How did you prepare for the interview?

this site, Penn state web site, read up on healthcare, looked up notes from when i decided where to apply, read about it in a book

What impressed you positively?

the patient project - I'd forgotten about it, and it seems like a very cook program. Also I liked that the humanities are integrated into the program - that you study medicine from literature and art.

What impressed you negatively?

hershey isn't so much a small town as not a town at all - I went to college in the boonies, but it really seems like you need to have a car (or a friend with a car) to get out and do anything.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing

What are your general comments?

It was pretty good - I liked the school a lot, and tuition is cheap for PA residents.
