How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, Temple website.

What impressed you positively?

The amount of clinical hours and emphasis.

What impressed you negatively?

The amount of clinical hours and emphasis, not very much specializing after DMD. Also, Brian flat out told us that the best and brightest do not go to Temple, not the best thing to hear about a potential dental school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I read a lot about Brian and how great he was, but I was not as impressed. He singled people out and was not very professional. However, it was evident that he does love the school and and students; I did like that.

What are your general comments?

Stress free. The same question will go around the table and everyone has to answer it; another question may stem off from someone's answer and they'll have to explain further.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
