PENN IS AWESOME!!! Everyone, including the current students and the other applicants I met, LOVES PENN! It's assets are way too long to go into, but it really rocks.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you are coming from the West and taking the turnpike, you have to get off at the 476 sign, otherwise 76 magically becomes 276 (no signs!) and you wind up in New Jersey.

What are your general comments?

It was awesome. Penn is one of my top choices, so I was nervous during the interviews. They were nice, but they were pretty tough questions in comparison to the casual conversations that I've had at other schools. Make sure you know how you feel on healthcare issues.
