"A number of suggestions: 1: I got my interview invitation in January, but they did not have any slots until late March, which is very late in the season, I had already been accepted to another school which may impact if I go here or not. 2. Their Student Host program is a mess, they use a pretty lame system which in essence, involves the person interested in staying with a host looking through a PDF of all of the Temple students who say they are 'interested' in hosting a student. I emailed over 10 people and each one of them were too busy. While I respect that med students are busy, the school should do the matching, not me. This made me frustrated that I couldn't get the opportunity to learn more about this school through a student host. 3: I received an email from the Recruitment, Admissions and Retention (RAR) Program, and was asked to have a meeting with a counselor before my interviews. The meeting was pointless and all they did was ask me where I had gotten in, and what the dates were for my submittal (if thats a word) of my applications. I think they were concerned that I had fallen through the cracks as I was a qualified applicant and was only being asked to interview very late in the cycle. The meeting was no help at all and left me feeling confused more than anything else, also the office was a mess and looked like a paper bomb had gone off." More from this Member | Report Response
