I could not have asked for a better interview experience. This interview made me really want to go to Temple.

Preparation notes · Within the past 2 years

I wish I would have known how low-stress this interview session was. I was way more nervous than I needed to be. Also, there was only one question that required some extra thought, but everything else was pretty standard.

Reported experiences · Within the past 2 years

It was a bit of a long day, even virtually.

Reported experiences · Within the past 2 years

The information session was quick and efficient. Interviewers did an incredible job at putting me at ease. My community interviewer was absolutely stellar, she devised her own questions for us and chose topics that mattered most to her as a member of the community.

That the community member interview was going to be the hardest interview. However I completely understand why. They want to know that you know what you're signing up for and that you're genuinely committed.
