What impressed you positively?

"The school is very wealthy, and they treat their graduate students very well (as opposed to their undergrad students). For example, the school provides breakfast to the med students before every exam and a snack afterwards. Also, the curriculum is pretty sweet. It compels the students to be laid back. In fact, Penn students have the reputation of being the most laid back students of all the med students in Philly." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"For some reason, Penn students don't have a very high match rate. I'm not sure why this is so. I'm a student always looking a step ahead, and something like this is somewhat significant. Penn would be my first choice if the students were a bit more succesful." Report Response
