How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked at UPenn website, read over interview feedback, talked to UPenn alumni.

What impressed you positively?

The whole interview was very relaxed and the students were very open and helpful. By the end of the day, you kind of forget they are here to judge you. The facilities and caseloads were amazing and the school has so much history.

What impressed you negatively?

My &quot;hot&quot; interviewer asked me very detailed questions about my application. He was tough!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It was freezing cold the day of my interview and before the tour they told us we wont be going outside so we didn't need our coats - but they took us outside a couple times! I wish I still would've brought my coat.

What are your general comments?

I think the day as a whole was really fun. The interview itself was a little stressful, but the rest ran smoothly. Be prepared to ask a lot of questions and just talk a lot in general to get yourself noticed.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
