How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, mock interview, read my primary and secondary applications, Temple website, talked with my host.

What impressed you positively?

There is going to be a brand new medical school with new technology integrated into the curriculum, very diverse population of patients and medical students, all of the students seem very happy and there are a lot of service opportunities.

What impressed you negatively?

The med school is in a very shady area of North Philly, the med school campus doesn't have any outdoor areas to eat or relax and hardly any windows.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, I felt prepared.

What are your general comments?

There are 2 interviews: one blind and one open. My blind interview went the usual 30 minutes, but my open file interviewer asked if I had any time restraints and when I said no, it went for 1 hour.
