What impressed you positively?

Student's enthusiasm about the school and the amount of activites students can get involved with

What impressed you negatively?

Interview was very short and not too many questions were asked.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you are staying in a hotel and take the subway to Temple (cheaper than taxi), don't take the Cecil B Moore stop. Everyone there will tell you to take this stop but that leads to the undergraduate campus. It's two stops more (I believe it starts with an A...sorry I forgot) and it will drop you off where the law and medical school is. (When you take the subway, it'll make more sense)

What are your general comments?

I was really nervous because it happened to be my first interview. I was asked questions that I felt were not true questions an interviewer should ask to get to know me. Overall, I wasn't asked many questions and most of our interview was composed of me asking questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
