SDN

What impressed you positively?

New building complex was nice.

What impressed you negatively?

The interviewer did not pay enough attention to my answers.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Interviewer could be a science professor, not a dentist. Since I assumed he was a dentist, I made a small mistake.

What are your general comments?

Although I got admitted to UPenn, I decided to go to another school. Philly is not that fancy city relative to NYC and also slightly less famous than other top schools such as Columbia and UCSF. However, the atmosphere there is quite comfortable and decent.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
