Hi? I'm surprised no one else started this, unless not many people have heard from Drexel yet lol..
regardless hi.

Hey fellas, how are you doing. Congrats on your acceptance to drexel. Are you guys thinking PIL or IFM?
Hi all, congrats on the acceptances. If anyone has any burning questions about Drexel, I'd be happy to try and answer them.
Are a lot of the students there concerned with the amount of debt they will incur after graduating from Drexel? Also, how what do you think the overall opinion from the students is with regards to years 3 and 4? Thanks
I'm sure that everyone who has taken out loans is at least somewhat concerned with the debt they're accumulating. However, I think that people realize that for most med students, loans and debt are just another part of the process.
I'm only an MS1, so I can't speak very much about 3rd and 4th year. I can say that I haven't heard any complaints. There are a lot of options at Drexel, and we have affiliations with hospitals across Pennsylvania and New Jersey. As such, you can expand your horizons or stay in Philly during your clinical years. There are also full-year programs at Allegheny General in Pittsburgh and Monmouth in NJ where you can spend your entire 3rd year without having to move around every 4-6 weeks.
Hey guys, please convince me that there is no point into going to an SLU interview. Drexel is better in every respect, right?
Thanks for the info. Why did you choose drexel, if you don't mind my asking?
For those who don't know already:
IFM = sucks
PIL = teh awsum

Hey could you tell us a little more about the PIL track? positive and negative? What made you choose PIL over IFM? Thanks!
Hey Rocketman, I feel the same way about Drexel. Out of all the schools I've been to I really got an excellent vibe with the school, more so than any other. Doesn't mean I'm not going to explore other options, but I'm so grateful and excited if that is where I end up going. I can't believe I was so dumb for underestimating it before I went.
is drexel pass/fail? or honors/pass/fail? i can't remember, all the schools are jumbled in my head in terms of those details. thanks!
The grading system is: honors / high pass / pass / fail.
Dont forget low pass!
I was so excited to be accepted to Drexel. I live in Center City Philadelphia now and love the city. Sent my PIL application a few weeks ago, too. I am really looking forward to getting started!
Is it possible to change your mind on living in Pittsburgh for the 3rd and 4th years if you decide later on you want to do it? I didn't choose it when I received my acceptance but may want to down the road.
i saw on the class of 2012's thread from last year that there was an accepted students day in april. has anyone heard anything about it, when it is this year, what goes on, etc?
Just got my acceptance letter in the mail today! Anyone know if there is a facebook group made yet for accepted students.
Hope to meet you all soon whenever this accepted students day is.
yayy congrats!! ANyone thought about housing? Is there an area where a lot of students live?

Did you send the paper application for PIL?
most students live in either manayunk(if you have a car) or east falls.
i dont know much about manayunk but these are some apartments complexes students use in east falls. however if you want a home to rent or something just try craigslist, and anything 19129 should be close enough to school.
Hey guys,
I have yet to receive anything in the mail after the acceptance packet. Should I be worried? I don't want to leave anything up to chance... Thanks for the help!
If you know you want to live in the city it's very doable as well. There is a shuttle that goes right from center city (4 blocks from my current apartment!) and takes you directly to the medical school.
