💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

It depends which faculty member you get...our group was more of a conversation. Basically, Why do you want to be a Dentist?
What do you do with your hands?

What was the most interesting question?

There were no extraordinary questions, although the essay was a bit unorthodox. It was simple though, probably only to measure your ability to complete coherent sentences, as it is not uncommon for students to pay "services" to write their admissions applications for them.

What was the most difficult question?

"What would you do if you did not get into Dental School, this year?" + What if you didn't get in ever?

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN and had a beer and cheesebuger at "Dave & Busters" You have got to go their if you are not from Philly.

What impressed you positively?

I loved seeing the clinic packed (i.e. this means you will finish in 4 years!!!). A very laid back enviroment that stresses creating excellent clinicians, because lets face it, as a dentists you are a mechanic of the mouth.

What impressed you negatively?

The only bad thing about Temple is that most students commute about 20min, some up to 1 hour away. Although, it is the norm, so everyone is doing it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I could have taken the airport train directly into the city center and saved $25 cab fare. It is so easy.

What are your general comments?

I had a lot of fun, but I was pretty excited to begin with. Make sure you check out Philly, expecially at night. Walk down South street and market, and if you are there on the "First Friday," the art galery's are free admission with beer&wine.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
