Ok, so I am interviewing at PCOM tomorrow, and somehow managed to lose my email telling me when and where we are supposed to be. Has anyone interviewed there yet and/or interviewing there tomorrow that could help? Thank you
 
Evans Hall (main building) at 8:15 (though closer to 8 if you can). Sign in and say your there for the interview and admissions is right in the lobby. At that point you will see other people in suits. Follow them.

Just to add to that, the day starts with breakfast as a group at 8:15, then the interviews follow at 9:30. Interviews last about 20-30 mins. Definitely don't be nervous, my interview was sooooo laid back. No hard or tricky questions at all. They really just want to get to know you. You will hang out in "the fishbowl" before and after your interview. Students will most likely stop by to answer your questions and say hi. The day then concludes with a tour at noon.

You can park in the parking pavilion on campus, but it costs $5. I think that is all of the importnat info, but let me know if you have any other questions. I'll check back later!

lol, WaWa is like a 7-11, Quick Check, Sheetz, have any of those by you?

Sacrilage!!!!!! comparing Wawa to seven-eleven................ a tip for anyone coming to Philly. Never ask anyone for directions because the directions will always involve making a left at the wawa. Unfortunately, People in Philadelphia don't realize there is a wawa on every corner.


I live right next to a wawa so I am a tad obsessed
 
Oh NO.. The sheetz/wawa battle has started up. 😛 I'll say the neatest part about WaWa the one time I went there was the little kiosk to order my sandwich, the wawa tea wasn't too bad either...Best sandwiches are defintley from Wegman's though....
 
I think i'm going to go to WaWa right now. Studying for finals suck...and my SDN addiction doesnt help. 🙁

I've never been to a Wegman's but man do I miss Wawa. There is one on the UMD College Park campus and their sandwiches always hit the spot.. man I have a craving for one now 🙄 I'd take it there is one near PCOM, I would definitely stop by if I get an interview invite *crossing fingers*

Forget MD vs. DO......we've got to clear up this Sheetz vs. Wawa bull$hit... have you ever even had the priviledge of being in a Sheetz?

Forget Sheetz vs. WaWa. All I want to know if there's a Dunkin' Donuts nearby. Got to have my Dunkin Donuts coffee in the morning (and don't even try to tell me WaWa has good coffee ... ).

I am aware of their product..............and don't let this Dunkin donut stuff cloud the real issue here. You have no taste. I will assume it is just OB/gyn burnout and expect you to come to your senses on Monday. Unless of course you have the DRE that day. That may take a while to recover from
