What impressed you positively?

"I was happy to learn that the first two years are spent not in Philadelphia proper but at a quiet, pretty campus outside the city with labs, classrooms, food, and the fitness room all centrally located. There are many local hospitals nearby for rotations. The PIL program option for small-group learning sounds interesting. I got to see an anatomy laboratory in progress." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"Several students (myself included) had to take the student shuttle downtown for our interviews, and one student had to duck out of the tour early in order to make it to his appointment on time. Students came and went to interviews and lunch at different times, which was somewhat disruptive for the people working on their ethical dilemma writing samples at the time. A car would probably be necessary." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"The whole process was very low-stress, and both interviewers (one faculty open-file, one student closed-file) were relaxed and friendly.
