💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Don't worry about the interivews. The questions are very standard and everything is relaxed. Just make sure to get some sleep the night before, and your interview will go fine. If you can carry on a regular conversation you should be able to pull this one off too.
How did you prepare for the interview?
read their website, spoke with half a dozen med students at Penn, read my Amcas, SDN,
What impressed you positively?
Everything. Their campus, curriculum, interview day, students, facilities. There really is no place like penn. In my mind its off the charts
What impressed you negatively?
THat I would have to wait five monthes to know if I am accpted...
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I came in thinking that Penn was by far my number one choice, but they were just so much more impressive than I could have ever imagined, so I became pretty starry eyed all day. Also I stayed by a friend in the med school who was great and really went all out and invited people over for me to talk to... but I ended up sleeping on the floor and not getting much sleep, which I think messed me up for my interviews.
