Amazing experience overall, great school. Questions in order: 1. How did you end up in Philadelphia from (insert state here)? 2. Why did you changr your major? 3. Why is spending more time with a patient a good thing? 4. What area of medicine are you interested in? 5. What is one quality that you feel a physician should possess? 6. What other schools did you apply to? 7. What factors would influence your decision in selecting which medical school to attend? 8. Anything else you would like us to know? Again, great experience overall. They told us our interview order and who we would be seeing. They had people from Financial Aid and the Bursar Office come speak to us while we were waiting. Breakfast was good, cafeteria is more than adequate. PCOM students were always coming in to talk to us while we were waiting to be interviewed. All of my questions were answered and I felt at ease with the entire day.
