How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, booklet they sent was really helpful (about PIL vs. IFM), AMCAS app.

What impressed you positively?

Technology!! Students seemed relaxed

What impressed you negatively?

Disorganization of the day.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they really hadn't organized the optional PIL info. session and I should have left right after my faculty interview.

What are your general comments?

My student interview was basically a conversation except for the end when he said that he was supposed to ask me certain questions. It was a little awkward conducting it over lunch. The faculty interview was quite relaxed. He only asked me what I was doing now and about my volunteering in the past. The rest of the time we discussed sports, history of Philly, etc. (which was fine with me).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
