How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN and spoke to my host.

What impressed you positively?

The school is really committed to making a difference in the community. Philadelphia is an awesome place to do your clinical years.

What impressed you negatively?

The school is just too big. The students do not know each other and while it is not competitive it is not really collaborative. I just got a weird vibe.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the cafe was that bad.

What are your general comments?

I had an afternoon interview so I arrived about 10:00 for the general info and financial aid session. Then we had our tour with medical students which ended with lunch. The students were not sad but they did not seem particularly enthusiastic about Temple. After lunch I had my interview and left. My interviewer was really interesting and nice, though.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
