No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

This website, mock interviews, checking out Interviewers info at Temple's website.

What impressed you positively?

How pleasant everyone was, from the receptionist to the interviewer.

What impressed you negatively?

We didn't get to see the ER, though we were supposed to.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Only that the interview is very informal.

What are your general comments?

Once you get to the admissions office, they give you the name of your interviewer and directions to where his office is located. I interviewed with Dr. Raul DeLa Cadena. He was very pleasant, very nice, easy to have a conversation with. I was only asked a few specific questions, and the rest was just us going off on tangents (soccer, research, school innovations, etc).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
