Getting a sense of your motivations is very important to the interviewing team at Drexel University's medical school. With this question, your interviewers are looking for the areas of achievement most important to you, and they do so by having you talk about what you feel has been the proudest moment on your path to medical school.

"While I am proud of my academic successes through high school and college, I'm proudest of the volunteer club I helped create during my sophomore year. A close classmate and I had the idea to give back to the community through a couple of the local homeless shelters. We started the club from scratch, recruited volunteers, and set up a formal structure for the club. We worked closely with leaders at the shelter to carve out roles for volunteers. As I exit that campus, I'm proud to say that the club has over 20 members and new leaders to continue the club into the future."

There is no right or wrong answer to a question like this, so the door is wide open for you to speak passionately about what you feel has been your proudest achievement. Perhaps you have maintained an exceptional GPA or excelled in school while working a part-time job. Maybe you finished top of your class and received a special award for your achievements. Think of any accolades you may have received along the way and express the detailed work it took for this achievement to come true.
