No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the bulletin, re-read my AMCAS application and a couple of Temple press releases. I also tried to keep up with current events just in case.

What impressed you positively?

I had an appointment with a representative from the RAR office (minority Recruitment and Retention) before my interview. The gentleman was extremely funny and encouraging.

What impressed you negatively?

I found the facilities to be rather small and meager. The school is actively constructing new buildings and rennovating the old ones, however. Also, my interviewer's taking a phonecall during my interview made me a bit nervous.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known that my interview questions would be more concerned with explaining any academic deviations. I would have made up more palatable explanations (just kidding...I think...)

What are your general comments?

Overall, an OK experience.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
