Any interview tips for Temple? Any advice on how to prepare for their essay?

Temple's essay is no big deal. It'll be some topic that has no right answer. I think mine was "How do you tackle a big responsiblility" or something like that. Just be yourself, and write what comes naturally.

One tip when interviewing at temple, make sure you remember the names of everyone there (especially the students you meet). Also, if you really like the school, email them after and tell them how much you liked it and why. Trust me, they will appreciate that.

I don't think it works that well even you email them after interview. Since almost everyone would do that, you would get polite reply with no more than 5 sentenses for sure. It just likes everyone would say XXX are their first choice during the interviews, otherwise, they won't even attend.

grettlin,

I shared that same opinion. But the Temple secretary told us at the end of the interview, that if we really liked temple, to email our thoughts and they would print that out and put it in our application file for the admissions comittees to read.

So the essay is easy? Any other pearls would be greatly appreciated.

Poku,

I applied in late dec. My interview was in march. So that really hurt my chances. Mark Lombard told me that if I had applied early I would have been accepted. So apply early!! But now that I got into Tufts, I could care less!

I thought it was easy. Since there is no right answer, it must be easy! Dont stress over it. Everyone gets a different essay question, so you may not get the same one I did. Make sure to spend some time and fill out that pre-interview summary that they email you. Your interviewer will read this over and may ask you some questions off of it.

Since all of you have already heard from Temple, maybe you can clue me in? I've heard absolutely nothing from them, not even an acknowledgement that they received my materials. I called the secretary to see if I should send in my application fee, she told me to wait until they contacted me. How long am I supposed to wait? I submitted my application in early August. *anxious*
