What impressed you positively?

"Mr. Hahn is very good at his job. He gives good explanations and presents the school well. They take pride in their stronge clinic. " Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The last thing to be discussed is the probability of being accepted. The class was almost completely full and they were interviewing dozens and dozens more applicants. Regardless of how stronge you interviewed, you still didn't have any kind of shot of getting in. Why waste our time and money if Temple wasn't truely interested?" Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"Let me set the record straight about the area: It is bad and I mean really bad. People who say otherwise are only kidding themselves. One current student said he isn't inviting his family to his graduation, because he is afraid for thier own safety. You truely have to see it to believe it. I have seen the projects in New Orleans and the ghettos in Detroit, but never have I ever seen such a miserable people inhabiting such a terrible atmosphere." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"I am confident that Temple produces great dentists. However, I don't understand thier strategy in interviewing hundreds of applicants with little to no intent on offering them acceptance. They tell the interviewers that if they are really interested then they have to e-mail Brian and tell him. What a joke! Would we really have put in the time, effort and money if we were not interested. I guess after applicants see the neighborhood first-hand, many might say, "thanks, but no thanks"." Report Response
