How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the Temple packet they sent to me and their website.

What impressed you positively?

The curriculum of Temple. If you go here you will be more clinically proficient than most any other dental students in the country.

What impressed you negatively?

Not a whole lot. The area is NOT as bad as people say. It's on Broad St. which is basically the heart of the city (although it is 10min north of Central Downtown area). Whatever people say about the area, don't listen you can ride the subway, take the bus or do whatever else without too much fear. It's no worse than boston, DC or new york.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not a whole lot. Brian Hahn is a great guy and people who trash on him must either be socially backwards or try too too hard to be "superstudent" (you know those applicants who have been everywhere done everything and try to brag their way in to school). He doesn't like students like that, who does?

What are your general comments?

Awesome interview. With a four on one style interview i didn't think i would like it, BUT, it gave me the chance to truthfully and HUMBLY tell my experiences and give honest answers. The other applicants were really trying to hard to tell the interviewer what they thought he wanted to hear. Those that gave Temple a negative review are just plain haters. If Temple is so bad why is the class almost full already? Think about it...

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
