What impressed you positively?

Doubletree hotel and its great cookies, clinic seemed relatively busy, the students working for admissions seemed quite knowledgeable

What impressed you negatively?

Most of the admissions staff, especially david martin. Facilities, philly as a whole, board scores are above average for all schools but not that great, still accept GRE and DAT

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Thought temple would be a great school for me. However, I left the day not very impressed or happy with the school. There's a lot of &quot;talk&quot; at temple but very little &quot;doing&quot;

What are your general comments?

It seems to be a long day. As stated in other feedback on temple, there is a lot of down time for the other interviewees to finish. It kinda sucks because they give you lunch but everyone is nervous to eat because they can call you in for the interview at any time! The tour of the health science campus is more or less unnecessary...you won't be there until sometime 3rd year anyway. Plus north philly is a hole. Interview itself good but the rest of the day I was not impressed with.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
