What impressed you positively?
The organization of the day. Unlike most interviews, Penn State had every second planned, and they walked you to and from each interview. The students were really nice. The interviewers asked a lot of interesting questions, and really tried to make me feel comfortable.
What impressed you negatively?
2nd years did not do well in their boards this year.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
If you can, get a morning interview. Wear comfortable shoes because you end up walking from one building to the next and back. Stay at the Days Inn- they drive to the med school and even to the bus stop afterward!
What are your general comments?
I really like Penn State. This is the only school with a humanities department, and classes like history of medicine. I just wish it wasn't in the boonies.
