How did you prepare for the interview?

Read this website, mulled over the meaning of life and did a mock interview with a friend.

What impressed you positively?

Students are friendly and pleasant. Nice hospital for the kiddies. Philly cheesesteaks, mmmm.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities are small and not as high tech as most school. Despite having diversity within the student body, the racial relations seemed a bit strained more so than at many of the schools I've visited...so much for the progressive North. The financial aid seemed a bit stingy, especially since I'll be paying it back for 10-15 years.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There are financial perks to becoming an in-state student and many people are in-state. Philly is dirty and very cold.

What are your general comments?

Initally I was nervous, but the students are soo relaxed that it quickly faded. The interviewer started off with a few hard hypothetical questions and then wanted to know what questions I had. Everyone who had that guy had a short interview. Tour was nice. Med students were great and answered all the questions we asked. Lunch was good, but avoid the macaroni salad. A morning interview allows you to be relaxed for the rest of the day.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
