How did you prepare for the interview?

What impressed you positively?
Came into the interview thinking the Hershey Medical Center was going to be some podunk establishment and was very pleasantly surprised. Facilities were not new but definitely not run-down. Faculty was amazingly friendly (almost to the point of making one paranoid). Plus, Hershey is a very safe town, a marked contrast from some of the other schools I visited.
What impressed you negatively?
The rural environment. Not nearly as country as I expected, but I do like the big cities.
What are your general comments?
A very nice school, but you do have to realize that it is rural. Overall a good interview day.
