Reviewed their website, pamphlet. SDN.

What impressed you positively?

The students were very friendly and I enjoyed the atmosphere. It was really laid back. The clinic experience you will get there is second to none. And Philadelphia is a great city. People always say the neighborhood by the city is the worst they have ever seen. It's really not bad. It's not the best, but it's not any different from what you would see in any major city. Just be smart and you'll be fine.

What impressed you negatively?

Some students told me if you want to specialize, this is not the place to come. Of course it's possible to specialize if you go there, but they said academically, Temple is not as strong as some other schools.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there was really nothing to stress over. I was really nervous because this was my first interview, but it went great.
