How did you prepare for the interview?

just looked at temple website and reviewed my amcas application

What impressed you positively?

3rd and 4th years seem to be awesome at temple. The doctors at Temple hospital really treat their medical students as if they were residents, and there are a ton of opportunities to get your hands 'dirty' in. Students are allowed to help out with procedures/suture, etc. Great clinical practice!! They are also building a new building, and it really seems like Temple has been implementing so many new changes to really bring up their name. It's a school that is definitely looking ahead to the future

What impressed you negatively?

The only negative aspect might be the immediate location (north philly), but on the bright side, you really get to see unbelievable cases (because it is a local hospital).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Interview experience was good. I messed up a little bit and blanked out when he asked for my extra currics (my mind just died at this point for some reason), but I recovered. I made it very very very clear that I was very interested in their school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
