What are your general comments?

"By God's Grace, both of the interviewers were amazing. They did their best to try to get to know me as a person and just asked me to expand on some things from my AMCAS. The second interviewer was more interested in what I wanted to specialize in and so on. The students that took us to lunch were great too. The first years had just finished a series of tests the week prior to my interview, an the second years were actually taking a 2 part exam, the second part of which they were going to take soon after the lunch time. Still, they all were very happy with their choice to attend Penn State, and were highly enthusiastic about it. " Report Response
