What impressed you negatively?

"The area is very squalid. The two blocks surrounding the hospital has the highest stabbing rate in all of Philly and Pennsylvania, according to our tour guide.

It felt like a prison." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"The person I interviewed with was not a doctor and at times it was difficult to explain my research/clinical experiences with him understanding. It reminded me of the time I explained my research to my grandmother, although she is a sharp cookie. I felt like I was carrying the interview more than he was. I'm not at all trying to sound boastful, but since I did get in, I really felt like the interviewers were lacking. Overall though, it was an easy interview." Report Response
