sdn and amcas

What impressed you positively?

how nice everyone was, that the students have free time to hang out, that the interviewer was not going to probe me with millions of questions,how easy it was to forget about the scary surrounding area once you were inside

What impressed you negatively?

how scary the surrounding neighborhood was, i learned that the er gets at least one to two gun shot or stab wound victims a day (great clinical experience but bad if your the victim), that it is necessary for the school to have big spot lights around the school to make is safer at night, the it is necessary for cops to walk you to your car if you leave the school once in turns dark

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

lunch took place in the school cafeteria with the other students to be interviewed and the tour guides

What are your general comments?

The day started off with a general presentation of what to expect for the rest of the day. Then came the financial aid presentation that was very informative. After that we (about 14 girls) went on the school tour which was followed by lunch and the interview. The tour guides were amazing and seemed to be really content with there decision to go to Temple. They made is seem as if they had so much free time to hang out and play organized sports that the school provides. The surrounding area is beyond scary and thats coming from a girl who lives in a not so good part of queens. I found out that all of the students live 10 minutes away from school in the nice safe neighborhoods which kind of look like long island towns. Anyway, everyone basically hangs out in their town and only comes to school to study. By the way, everyone eats out of these trucks that park outside of school and sell fast food for really cheap. My interviewer was this old tiny lady that was so nice. She took notes on my amcas application before I arrived. The interview consisted of her reading out things that she learned about me from my application and me nodding my head. I was accepted eight dayss later.
