Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The new lecture hall for the 1st years was nice. Also, we had the opportunity to talk with a lot of students who said that Temple was a very noncompetitive environment amongst classmates.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The school teaching philosophy seemed extremely traditional with little opportunity to take electives unrelated to medicine and there didn't seem to be very many opportunities to study abroad.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I actually knew this beforehand, but just so you know: the time of your interview is when you should be at your interviewer's office so you should expect to arrive at the school at least ten minutes earlier so you can find your interviewer.

What are your general comments?

When they say "open file" they mean open file. My interviewer had practically memorized my whole application quoting back at me my GPAs from each seperate year of college (I didn't even know them) as well as my personal statement, all of my extracurriculars, my MCATs and why I transferred schools. Many of the questions concerned me expanding on aspects of my application. On the other hand, most of the other interviewees who didn't have my interviewer said their interviewer asked them almost nothing and it was extremely laid back. Go figure.
