How did you prepare for the interview?

I reread my amcas file, and reviewed my temple secondary.

What impressed you positively?

The lady who interviewed me was a real sweetheart, and instantly put me at ease. The amount of patient contact students are allowed is a real selling point.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

There was a lot of construction and drilling going on. One of the applicants jokingly remarked, "That must be the dental school downstairs." so for that killer one-liner i suppose it was worth it. The surrounding area is a little rough.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known how pleasant an experience the interview would be. I was dreading it based on the previous posts which painted a picture of a more impersonal proceeding.

What are your general comments?

The assistant dean of admissions came into the fishbowl and greeted all the applicants. She then proceeded to give a summary of what Temple was about, primarilly the topics of the probation (for financial aid reasons and old facilities, not academic reasons) and the new 13 story building being constructed projected to open 2007 dominating the discussion. A 30 minute information session regarding financial aid followed, and then a one hour tour of the hospital by 2nd year students. We then had lunch together, and following lunch I had my interview. And regarding the MD-JD who is famous on this board--I know him personally and he is a stand-up guy. He feels his style of interviewing is neccessary in order to fully assess and know the applicant. Since your interviewer functions as an advocate on your behalf at committee, if you are interviewed by the MD-JD count yourself as lucky! You are essentially getting a lawyer argueing for why you should be accepted on your behalf. So, just keep a level head and you should be allright.
