Practiced at previous interviews. Talked to current students at the school.

The location, unlimited number of patients with every possible type of problem you could imagine. The students seemed like they knew what they were doing, the opportunities to pretty much gain any sort of experience you wanted.

What impressed you negatively?

the name Kornberg. the classrooms were a little outdated. i saw people sleeping on the sidewalk in front of the school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Brian is the greatest guy ever.

What are your general comments?

I LOVED temple dental. It is in a run down part of town but that makes it one of its strengths. Unlimited patient pool. Found out all of the students live about 20 min away from school, either down town or in Manayunk. From the sounds of it the first year class becomes really close, and parties a lot. seeing some hotties at the school was nice. if a cute girl can go to the school and survive anyone can. I learn that quite a few students have families and they survive. Brian is an amazing person you can tell he loves his job, and is great at it. He brings what other people say are faults of the school and turns them into positive aspects. Which is true, but does admit the place could use a fresh coat of paint. The group interview format was interesting, it sucked when two people before you said the same thing you wanted to say. So coming up with something new was awkward but sometimes you all have the same thing to say. I hope I get in, this school beats every other school hands down. They said that they are getting away from having the students do all the lab work which shows change.
