So, I'm heading out to Philadelphia tomorrow as I have an interview with Penn's post-bac. What I was wondering was what kind of experience the interview was like for those who did the interview for admission this fall. I've searched through the archived posts but they are quite outdated, as they have a new director now.

So I was wondering what the experience was like. From what the lady on the phone told me, its a 3 hour affair, half the time is spent touring the campus and the other half is spent in a 1v1 interview with someone on the admissions committee. Somehow I wonder if this is going overboard for a post-bac program, but it does suggest that the program attracts a lot of attention from many qualified applicants. Anything in particular I should be aware of? What was the interview experience like for you?

Finally, does anyone know where I can stash my bag in Philadelphia? For example, does 30th Street Station have lockers, like a bus station? Thanks in advance.
 
You can check bags with Amtrak at 30th Street station for a couple dollars. In theory you need an Amtrak ticket, but they never asked to see mine when I checked my bags there.
