No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Went over my application, went over my responses out loud, reviewed my research material, read SDN.

What impressed you positively?

The school is set up in a way such that it strives to make its students succeed. It might not be the BEST research orientated school nor the BEST clinical school; however, personally I think that it truely strives to make sure everyone of its students succeed and is well prepared by the time they leave temple.

What impressed you negatively?

The school facilities are old. REALLY old. They are building a new building (14 stories) however its not going to be done until late 07 so that means we probably won't see it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it was really low stress and that all that preparation for high stress questions were a waste of time

What are your general comments?

Interviewer was great. Draw back for that is that its hard to get a read off of him. You do'nt know whether he truely likes you or he is just generally nice.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
