What impressed you positively?

The interviewers made jokes to lighten the mood before the interview. They definitely wanted to ease the nervousness so that I could answer at my best. When they asked me to tell them about myself, they genuinely looked interested in hearing what I had to say.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing!! After the tours and interview, UPenn became my #1 choice!!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really? Because they answered any questions I had. Some people say they wish they knew how chill the interview would be but it's not bad to be over-prepared.

What are your general comments?

I'm usually really bad at interviewing so I can't thank my interviewers enough for creating a low-stress environment for me. It was really conversational, and the 30-minute interview felt more like 15 minutes.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None at all. They were super friendly and wanted to make sure you were not stressed so that you could perform at your best. They even had cute line pictures for us to color :') and they stressed interacting with the other applicants because they could be our future colleagues
