What are your general comments?

"Awesome interview. With a four on one style interview i didn't think i would like it, BUT, it gave me the chance to truthfully and HUMBLY tell my experiences and give honest answers.

If Temple is so bad why is the class almost full already? Think about it..." Report Response
