SDN, Read PSU Website

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

How friendly, quiet, and safe the area felt. Truely there was a family (we're a team) atmosphere throughout the staff and students alike. Having lunch with the current med students really put some questions to rest. Especially how Hershey is just as good as if not better than an inner-city med school.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The fact that the questions I prepared for (the tough ethical and moral questions) were not asked and it was more like a meet and greet than a high intensity interview.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

N/A ~ i did enough research to know what was coming.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

This is a very low stress interview. My thoughts about Penn State Hershey Medical changed significantly when I was able to talk to the other current students and talk with the staff. PSCOM is definately growing and expanding. They are not simply riding a name to get students but are taking leaps and bounds to be a great Med School.
