As part of your admissions process at Drexel University's medical school, the school will require official transcripts from your undergraduate program. With them, your interviewing team will get a firsthand look at your academic successes and potential shortcoming. The interviewers want you to detail the areas you stood out in and where you could have done better. They also want to know how your undergraduate program has prepared you for attending medical school at Drexel University.

"I am very proud of my achievements during my undergrad education. Those courses added so much value that I will bring to my graduate program. My best courses included X, Y, and Z. I feel that I excelled in these because they are related to the medical specialty I plan to pursue. I can improve my time management. I overextended myself last semester with volunteer opportunities, and my study time suffered slightly. Now that I have identified the reason behind my time management challenges, I will only see improvement moving forward."

"The basic sciences are the core courses for any pre-med student, and I have shown in my GPA that I am well above average in my ability to excel in these courses. However, because I spent so much time on those courses, you will see that one or two of my gen ed courses took a back seat concerning my GPA. This result is because I prioritized my basic science courses."
