"There were two interviews. One group conversational interview with David Martin, and a personal 1 on 1 interview with a faculty member. Interviewer #1 (David Martin) How did you come about podiatry? Asked about my work experiences in the nursing home I worked in. Asked how long I shadowed a podiatrist. That was all, he then moved on to the next person. I think he just wanted to see how I would react in a group. It was not stressful at all. He made me/everyone feel comfortable. " Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Interviewer #2 (faculty member) Why Podiatry? Tell me about your research (most of my interview was about my research)... More questions about specifics in my research. With the limited amount of shadowing I have done (only ~50 hrs), Do you think you are making the right choice to attend pod school? Asked me to explain a couple grades. Asked a question or two from my personal statement. And of course he asked me "Do you have any questions for me?" Again it really was not stressful. Conversational and laid back!"

"With your limited shadowing experience do you think you are making the right decision?" Report Response | I was asked this question too

"The clinics were VERY busy (busiest of all the schools, or at least thats what They claimed). David Martin was a real nice guy and kept the stress level low. Students talked very highly (obviously) of the school. Also they provided 2 free nights at the double tree, about 1 or 1.5 mile walk from TUSPM." Report Response
"The city itself. I talked to a couple 4th year students and they recommended that I should plan to be off the streets by 9ish. Its also expensive to attend TUSPM. Cost of living is moderately high when compared to some of the other schools." Report Response
"You need to catch the lady liberty shuttle to the hotel AND you must call the shuttle to pick you up. Maybe I am naive in this, but most hotels I have stayed at in the past provided their own shuttle free of charge that came by the airport roughly every 30-60 minutes. So don't stand around waiting for a shuttle without calling, it wont come. There is a free of charge phone near the baggage claim in the airport. P.S. the shuttle is $10 plus a tip" Report Response
"Temple is not new and shiny. The building is made up of the "old style brick" that resemble cinder blocks painted white. This did not affect my decision at all, but if you can not study without a high dollar building... its not for you. Also, dont be nervous. Its really not that bad. Very conversational and laid back. Look at your application/research/grades/EC's and you can likely guess the questions that they will ask you!" Report Response
