It was really great, there was 11 (or 12) of us. There is NO REAL INTERVIEW, they put you in front of the camera and you speak for 3-5 minutes as to what makes you a unique applicant. Don't worry, you'll be alone when you do this, no one will hear what you have to say hahaha. Oh and writing sample, I had to think for about 5-10 minutes before I wrote a single sentence because, I thought it was an easy essay, but you just have to find the right topic. Don't worry, they give you all the time in the world to get it done (as long as you don't write for 2-3 hours that is).
The 2 guys who were conducting the whole show (Jeremy and Brian) were really friendly, and on most times, goofy as hell. They are remodeling the whole clinic, it will look like a hotel once they are done and they are saying that by time we enter our 3rd years, this will all be done.
Overall, I went in there liking temple and left the day loving temple.... Yes their tuition is high for OOS like me, but their education seems top notch.
Oh and as far as the "interview" goes, like I said, there was no real interview, they put us in a room where we each introduced our selves, gave a little background info about our selves, and told them our hobbies. Then Brian would ask you a personal question... for example, I told them I was non-traditional coming in from the I.T industry, and he asked me "why dentistry", for others it was different questions (depending on what you say when you introduced your self)..... This all happens in a group, but its super friendly, so DON'T stress out.
I used orbitz, I got me a 2-way flight + 1 night at aloft hotel for.... I think it was like $290, which I thought was a great deal. There is a free shuttle from the airport to the hotel. Then I took a taxi from the hotel to the school (cost you $30-45, depending on traffic) and..... $40-50 from the school to airport. For me, the whole trip, including taxi and food cost me about.... $400
anyways, feel free to PM me if you have any questions, and... NO I can not tell you what the topic of the writing sample was... sorry 🙁
