Drexel/MCP?

[DZT]

Hey y'all,
I got a Drexel interview for next week and I was wondering whether anyone could offer any insight on the matter beyond what is found on SDN Interview Feedback. Thanks.
Also, I hear that 10% of apps get interviewed. Does anyone know what percentage of interviewees get an acceptance. Thanks again.

i dont know for sure, but i'd guess its pretty high. they say they get 10K applications. if they interview ~10 percent, thats about 1000 interviewees. they have a gigantic class to fill (250), and they're on the lower tier end of the med school spectrum so they have lots of waitlist movement, as evidenced by the threads last spring.
