Temple interview

[Di227]

Hey everyone,
I was just wondering if any of you knew what the interview at Temple is like? I have an interview Nov 18th. I just sent them my transcripts but I don't have my letters of recommendations in yet, and I'm sure if they will have them by the time of the interview. Do you think this is a big deal? The secretary told me no, but I was wondering if anyone had any opinions?
I'm still pretty new to the podiatry school process. I applied to MD and DO schools in the summer, but I recently started looking into podiatry and thought it seemed really neat. So I shadowed a podiatrist and applied to 3 of these schools as well. Hopefully, all will work out!
Anyways...I'd love to hear your impressions about Temple's interview and the school itself!

Well, it's pretty laid back. Actually, it's really laid back. I actually went with my wife to her interview and they had group interviews. What I thought was really interesting was that they asked me to sit with them while they were having their interview! So, I got to see what it was like. It was just conversational...no stress...basic questions...like why podiatry? I was pretty surprised they asked me to come along with them...

The interview was with 1 interviewer and like 4 other applicants in a group setting...Hope this helps!

Look at the original post you monkey!

Look Mr. "Im a cool third year and am too good for 2nd years", Generallee never specified if it was Temple he/she was speaking of or if it was a different school he/she went to. Just because you are a self-proclaimed super genious of the front row who likes to answer Dr. Meetz's Rhetorical, roaming questions and hob-knobing with Dr. Knussel in front of the SEB, doesnt mean you can call me a monkey.

Just to clarify... it was Temple. However, I didn't mention this was in 2002....

CORRECTION! I just talked with my wife and she reminded me that she had two interviews. One with the group and one with a professor. The one with the professor is more serious and asked more detailed questions like grades, etc.

That sounds a little more like it. I would be skeptical if the school had a big group interview with no focus on the individual students.
