What are your general comments?
Temple is really great. They do an awesome job of answering questions and making you feel relaxed throughout the day. The actual interview portion itself was very relaxed too. Obviously its nerve-wracking going into it, but as soon as you start to have conversation with your interviewer your heart stops racing and you feel pretty comfortable. Also, the current students who toured us gave their genuine opinions on everything you would ask. They were super helpful and willing to talk about anything.
💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, Temple Website, spoke with current students that I know at Temple
What was the most difficult question?
Is there anything that is not in your application that we should know about you? (I thought this was difficult because I didn't prepare for that specific question)
What impressed you positively?
The amount of clinical exposure is unmatched
What impressed you negatively?
Honestly nothing really. Maybe that the older part of the school is under construction, but that's only temporary obviously.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the interviewers (two of them total but you only interviewed with one or the other) would be in the room at lunch with you. You had the opportunity to speak with them before the actual one-on-one interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
Nothing really! I wish they could be a little bit more specific on when we will hear feedback but they are as honest as possible with explaining how many more seats they need to fill and what the timeline of hearing back looks like due to having every single member on the admissions committee weigh in on someone's acceptance.
