How did you prepare for the interview?

VH1 'I Love the 80's' marathon... you never know when your interviewer will pop a question pertaining to 'Milli Vanilli' or 'Smurfs'.

What impressed you positively?

My interviewing comrades. This group was the best group I've interviewed w/ yet. It was an interesting and somewhat eclectic group and not your typical 'stuffy' premeds. There was even one young lady who was wicked hot.

What impressed you negatively?

Well, to tell you the truth I was kinda hoping that I'd be interviewed by Joe Paterno.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No M&M's!!! They don't provide marshmallows, graham crackers, or fire!

What are your general comments?

WE ARE... PENN STATE! Don't sweat the interview. While you're there take the time to consider if Hershey, PA is where you'd like to spend the next 4 years. It's a quaint, little town where chocolate flows like the Susquehanna River. However, you're not gonna find a Chinatown, a good R&B radio station, or a Puerto Rican-day parade, so just keep that in mind. I have plenty of fluorescent orange and camo in my wardrobe, so it's not too much of an adjustment for me. Use the day to see if Penn State fits YOU.
