How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN

What impressed you positively?

Friendliness of the staff, the stress-free interview, history of the school, and the fact that you have access to everyone on the main campus. The pharmacy building seemed really lively too.

What impressed you negatively?

The location was sub-par, although it wasn't as bad as most people made it out to be. My biggest problem with Temple was its facilities. The lecture halls and the labs seemed really old and cramped. I didn't like the fact that students spend the entire day in one lecture hall as the professors rotate instead of the students.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I knew the interview was going to be stress-free and that the interviewer was just going to ask questions at random.

What are your general comments?

There's no real way to prepare for this interview since the questions are different for each interview. The interviewer does not take notes so the school's method of evaluation is very unorthodox, if you compare it to the other schools. This was my first group interview so I was dreading it but the interview was conversational and stress-free.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
