What impressed you positively?

"small class size (although it is growing) and curriculum. also, all the students really seemed to like the comraderie of their class." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"the drive to temple, the early morning, overall, i'm just not sure what i really think about temple - not much to do." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"that you can spend most of your fourth year electives wherever you want. also, b/c of the small class, students get much one on one time with the attendings during 3 and 4 years" Report Response

What are your general comments?

"overall, a very long day - expect that. both interviews were open file and asked me about specific experiences, quoted parts of my personal statement and asked me to expand. the interviewers were very nice and laid-back and all the students said that working at Scott&White is worth living in temple. overall, i didn't fall in love with the school, but i left liking it a lot more than when i came. they do a great job at selling the school's high points and a great place to come especially if you're interested in any type of primary care medicine. however, be ready for ethical questions and list questions in your interview."
