What impressed you positively?

the schools rep for clinical dentistry...amazing. the clinical workload and requirements are way more than most other schools however, so if you don't like lab work, this may not be a good fit for you.

What impressed you negatively?

as anybody thats ever seen temple will tell you....the surrounding neighborhood. EXTREMELY bad part of town. you do not want to be around here after dark!!! (and sometimes you will have to be) they try to convince you that temple is very safe by downplaying the surroundings, but this campus really is located in a harsh part of philly.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing really...i've been to temple before so nothing was surprising. interest fact tho...they treat about 144,000 patients each year (which is an overwhelming number), so you'll have tons and tons of practice if you seek it. so if you really love to practice and work in the labs and clinics, there is a plethora of opportunity here

What are your general comments?

it was very laid back. almost silly, because i don't think they really learn that much about you. the interview day is more for you to learn about temple and to be honest, to give them the chance to sell their school. overall however, it is a very enjoyable day so just relax because its real easy. one thing, they seem to go out of their way to convince you that you'll be safe there, which kind of leads you to believe that if they push the issue as hard as they do, then it really is a concern

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
