How did you prepare for the interview?

Read Temple brochure. Watched the Monday Night Football game (Philly vs Atl) the night before. Stayed up to 2am, the interview was at 9am.

What impressed you positively?

The clinic. They aren't kidding when they say they have lots of patients. I went at 8:30 in the morning and the waiting room was packed. The school actually provides you with a list of 20 patients so you don't have to hunt down patients. Good to know you'll be getting tons of practice.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing big. Temple's been around sine the late 1800's, they know what they're doing. But the downside of their extensive experience is that they seem to have the attitude, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Because some of the facilities seemed outdated.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How cool old-town Philly is at night. I should have stayed in a hotel closer to oldtown Philly. I missed out on the sights and sounds.

What are your general comments?

The interview is great. The admissions staff realy tries to show you everything about the school and give you a taste of its atmosphere. It's different from other interviews where usually you're by yourself. At Temple you'll always be in a group so talk to the other applicants and get along. The thing I appreciated most about Temple is that they don't hide anything. At the end of the day you will know whether or not Temple is the school for you. The interview is the last thing you do, right after lunch, eat light so you won't feel drowsy.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
