No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Copied about 40 different questions from SDN to word and wrote out my own answers. It helped a lot because it helps you think through a full answer. Also, looked at the Schools website. Did a mock interview with one of my friends who took it seriously.

What impressed you positively?

The students genuinely enjoyed going to school there. (It wasn't fake because as we walked around they all said hello and cracked jokes). The hospitals were really nice and the faculty were all very helpful.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

No oncampus housing...may not be a bad thing though since it's pretty close to the ghetto. The rest of Philly is really cool though.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I researched the school pretty well...

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

It was pretty laid back. It was really hard to read my interviewer. I'm pretty sure the interview was open file, but he definitely didn't look at my apps. So, I made sure I carefully forced in everything I wanted to say from his general questions. Overall, my interviewer was really cool. The interview itself was very conversational. I really like Temple. Hopefully I get in!!
