How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, website, look over amcas but tried to be as natural as possible

What impressed you positively?

Great facilities with $100 million in major additions, students were great and surprisingly very happy for being in med school-- student passing by talked about their experiences and are definately a big asset of PSU and its overall personality

What impressed you negatively?

Tour could have been better but nothing too drastic

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

did the research so i was okay- fyi...stay at the COMFORT INN if you cant get a host- its down the street and has shuttle service from Harrisburg Intl and the Hershey med center for free

What are your general comments?

Great experience! Conversational interview takes a little bit of the pressure off and you get chocolate from Winnie at the end. Certainly catapulted to being among the top choices for med-- I wish I was a PENN resident though, it would make the decision so much easier
