SDN, Temple Website, reviewed AMCAS & secondary material

What impressed you positively?

new building opening next year, high tech patient simulators, tour guides enthusiastic

What impressed you negatively?

my interviewed left me waiting for almost 40 minutes in a hospital waiting room. Obviously as a physician, he had things going on, but I found it disrespectful especially since I was not able to get any information to even confirm that he would still be able to see me. I was about 10 mins from leaving... also... the school is located in a bad area of philly, almost all students commute from a wide range of areas, the tour guides said that less then 50% of students attend class, not much class unity

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I had just been accepted the night before to one of my top choice schools, so I was very relaxed going in and had an open mind about attending Temple. Unfortunately, I found the experience pretty disappointing and my interviewer to be pretty unenthusiastic
