What impressed you positively?

nice campus for being right in the middle of Philly, there is so much Jeff Pride by the Admiss office it can be too sugary, has student housing, they have been around forever but are still building a massive brand new research building, and they already have a beautiful 10+ story research tower

What impressed you negatively?

you interveiw with a lot of people, I was in a group of MD/PhD people of 13 for only 10 acceptances, and then we all met up with the MD only applicants, there were about 40 of them

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that I would be in a huge group of interviewees, even thought you dont spend too much time with them outside of orientation

What are your general comments?

began day very early, had description of MD/PhD program, tours of labs, then went to med school orientation, they beat you over the head with Jeff Pride and how they dislkie Penn, the med school interveiw went well, he was a family doc who was easy to talk to and was interested in what I said, then had interviews with scientists, this went well too, there is great research going on there, very progressive, and the PI's seem great to work for, hope I get in!!
