I would have liked to see a lecture hall and gross anatomy lab on our campus tour.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The Penn State Hershey Medical Center has some impressive plans to expand their campus (but maybe not in time for a student applying now to enjoy them).

What are your general comments?

I think that everyone in my interview group had heard one good thing or another that inspired them to apply to Penn State- I certainly wasn't disappointed. The program seems dedicated to supporting its students and supplying them with several unique opportunities and resources designed to nurture intelligent, compassionate physicians.
