What are your general comments?
When i got to school i saw about 15 people dressed in shirt and ties. I immidiately thought that they were here for interview, and soon to be realized that it was a group interview. Temple seems to be interviewing everyone who met the minimum GPA some admission person told me it was 3.25 minimum. There were 5 or 6 of us and was interviewed by a faculty member. he said some words regarding the school and himself and went to questioning. he had an hour to interview us so answers had to be concise and clear. you had about 15 minute or less to impress the interviewer so it was very nerve rackening. he asked each interviewee a science question. i had pH, others were not too lucky. they were asked to describe krab cycle, heienzberg's uncertainty principle, chemical bonding, etc. after that we were asked to write an essay, followed by a quick tour.
