Other interviews

What impressed you positively?

I had one student interviewer that was awesome, she made up for the rest of the day, was very engaged and happy to have a meaningful conversation with me.

What impressed you negatively?

Students were disinterested, students didn't seem to show initiative in their education, was told by one student "I hope you get into the other schools you're interviewing at and can go there", did not like the idea of split campuses as it seems consistency in training may vary, anatomy lab groups are very large and you are only doing 1/3 dissections yourself, step performance was below national average, limited research emphasis.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I should have requested to interview at the Bryan campus.

What are your general comments?

I think having two different interview locations with two vastly different impressions of the school will lead to half of the students ranking this school considerably lower than they would have at the Bryan campus.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Do not split campuses for interviews, especially when most people will never be at the Temple campus
