What are your general comments?

"The day seemed long but it was arranged efficiently by the staff and provided a great feel of everything the school has to offer. I was impressed by the enthusiasm of the student Admissions Officers, who pretty much followed us throughout the day answering any and all questions we had. I wouldn't have minded seeing more on the tour but it's obvious that the school's location in the heart of Philly offers plenty, both academically and socially. My student interview was not what I expected it to be and kind of awkward at times. The interviewer was nothing but pleasant, but asked me questions that I feel should be reserved for faculty interviews (e.g. why medicine? why jeff? why a year off? etc.). But, I managed to ask the student interviewer some questions about student life at Jeff, which I thought was the main purpose of this short interview. I gained a lot more from my interactions with other students throughout the day, possibly because they were a year ahead of my interviewer. My faculty interview was short and sweet, and in no way uncomfortable or stressful. I was asked some basic questions as well as specific ones pertaining to my current job and application. The post-interview wrap up was a nice touch and gave us a chance to ask any questions we had left, hang out with the applicants to compare notes, and schmooze with the students and Assistant Dean. Overall, it was an excellent interview day experience. " Report Response
