What are your general comments?
I (heart) UPENN!!! Please take me! i love you. While I previously never considered it very seriously partly b/c I didn't think they'd consider me, and partly b/c I didn't know too much, after visiting this school is my numero uno.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
nothing - faculty interview was a funny surgeon; he was awesome very conversational! we had a good chat. Nothing from my application even came up.
How did you prepare for the interview?
their website, sdn, talked to students
What was the most difficult question?
student interviewer was a hard-ass; I didn't like her very much; she acted somewhat confrontational towards me about my activities as if she had a problem w/ them. This threw me off guard a bit. I guess she picked up on it b/c she later apologized for the tired + not-thinking-straight condition she was in and the attitude she projected.
What impressed you positively?
EVERYTHING! cool students, well organized, excellent training, ridiculously flexible curriculum, they have LOTS of $$$$ which makes for nice facilities, abundant resources (which you can be privy to as a student), campus is so much fun - lots of a other grad + professional students, great city w/ 3 classy martini bars within 50 feet of eachother - this is my kinda city.
What impressed you negatively?
cost! decent financial aid but not as good as say Duke's.
