How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Mock interview, reading over secondary and AMCAS app. Reading through school's website.

What impressed you positively?

New teaching and research building opening in May, 2009. Absolutely gorgeous building. Friendliness and positive outlook of students.

What impressed you negatively?

Location. This school is in the worst neighborhood of Philadelphia, and the fact that the tour pointed out the fact that they have &quot;stadium lights&quot; on top of the hospital so that the streets have &quot;cloudy day&quot; levels of light all night long for safety reasons was slightly disconcerting.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Temple requires two interviews, one open interview with someone on the admission committee, and another with either a faculty member or a 3rd or 4th year student that is a closed interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
