it or leave it (though I don’t know who would decline, unless you had a better offer from an ivy).</p>
<p>@sjshah
i was told by robert morris, rosemont, and ursinus that drexel called them and said i have interview and i should keep a lookout in my email for the date (march 2nd or 9th). but it’s been over a week now! so do you think that i could quite possible have an interview this saturday? :O</p>
<p>@gofkr The UTHSCSA (not UTSA) school of medicine is phenomenal. The opportunities that this school provides for heir undergraduate and medical students are beyond world class. I have worked at this med school for the past two years, and the whole probation thing went way out of proportion. The LCME (accrediting committee) have been frustrated with all US medical schools with the way medicine was being taught. We all know that medicine is an ever changing field with the addition of knowledge via research and clinical practices, and the LCME felt that medical schools were not preparing it students adequately for its fickle nature. Thus the LCME decided they were going to raise their standard a little more, and chose UTHSCSA and NY Downstates as their guinea pigs just to prove a point. If you luck carefully at some of the allegations that LCME had against UTHSCSA, you can see that they are ridiculous. The LCME was frustrated with their archaic curriculum that have teaching doctors since the 70’s, despite its propensity to produce competent, caring physicians. They thought that curriculum was too lecture-based and less hands on. They were also unhappy with the the way UTHSCSA was documenting their clinical evaluations. What the LCME failed to take in account was that UTHSCSA was already planning on changing their curriculum to something more innovative - similar to the curriculum of UCLA. This new “circle” curriculum has been put in place for the class of 2016, and it is already receiving accolades. This new curriculum entails 1.5 year curriculum, coupled with early exposure and electives. It is also more problem based and active learning. One med student even told that the students will have the opportunity to take an internal medicine rotation, which, they said, would help them perform significantly better on the step 1 exam.</p>
<p>Drktc thx so much for clarification</p>
<p>RPI/ALBANY INTERVIEWEES: if I may ask, what did you include in your supplement essay for why rpi and what makes you qualified? I’m having a bit of trouble trying to fit it all in 1500 characters</p>
