How did you prepare for the interview?

"SDN, re-read amcas application and secondary application, school website, asked lots of questions during the tour. I highly recommend doing your interview after the tour and meeting with the med students, it's the best way to know about the school and to be prepared for the interview." Report Response

What impressed you positively?

"The med students were incredibly enthusiastic about Temple. They all seemed to most of the kids in their class and they emphasized how friendly and non-competitive their class is. Also, the students really emphasized how easy it is to get clinical experience at Temple. Even as a first year student, you can shadow any doctor at the hospital, and the patient body is very diverse." Report Response
