How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, Book on interviewing

What impressed you positively?

How knowledgable the professor was that interviewed us

What impressed you negatively?

The interview was group, so I didn't feel like temple got to know enough about me as I would have liked. It was also very discouraging when they mentioned how many people they interviewed as compared to how many actually get in.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It was more of a discussion rather than a question/answer interview.

What are your general comments?

I arrived at the school. I went on a tour. The guide was a student which was nice because we were able to get a student's perspective. The interview was a group interview. Like I said, this does not afford the opportunity to express yourself the way that you would like. You are more or less competing against 3 other people in the room.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
