"The day starts w/ applicants being brought into a conference room w/ nametags next to their seats at the center table and all the residents sitting along the border of the room in chairs. We were told that there was coffee and breakfast in the back, but weren’t given any time to get any until a few hours later. Not a big deal, but I could have used a cup of coffee. Chairman then asks applicants questions about some aspects of their application that he found interesting and asks that give a roughly 1 min answer to all those in the room. Some were cut off in the middle of speaking so he could correct them about a perceived inaccuracy in their answer or to make a teaching point to the group. Definitely unique and not for those who don’t like being on the spot unexpectedly, but it was clear that he had read our applications as the questions were very personalized. This program has tons of potential and the resources to pull off being elite in the future. However, it does not yet provide the level of excellent and well-rounded training at the other Philly programs or other highly regarded programs such as Spaulding, RIC, Kessler, Mayo, UWash, UMich, etc. At this point in time, the UPENN name is still the best part of this program."
