I wouldn't necessarily judge a school on its curbside appeal. Temple rebuilt their school, Jefferson has added buildings. There are whispers of Drexel possibly moving the medical school campus as part of the President of Drexel's future vision of the university (which would likely mean West Philly). The East Falls location of DUCOM has the upside of being one of the safest neighborhoods in Philly (safer than Center City by far), but the down side of not being near a whole lot. The facilities are fine and they're upgraded as need be. The didactics were great and prepared me well for the steps and for practice. I appreciated the variety of clinical sites. A lot of passionate, dedicated faculty. The school really works hard to make sure students get a good experience, and they work really hard for students experiencing hardship (academic, and especially those with health or family problems). Other than tuition, I can't really think of much that I wish was different. Now in residency, I hardly hear anyone say anything about their respective medical schools (because no one really cares anymore). The few times when talking about medical school with folks from other schools, you realize how much BS everyone has to put up with despite the school and its reputation. I did great on the USMLE and matched at my first choice.
... Does anyone know when secondarys started rolling out last year and what the prompts were?? @winterwind_23 ?
