How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, Temple graduate, Temple website

What impressed you positively?

Brian Hahn (awesome), the clinical program, and the students we spoke with were all impressive. All of the students seemed enthusiastic and happy - Kornberg was such a positive place.

What impressed you negatively?

Temple could use a few upgrades, but otherwise it was great.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I really didn't need to be nervous. I was in a good group of applicants and the group interview wasn't as weird or competitive as I thought. I pictured applicants arm-wrestling and fist-fighting for a chance to speak but it was easy to say what I wanted and everyone was very friendly.

What are your general comments?

Temple is a great school and I hope I get in. It is definitely a family there and you'll get your money's worth of experience in the clinic. Plus Philly is an awesome city.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
