<p>How long did it take for you to get your interview after you submitted your ED application?</p>

<p>It is better to know enough about the school. ie. programs your interested in and especially WHY you are interested. </p>

<p>Seas - Again, show interest by presenting how much you know about the program and how you will take advantage of what it has to offer.</p>

<p>Dress Code: I’m a guy… so slacks + collared shirt/tie/dress shoes</p>

<p>Greeting: Hi…?</p>

<p>Gift: No necessary, might even weigh you down since it can be considered as a “bribe”</p>

<p>Be relaxed is important, even though you may get a few hard questions. keep your cool and answer honestly.</p>

<p>OHS1979: uhm, probably…two weeks?</p>

<p>You don’t need to know much history about Penn but know its philosophy, academic policies, etc.</p>

<p>Dress code: khakis, polo.
Greetings: hello, i’m [name]. offer hand for handshake.
Dont buy anything for the interviewer. Could be misinterpreted as bribery or something.
Arrive 10 minutes early to be safe but don’t go in yet. Knock on the door about 1 minute early.
Be relaxed. It helps. They won’t grill you. They barely ask any questions. Its just a conversation.
The interviewers are human.</p>

<p>Don’t worry about it.</p>
