What impressed you positively?

"You get a lot of student interaction (with mostly M1s), and they really want to make you feel important and welcome. Students are incredibly friendly; everyone will ask you if you have any questions and make an effort to get to know you. Interviews are very relaxed, but still designed to get to know you. Both my interviewers knew my file well, had questions prepared, and were interested in hearing my answers. They answered my own questions, and overall, it felt very much like a conversational interview. Students really love this school. I mean, REALLY love this school. So much so, that it came across a little propagandistic, honestly (which I suppose leads me to my negative points)." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"I will echo what others have said about most students and interviewees being from an Ivy or similar standing school. This isn't in of itself a negative quality, but Penn is definitely not the most diverse in terms of undergraduate institution or geographic location (a lot of people seem to be from the northeast). Some people won't care about this, but I think it's fair to let people know if they do. Interviews are all in the afternoon, and it's a long day in general. I personally would rather have morning interviews and get them out of the way." Report Response
