What impressed you negatively?

"The interviewers were not friendly in the least bit. When it was my turn to ask questions I asked "what percentage of 4th years get into their 1st choice for residency." The Director of Admissions looked at me and just replied "that is a really bad question." I take that to mean that she either did not know the answer or did not want to answer. Regardless, there is no such thing as a bad question. There was no need for her to be rude. Also, we were told that the members on the panel had spent a great deal of time reviewing our apps before the interview. Maybe they forgot to do that with mine cause they were asking me basic questions that were clearly answered in my secondary. " Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"That the panel would not care about getting to know me. " Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Decent tour, but a bit odd. When I asked one of the tour guides why he chose PCOM he told me was that it was because they had a rugby team. That's like saying you chose a school based on the chiks! Lastly, they think that the fact that the 76rs practice there is such a draw for their school. I mean, this is med school, I care about the academics, clinicals, acceptance into residency, etc..I don't care if the 76ers practice there! " Report Response
