How did you prepare for the interview?

Previous interviews, Temple website (not all that helpful/informative), this site.

What impressed you positively?

Children's Hospital, facilities were nicer than I thought they'd be. The cute girl on my tour.

What impressed you negatively?

Our tour guides told us that they liked the school, but for most of our tour they complained about how much work they had and how stressed they were. They seemed pretty stressed. The area, of course, leaves quite a bit to be desired--it's very destitute and run down and rather depressing. Cafeteria wasn't great. Traditional curriculum.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Basically this school was pretty much what I thought it would be going in. It's not bad, but it's not at the top of my list. The interview was incredibly short (15 minutes or less) and consisted of very generic questions that were read from a list. No real chance to develop a rapport with the interviewer.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
