How did you prepare for the interview?

Read through my VMCAs application, *tried* to get enough sleep the night before the interview.

What impressed you positively?

Penn is simply AMAZING! The students and interviewers were very, very friendly. We learned a LOT about the school, life there in Philly, etc.

What impressed you negatively?

Not a fan of the big city, but it will be a great experience! :)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Everyone was so friendly and the atmosphere for the interview was soooooooo relaxed/laid back.

What are your general comments?

The interview was VERY conversational. One interviewer had read your file, while the other had not. I was at ease the entire time (which was amazing because I tend to get really nervous)! Well, I was still nervous, but the interview was NOT scary at all! I didn't feel pressured by any of the questions. My interviewers just wanted to get to know me as a person and learn about my experiences. I got to ask them questions. It was very neat to hear why they chose Penn!!! :)
