Read SDN, school websites, all the publications the school sent

What impressed you positively?

the culture of Philly, the students we ate lunch with were very helpful to answer questions, etc, residency options

What impressed you negatively?

the tour was very bland, the car ride up to the main campus was not necessary, the tour of the actual campus was presented in a non-enthusiastic tone

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the city was bigger than I thought - much more culture, the people were all extremely friendly and nice

What are your general comments?

The interview was a great learning experience - I'm definitely glad I went. Some parts (especially the tour!!) went on way too long. The interview was very short and informal with pretty typical questions. The interviewer lead the conversation and it was very low stress. Great experience overall.
