Hi guys, i'm having my first interview at Temple on 11/10. For those of
you guys who already went, where did you guys stay?
How was the interview like? i heard that its a group interview, so how
many people are interviewing at the same time?
 
when i interviewed last year, there was an info session with about 16 students, then lunch. they give you a voucher for a certain amount of money for lunch but most people went over that amount bc it's so expensive, so bring some extra cash. for my group interview, i was one of 4 and we were all asked the same questions. i didnt really like it because a lot of us had the same answers for some of the questions and its hard to answer a question after 3 people already did. it takes the stress off a bit though.
 
Read the feedback here on SDN..it's pretty much the same what you read on that. They interview about 5 people and it's not bad at all. There's maybe around 5 questions and they're all posted on the feedback. I stayed at the comfort inn which I thought was okay. I really enjoyed the location but you might find something better. Try to see who else is going to the interview on the same day and stay in the same hotel so you all can take a taxi to school in tmorning....makes life easier in a lot of ways...my 2 cents

You take a tour after introductions and a power point on the school. Then you go to lunch. If your STARVING you will get three pieces of pizza, two drinks and a cookie. In that case you will spend more then 5 bucks. Bring extra cash anyways. Don't eat too much or you will fall asleep curing your group interview.

Ater lunch you split off into 4-5 people and are interviewed group style. Not a big deal. After the interview you meet up again and then go home.
 
Those of you who already had your temple interview, did you bring your suit case with you to the interview? if so did they have a spot for it? I believe I heard they do but I am just checking.
Thanks.
 
They do have a place for luggage, so don't be afraid to bring it.

Remember to bring the essay that they sent with the packet. If you forget it, its no big deal. I forgot mine, and they just had me fill it out there (they didin't care either way), But it would be better to have some time to write exactly what you want, than have them give you a blank paper, and 15 min to write it.
