What are your general comments?

"Some interviewees (especially the ones from CA) were mad that we were basically interviewing for a waitlist spot. This is my second year applying so I expected it with a late interview. I was in fact waitlisted but I still got in right around the May 15 deadline. So if you are waitlisted and interested in Temple don't give up hope yet. Also I get the impression that the probation thing is more logistics. Basically the LCME didn't like what they saw on a site visit as far as facilities and the school is now Building a brand new facility. I doubt it had anything to do with quality of teaching or student complaints. " Report Response
