What are your general comments?
I think that the overall experience was okay, but there were several things that Temple could have done to better the experience. The Director of Admissions sat us down in his office and went around one at a time and asked us questions about ourself or experiences that we had, which I felt was extremely nerve racking and somewhat pointless. The facilities are older, but they are striving to improve them. Overall, it was an okay experience.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
The only question I was asked was why I wanted to become a podiatrist.
What was the most interesting question?
I really was not asked any interesting questions. The professor that interviewed me simply looked at my file and said that everything was okay. I think more questions should have been asked.
How did you prepare for the interview?
As it was my first interview, I was a bit nervous so I just tried to relax and be as honest as possible on my interview.
What impressed you positively?
I was impressed by the fact that TUSPM is a part of Temple University and the Temple University Health System. This offers a lot of opportunity for students.
What impressed you negatively?
I was not very impressed with the facilities. Nor was I impressed with the way that the interview or day was planned and conducted.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wish that I had known the interview was going to be so relaxed.
