2023-2024 Drexel

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
This is an appeal to applicants who have taken Casper for admission to Drexel University SOM.

Complete the 2023 Situational Judgment Test Experience survey.

HPSA/SDN has the 2023 SJT Experience Survey available to anyone preparing for SJTs (especially Casper and PREview). If you completed the 2022 survey, you are welcome to go ahead and complete the survey again. This survey consists of multiple pages and will take up to 10 minutes. You can also place yourself on a waitlist for a study focusing more on school-run SJTs run through platforms like Kira Talent, to be released later in the year.

Your feedback matters!
We learned a lot about how applicants prepared for Casper and PREview last year, but the number of PREview schools has almost doubled this cycle! Over 20% of all AMCAS applicants will likely have taken PREview, and up to 90% of all medical school applicants will likely have taken Casper this cycle (according to Acuity Insights). This does not include applicants in non-medical professions who have had to take these assessments for admission to physician assistant, anesthesiology assistant, dental, veterinary, pharmacy, or physical therapy programs, where we see a trend that applicants with higher Casper results are preferred. Medical residency applicants are also being asked to complete Acuity Insights Assessments, and very little is known about how program directors use these data. Your responses are vital to get objective insights on how admissions committees value the results of these exams.

Your feedback matters!
We want to hear from as many people as possible, especially those attending or applying outside of medicine (MD/DO). This year saw an expansion of SJTs in admissions, and more information has been made available on preparing for these assessments. We want to stay current with these trends to guide future applicants and students facing these SJTs.

Many of our findings from the 2022 survey align with the NAAHP Testing Task Force report released last summer. This includes concerns about proctoring, consistency of scoring, and concern that applicants are paying for validity research. But we need more student voices to gain a louder voice to advocate for future health professional school applicants.

Your feedback has helped HPSA develop a workshop focused on preparing for SJTs like Casper and PREview. This workshop is part of our Becoming a Student Doctor preparation course, and we have already had some positive results among those who have participated in our mock interview workshops. An updated workshop will be presented at the UC Davis Prehealth Conference on October 14, and we welcome opportunities to present the full-length SJT workshop to your campus!

Fill out this survey and help future applicants become physicians in their chosen profession!
 
Kinda confused about the interview schedule - on my portal it says “potential” faculty interview? Lol. Can anyone offer any insight into what to prepare for, etc.

That just means you’re either scheduled to interview during the morning slots or the afternoon ones but if your interview is close you’ll be able to see what time you’re scheduled for in the portal
 
I see. I think they’re still updating it. Also are we supposed to upload a picture anywhere? There’s no option on my website to upload.
 
I wonder why Drexel's been delaying post-II decisions so much this year. It seems like last year people got A's every Friday starting 10/21...

Just a guess but I think they had a change in admissions team. I got a bunch of open house emails last year hosted by Brian who doesn’t work at Drexel anymore. That would my biggest guess for the different schedule, I could be totally wrong tho

This was without a doubt my least favorite interview yet. The faculty member that interviewed me really either did not want to be there or did not want me to be there. Wouldn't listen to my answers, no conversation, they would cut me off, and even said some questionable stuff about my background (microaggressions). And when I asked questions towards the end, they really acted as if my questions were the dumbest thing they'd ever heard. I was curious if this was unique to me but someone had already mentioned my interviewer by name on Reddit. So I guess I just got unlucky. Really turned me off the school as a whole though. As for the student interview, the student interviewer was lovely but that's just not how group interviews should be done. Extremely cringe inducing. Anyway, I'll be withdrawing my application. Best of luck to everyone else.

I just had the same interviewer and dude SAME!!! I'm trying hard to not let it get to me, but you're right... it has a major effect on how you view the school as a whole.

Can someone message me the name of the interviewer cause I had the same experience🙁(
 
Hey all, should I be worried I haven't received an II yet? Complete 10/7, OOS, LM 78. Drexel is one of my top choices
