Report Response | I was asked this too

Those were the only questions, the majority of the 30 minutes was spent listening to my interviewer talk about Temple. He asked if I had any questions for him several times. He said he didn't like the classic "why do you want to be a doctor" question. Nothing hard, at all, I really did little talking.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read info on their website. Talked to a Temple alum. Got 3 hours of sleep (bad idea I might add).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

My interviewer told me that he was impressed with my file and I have a good chance of getting in. Security on the campus is tight so saftey is not a real issue.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Overall, there was just a bad aura at Temple, for me. The facilities are pretty poor. I wouldn't get to use the new medical school bldg they are planning to construct. You can't live near campus. No safe restaurants or anything else worth while near campus. Lectures are 8 to 3 everyday. The tour, and the whole experience, didn't leave me thinking about the positives of Temple but rather the negatives.
