What impressed you negatively?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"The lunch is SKIMPY. You get to a room filled with four tables that are already set. They have a half of a chicken salad wrap and then a little scoop of potato salad. The presentation is nice and they have a table of potato chips and cookies, but overall, very skimpy. And I sat at the table that eventually turned into all the MD/PhD applicants, so it was especially boring, but thankfully, they only allowed like 20 minutes for lunch." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"I came to Jefferson with a little bit of negativity. I had already gotten into my state schools and had no real reason to go to Jefferson over them, but the whole day impressed me. I left with a positive feeling towards the school, its facilities and the city in general. The area is great, the best part of Philadelphia to be in, and it is low key, relaxed but with great urban offerings. My interviewer was really nice and very interested in me as a person. He did not act like he had to do this as a part of the whole job, he actually liked meeting me and telling me about Jefferson." Report Response
