amcas application, speaking with current students.
What impressed you positively?
the facilities, the friendly atmosphere, the students, the respect shown by the admissions folks for all invited to interview. The only school where the director of admissions said ''congratulations on getting into medical school. We firmly believe that all of you will be entering medical school next year. It is more a matter of finding the right fit for you.'' Penn is one of the best (or THE best) medical schools in the country. I highly recommend this school; it should blow you away.
