Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The passion and encouragement to pursue research and leadership opportunities. The student lunch was a good opportunity to talk to students but some interviews went on during time and subsequently missed most of these interactions.

What impressed you negatively?

Too much selling of the city of Philly and not enough about the school. The tour was not student lead and was presented in a very bland manner.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I did not ask but they did not offer me coffee in the morning so I was pretty beat by lunch.

What are your general comments?

I went into my interview with Temple being my first choice. I absolutely love the city, students, research, and the clinic. However, the facilities are outdated (personal preference in these matters), and felt there was a lack of connection between the admission faculty and the interviewers. It was very matter of fact and presented without much enthusiasm- something that I did not encounter at previous interviews. I highly encourage student lead tours and a much bigger emphasis on the great things that make Temple Podiatry (not philly, not Temple MD school, etc.) a top program. I left feeling like it was not the right school for me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

David was kind, knowledgeable, and welcoming. He gave a thorough rundown of the city - a little too much time in my opinion. Philly is a great city, that is easy to sell. But I felt as though more was said about the city than was the school. I highly recommend having student lead tours instead of admission faculty lead tours to give a more personal perspective on things. In fact, the tour guide missed a few talking points that were brought up with David later during the day. I wish we toured the clinic more - it is one of the schools biggest selling points.
