How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read over AMCAS, read over secondary app., reviewed Temple's "bulletin," looked over specifics of my research

What impressed you positively?

Laid back atmosphere. Students work together, not overly competitive.

What impressed you negatively?

Temple is not in the best neighborhood but the surronding area is not as bad as I remember it. Temple could stand a little more technlogy in its curriculum.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing about the school but the hotel I stayed out was in the heart of the city and lacked parking... I paid $22 to park in a garage overnight

What are your general comments?

The lady that interviewed me was one of the sweetest little ladies I've ever met. She made hot chocolate for me. I can not stress enough that the interview I was given was LOW-stress. She had done her homework on me, and really used the interview to build the case that she was going to make for me to the admissions committee (which meet every Friday). My interview was in the admissions office and I was told that decisions are made within 6 weeks.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
