What are your general comments?
Atrocious. As I said, I was not interviewed but lectured. It almost seemed the dpm that interviewed me was trying to talk me out of being a podiatrist. He told me how hard it is too get paid etc.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Do I do well on standardized tests?
What was the most interesting question?
None. I was only asked a few very basic questions to verify information in my file, but that was it.
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN feedback, reviewed my file.
What impressed you positively?
Not much. The school does own its own hospital system. However, they oversell themselves, and repeat the same information over and over. Philly is a cool city, and that is about it.
Mr. Martin does take you around the city, and it is an awesome city. Cool things to see all over.
What impressed you negatively?
Everything. Temple had been my #1 choice until I visited. Very old building. Mr. Martin is a marketer, and he definetly tries to sell you. He sold me right out the door, and made me change my mind. My interview was terrible, because the interviewer did not get to know me, but lectured me on various subjects. Went from #1 to not in the game.
