Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The current students that gave the tour, the diversity of the students invited for interviews, the attitude of the interviewer about the school (look beneath the lack of pretty buildings and behind the fascades of nicer looking schools, and you'll find Temple is an impressive school etc.) People in the surrounding area in general were quite friendly.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The surrounding area--not impressed with Philly. The weather, which was cold and wet and windy. The school's staff, who didn't seem all that friendly or happy or helpful. The probationary status of the school, the cost of education.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

all the negative stuff would've been nice.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Enjoyed the interview, but in most part simply because she was a very sweet, old lady who seemed quite impressed with my record. Really liked the people I met (don't know if it's widespread, or just the people they show the interviewees), hated the area, the weather was as expected. The interview itself consisted of the person reading my file to me and telling me she liked me. Flattering, but she's the kind of sweet old lady who I could see doing that just because she's sweet. So it goes.
