What are your general comments?

"As almost everyone else has said the interview was very laid back. The day was filled with valuable information and having access to students during lunch was really helpful. During the three hour lunch one of your interviewers will come in and get you (you are told what time your interview will be that morning so you know when its coming). The interviewers were members of the admissions board. My interview was in the lobby of Hill Pavilion and was very laid back. I heard from other applicants that their interviews were more confrontational, it just depends on who you get. The student body seemed very social and Penn seemed like a great place to go to school. I got a call from one of my interviewers four hours after my interview telling me I got in (however they have 2 weeks to give you an answer so don't worry if you don't get a call right away).
