I interviewed and went there FT from 2004-2006 and some of the questions I got were :

(I was a career changer so most of the questions related to that)

1) Why are you changing careers?
2) What attracts you to medicine?
3) What characteristics/traits do you have that would make you a good doctor?
4) What other careers have you considered?
5) What did you learn from your previous career that would help you in medicine?
6) What would you do if you didn't get into medical school?
7) Tell me about yourself.

Out of curiosity, how long was your interview with UPenn? I have my first interview coming up, so I'm somewhat nervous. Should we be able to answer those types of questions in, say 1-2 minutes? Thanks

I think the whole interview was about 30 mins.
