How did you prepare for the interview?

sdn, mail from Temple

What impressed you positively?

I've interviewed at many schools and I feel that Temple will prepare me to be the best dentist that I can be. No other school had nearly as many patients to treat as Temple.

What impressed you negatively?

I think they should switch to a one-on-one interview process. It made the actual interview portion of the day seem fairly insignificant.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I had no idea about the essay at the end of the day. No worries though, the questions have no right or wrong answer and are all fair.

What are your general comments?

My personal opinion is that the best way to become skilled in dentistry is to practice dentistry on real people. Temple affords you this opportunity much more than most programs. While fancy simulation labs are nice recruiting tools, I'd much rather work on real people. Everyone of the students that I ate lunch with were excited about being at Temple. You hear a lot about the surrounding area which is bad, but students don't live there anyway. I have several friends who live and go to school in Philly and they all love it.
