How did you prepare for the interview?

Spoke with friends enrolled at the dental school and this website. :)

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were AWESOME!! The Dent. Simulator was pretty sweet. The students were really nice. The student lounge is fantastic.

What impressed you negatively?

I don't like Philly. No offence to the urbanites of Philly, but being in a dense city where 2 blocks in all directions around the campus is considered the ghetto isn't exactly my cup of tea.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The population base and standard of living is painful.

What are your general comments?

The interview experience was great. 80% of interviewees get in, so that is nice to know. There is a lot of debt that you will acquire if you attend U Penn so be prepared. U Penn's turn-over for students entering the specialized programs is through the roof!! They are an outstanding school if you are willing to sacrifice the 4 years of stress and discomfort.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
