What impressed you positively?

The students. They were very enthusiastic baout the school and took more time then they had to to answer questions. Also, the diversity of the students.

What impressed you negatively?

The neighborhood brings some unique challenges to attending the school. Also, the interviewer made some assumptions about me instead of taking the time to ask additional questions.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The school is committed to clinical medicine in an urban environment.

What are your general comments?

The school was more or less what I expected, with a few exceptions. The neighborhood could become a problem after a while, but this also offers clinical experiences that can't be found elsewhere. The students were the highlight of the interview. They believe in the education they are receiving at Temple and were willing to share all aspects of their experience thus far. They went beyond what was required of them as part of the tour.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
