How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, Temple's terrible website

What impressed you positively?

The clinical experience is impressive.

What impressed you negatively?

The area is sketchy, the students I met were unfriendly, they laugh at the fact they are on probation.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The med school is 17 blocks from the undergrad campus (I wish the man at the hotel knew that. I walked 3 miles just to find out I had to take a bus if I didn't want to miss my interview).

What are your general comments?

I was not impressed by Temple. The interviewer wasn't interested in anything I had to say and went down the question list without engaging in any conversation. The students that led the tour did not paint a pretty picture and didn't seem to be enjoying their time there (maybe it was because exams were coming up, but I didn't get a good vibe).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
