What impressed you positively?

The school clearly gives a very good clinical education (people all around the city would say they loved the hospital), lots of community opportunities, the hospital is great, and Philadelphia is a pretty interesting city and the school is in an area of the city with lots of history

What impressed you negatively?

the school could sell itself a bit better and the student tour guide was almost uninterested in taking us around

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

how many students would be interviewing on the same day

What are your general comments?

I arrived at the library and was amazed to see 30 other students interviewing that day. The lunch was ok and we were given a brief talk on Jeff Pride. Students picked us up for interviews which were very relaxed. We returned for more discussion on the curriculum and living in the Philly area. We were led in small groups on tours (I hope other people have better tour guides than I did). Then I had a little time before my faculty interview. My interview was over in the hospital. The interviewer was very nice and was very honest about his experience in the school.
