At the school
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read this website, looked over my AMCAS application, read up on health care issues in the paper (New York Times) or online.
What impressed you positively?
The students were really friendly and seemed happy at PSU. A few of them stopped by to wish us good luck and one student who had attended my undergraduate school introduced herself to me. The admissions staff was very helpful and Winnie, one of the secretaries, is the friendliest woman ever. I enjoyed the scenic campus and the relatively cheap student housing. Harvey, the quarter-million simulation dummy was also pretty cool.
What impressed you negatively?
Could get kinda lonely in the winter if you have no car to get around.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wish I came prepared with more questions to ask the students and other admissions staff
What are your general comments?
Although it was a rainy and dreary day, I came out of the interview feeling relaxed and confident. Just be yourself and everything else will fall into place because the interviewers are really there to get to know you--not to stress you out. This is my first interview, and if I get accepted, I'll probably cancel all of my subsequent interviews to attend Penn State =o)
