How did you prepare for the interview?

Read website, SDN interview feedback, my own application.

What impressed you positively?

The Temple hospital and Children's Center. Both are amazing and I was very impressed.

What impressed you negatively?

Medical school is a little old, but nothing as bad as others have described. I come from a UC school, so if you're used to old facilities, this place looks pretty nice.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Driving around Philly is tough because of the traffic. Leave early. Also, hotels in Center City charge a lot for parking so try to find hotels that offer free parking or find cheap lots nearby.

What are your general comments?

Very positive. Again, the medical school was nice, the hospital and children's center was impressive. My interviewer was really nice and we really connected on a lot of interesting issues. Overall, a great experience.
