What impressed you positively?

I loved this school. The staff was very nice and the students were all extremely friendly and had great personalities. We got to sit in on a small group session which blew me away. There were two faculty facilitators to make sure everything was covered and the case they were studying was part of the virtual curriculum-meaning that all the slides and info were on the web and projected onto a screen during class as well. You get to start your clerkships in Jan of your second year. The curriculum seems perfect, the hospital was nice, my student interviewer was fantastic...need I go on?

What impressed you negatively?

You'd have to look hard to find things you don't like about UPenn. It was freezing when I went and I'm from California so that was a bit of a shock. Also, the school is a bit expensive and it's going to be so hard to wait until March for a decision.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the students would be so cool. My student interviewer and I could have talked for hours, she even emailed me about an hour after I left to say she enjoyed meeting with me.

What are your general comments?

I loved UPenn. I was sorta expecting this school to be less than it was hyped up to be, but it far exceeded my expectations. In the morning you have a brief breakfast, a talk about the curriculum, a visit to a class, a tour by a third or fourth year student, a financial aid chat, lunch, a faculty interview, a student interview, and then a wrap-up. The day is very long, but well worth it. I loved UPenn and would love to get in there.
