How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, feedback, lots of prayers, but it really doesn't look good for me

What impressed you positively?

Marc Lubbers and the admissions staff plus they have pictures of their medical student classes like everywhere, they are extremely proudd of their students. ooh almost forgot, all the door open by themselves!

What impressed you negatively?

Penn state is in hershey which i think is the whole of penn state. If you are used to NYC, you would have a lot of adjusting but it is a medical school and it is not that bad

don't remember.

What are your general comments?

It was my first interview and my stomach was growling during my interview so i don't like my chances. they escort you everywhere which is really nice and you have lunch with students and your interviewers. sometimes, it appeared like instances seemed forced, but it is a good medical school, just seems isolated

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
