How did you prepare for the interview?

They told us in the application material to prepare a 5 minute talk. I was expecting to get up and give a speech in front of a group. As it turned out, the admissions director sat at the head of the table with 5 students sitting around the table. She asked us all one question and we started at one side of the table and then took turns answering it. This can be stressing for some as they wait for their turn to speak and they hear other people give the same answers they want to give.

What impressed you positively?

The students seemed happy. There is a subway stop right next to the school.

What impressed you negatively?

The students were crammed together in this big preclinic lab. I was warned about it before, as is everyone, but the surrounding neighborhood is very rough. The student cafeteria was not impressive. Since it is not really that safe to eat within walking distance of campus, this was a disappointment.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Brian Hahn is a also interviewing you although you don't know it. He's the recruitment coordinator (and an excellent one). He'll throw out a trick question like "anyone interested in research?" The correct answer is "No!", because Temple does not have any research to speak of. I had a bit of an attitude going in to the interview since I thought I was highly qualified. However, I did not get a timely acceptance from the school and withdrew my application after I got into what I thought were better schools. The admissions director can pick up on attitudes very quick. They're not just looking for the best students, they want the students that want to go there. You have an opportunity to ask questions during the interview. Save you hard questions for the students. I asked the admissions director to explain the safety issues for the campus and you could just see her bristle.

What are your general comments?

This could be a great school for those seeking a hard-core clinical education. Although campus life is not likely to be dangerous if you use common sense, it is certainly not going to be much of a campus life. If you want to get accepted, you must really show (or fake) interest. When Brian gives you his e-mail address, write him back after the interview and say positive things.
