How did you prepare for the interview?

Read this website, Temple's website, my application

What impressed you positively?

The new Shriner's Children's hospital, amount of clinical training available.

What impressed you negatively?

Lack of research emphasis, lack of leadership (dean, provost, etc. Their new dean will start this Friday, Nov. 1st)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No real housing available on campus. In-state tuition break not all that great.

What are your general comments?

Interview experience was typical experience: financial aid presentation, tour, lunch, interview. Interview was short and sweet, and very direct. It probably amounted to what some people would deem a stress interview, but my interviewer didn't bother me. Oh, and if North Philly bothers you, you scare too easily. West Philly is worse.
