I interviewed at Drexel at the end of last month. Overall, it felt pretty laid back to me. They do a presentation about the program, give a student-led tour of facilities and have students around to answer your questions about the program. The interview itself is one-on-one interview with a faculty member. If you have any questions about the Drexel interview process- feel free to send me a PM.

Observation Hours: around 100 hours outpatient ortho (mixed in with sports), 25 outpatient neuro, 25 inpatient acute care (150 hours total)
Extracirriculars: 2 years of missionary work prior to college, pre-PT club, tutor science for high school students at a prep school.
Applying: UIC, Rosalind Franklin, UNMC, Drexel

E-submitted: 9/7
Verified: 9/13

Interviews: Rosalind Franklin (10/15), Drexel (10/28)
Rejections: Rosalind Franklin (10/24), Drexel (11/9) 🙁 🙁 🙁

I can't understand why this is happening...the letter said that the program can't offer me admission, so I'm assuming that it's a rejection. I will e-mail Drexel, but at this rate, I don't like my chances of getting into UIC either. God, I don't know what to do. 🙁 This feels devastating, especially when I thought that the interview went a lot better than Rosalind Franklin.....

Yeah, I don't think I had great answers for the supplemental questions if I remember correctly and my gpa prob could have been higher (one of my friends goes there now and she had a 3.9) that's not to say you can't get in with less than that, I was just significantly lower than that. Also my writing portion of the GRE was pretty ****ty.

What are your stats?
