How did you prepare for the interview?

I just read through the cataloge that I recieved, I looked over the website, and checked out SDN.

What impressed you positively?

I was really impressed by the solid clincal training that students recieve at Temple, they have an abundance of patients, so filling requirements is never a problem. Everyone was very friendly and encouraging. Their new building is beautiful and the clinical facilites are clean and organized.

What impressed you negatively?

As much as I liked the part of the school that I did get to see...I wasn't shown the old building, which is where all the lecture halls are. Also, there are only two dent-sim stations. It would have been nice to meet some more faculty members.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The location is really not as bad as some people make it out to be. I've found that a lot of great dental schools are in poor areas...thats where dental care is needed most, so it happens to be where dental students learn the most.

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was a great day. Brian (the admissions coordinator) really did a good job of acqainting all of us with the school, with each other, and with him. Speaking to random students throughout the tour was a good way to hear about the current students' impressions of the school. Students seem to be really prepared to practice on their own when they graduate. The group interview was pretty different, but it did take a lot of the pressure off.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
