What are your general comments?
Penn was great. They did a lot to make sure the day was paked with informative sessions and that there wasn't much downtime. Still, it all seemed useful and worthwhile. The tour guide that I went with (there about 30 interviewees there total) was great - probably the best I've had anywhere. Student interviewer was very easy going.
