How did you prepare for the interview?

I am normally a nervous person, so I read up on the website everything I could about this school, and proved to be helpful, so I overstressed about the interview.

What impressed you positively?

The students at Penn State, which I personally thought were going to be lame and dull, were very friendly and active, very unlike the other schools I have visited. The curriculum seems to be very solid, with a friendly and helpful faculty. On a side note, walking around the halls, I saw more good-looking male medical students than I ever have. There were these two in the cafeteria who just came up to our group and asked how our visit was going. Wow.

What impressed you negatively?

Not anything I can think of off the top of my head. If you are worried of the lack of city-life, the students all agreed that between the workload and Harrisburg night-life, ocial life is enjoyable.
