Drexel/Lehigh BA/MD Interview

<p>I got an interview invitation for Lehigh/Drexel also! Congrats breaker746!! Mines on the 20th also!</p>

<p>Hey guys, I’m also on the 20th! See you there.</p>

<p>Is there only one interviewer for this program? And about how long does it last?</p>

<p>My interview was under 30 min, and they were all scheduled in blocks that length. It was with a medical school faculty member, and lunch was with a few of the current students.</p>

<p>okay thanks!! How long were you actually at the medical school? Cause they say you will spend the “day” with them…</p>

<p>I think lunch ended at around 1 or so, that was the last thing.</p>

<p>Alright thats not too bad. Were you asked anything about current medical issues or any other thought-provoking things like that? I really nervous! haha</p>

<p>I was asked what I thought the biggest issue in medicine was.</p>

<p>So there were no group interviews? Just one 30 minute? Thats odd…</p>

<p>yea but its short :slight_smile: so it’ll be over faster!</p>

<p>I personally hate short interviews. I think 30 minutes is the bare minimum to even get a feel for a candidate, and expressing myself in less is just so difficult. My alumni interviews ave all been over 30 min, and making the program ones sorter is annoying</p>

<p>truee…but its probably not exactly 30 min…I guess it just depends on how how your answers to questions are.</p>

<p>Usually, most medical schools will do multiple interviews including a panel interview.</p>

<p>They like to get a good idea of the candidate all around. How he can debate, speak, communicate, etc.</p>

<p>That is why I thought Drexel odd…</p>

<p>So who’s planning on attending this program??? I just got my acceptance yesterday!!!</p>

<p>My D is also planning to attend Lehigh/Drexel.
@warmmilk did you receive any info on merit scholarship? Are you from NY/NJ area ? and m or f?</p>

<p>I havent gotten any aid yet but hopefully I will soon…I’m from NY and female :)</p>

<p>Is it true that Drexel Undergrad gives out full rides to National Merit Finalists? I remember reading that somewhere.</p>

<p>last year they awarded full tuition to NMF (around 39K per year)</p>

<p>What’s the difference between full ride and full tuition? Does a full ride generally include Room and Board?</p>

<p>Full tuition covers just tuition. Full ride covers tuition + room & board.</p>
