The interviews were very relaxed. I interviewed on Halloween, which made the experience even more chill. My student interviewer had come up with some creative Halloween based questions, which I found quite entertaining. The faculty interview was more serious, but not stressful. Overall, just know why Penn and why medicine? All the rest falls into place
