"The facility was MUCH better than I expected, and is expanding rapidly. The faculty I spoke with were real people, brilliant and kind. The day itself was very laid back." Report Response
"The students who ate lunch with us and gave us the tour seemed kind of "frat-boy" and joked a lot about how nobody felt like they worked too hard. Now, granted, they were 1st-years." Report Response
"That Penn St was so much better than I thought. They have a great commitment to education and seem to listen to their students." Report Response
"The day itself was good. I chose the early shift (8:30-2) and I'm glad I did. That way, the interviews were out of the way in the morning and I could relax and enjoy the lunch and tour. The faculty interviews are nothing to be scared of-- they are very nice and interested in knowing you better and clarifying things in your application. The tour was a little longer and slower than it needed to be (done by a volunteer) but it was a good chance to see highlights of non-patient areas. Oh, and if you have the third morning interview slot and miss the beginning of the admissions presentation (which starts around 11), don't stress too much. Everything they talk about is on the website." Report Response
