What impressed you positively?
It's true; everybody on the campus is very nice and enjoys being at Penn State. Students and faculty are dedicated to the field of medicine.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing major; the tour could have been more in-depth, but it still gave me a feel for the school as a whole.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I had a 45 minute time gap between interviews.
What are your general comments?
The interview was informal. I interviewed with two separate individuals; each interview was 35 minutes or so. Neither really asked me any questions - they were more interested in giving me a chance to find out about Penn State. It was clear that both had read my file though, because they had me describe some of the experiences mentioned therein.
