How did you prepare for the interview?

looked at the website (which didn't help a lot), read my AMCAS, this website

What impressed you positively?

I liked the students who gave the tour and the hospitals that we saw looked like good places to learn.

What impressed you negatively?

the area, the housing options, my interviewer who talked to me for 5 seconds and kept answering his phone and talking to me when people put him on hold, the food, the fact that they are on probation, and the study spaces.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that the area was so terrible.

What are your general comments?

Overall, this interview experience was terrible. The students seemed happy enough, although one of the tour guides said she was really mad when she got there and realized they were on probation (they hadn't told the students because they were appealing the decision). Also, I live in new york city, so i am accustomed to bad areas, but north philadelphia was terrible. two blocks away from the campus there are boarded up buildings all over the place and the train station was extremely sketchy, making my travel experience less than ideal.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
