What impressed you positively?

"The students seemed to really like it at Temple very much. They seemed laid back, but serious about what they are doing there. There seems to be a lack of competition among students and there are few to no "gunners" there. The faculty also seems to be great and liked by everyone I spoke to. Overall, seemed like the perfect environment for me to excel in as a medical student and be happy at the same time." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"I had a very sweet woman from the Pharmacology department as my interviewer. She could not have been any nicer. Just relax and know that the interview here is simply to get a chance for them to see how you are as a person, and nothing more. Its a good idea to have some intelligent questions for the students and your interviewer." Report Response
