How did you prepare for the interview?

I read the "Medical School Headquarters, Guide to the Medical School Interview"

What impressed you positively?

Their curriculum has been improved each year. Their board exam pass rates were nearly perfect. Their anatomy lab was state of art. Overall, it had a very good feel to it.

What impressed you negatively?

The grading scale is not A, B,C,D,F. It is all number based in order to rank you compared to your peers. Seems to be very competitive.

How rainy Philly can be!

What are your general comments?

LOVE the program at Temple so much that I will be moving across the country with my family to go there!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None, they were amazing! Mr. Martin was the most friendly, charismatic, and overall welcoming person that any medical school could have.
