SarPlayer I likedthe school very much. It is one of my top three choices if givenan acceptance. I received an invitation to interview before I turned in a secondary. I think I should hear from them in a couple of weeks-hopefully! My interview was with a retired Physiology professor, it lasted an hour and 20 minutes. I think it went well, but I don't think it was amazing because my interviewer was real soft spoken and didn't really challenge me. It was a very really laid back interview, the kind that I can't see anyone not having a good interview. Hopefully he will fight for me at the committee meeting? I wonder if getting interviwed without a secondary means that they relly like my application or if they did that with everyone from PA to make the application process go faster. From all the doctors I have spoken with, Temple is the place to go to be a doctor. The clinical training one will receive there far surpasses many of the top ranked schools. Temple does not have that much basic research as schools like PENN etc. however, this leaves them with more emphasis on clinical research and medical practice. Furthermore, if one wants to basic research, they are not precluded from going to Penn and working with professors there. As any one who has worked in a lab knows, researchers are always looking for workhorses who will run assays, write papers etc, regardless of what medical school that student is from. Besides, Philly is truly one of the best cities to study medicine, lot of patients, hospitals, and the city I think has a lot to offer.
