Nobody who has an interview invite has an mdapps profile 🙁

I don't have mdapps because neither do I think I am that great nor do I care to have one. But if you want encouragement, I am 3.74gpa/3.74sgpa, 32Q, and mediocre extracurricular.

Should we schedule interviews even if we haven't gotten an official email?

Scheduled mine for late September. Maybe I'll see some of you there.
 
Has anyone looked into student hosts here? The list online is for 2008-2009, any ideas when it may be updated?
 
Ah great, I guess I'll be adding "checking Temple's site" to my list of nervous habits developed this application cycle
 
Is anyone unable to log on to the status website? My name and pw worked today in the morning, but all of a sudden it's not working. I hope this is not their way of rejecting people....by just ending their access :scared:

I couldn't access it either, and I tried logging in like five minutes ago.

Seriously! I have a bookmarks folder on Firefox for "Med School Status Check Pages" and it rivals my real bookmarks in size. I enjoy that each page has a different username/password sort of setup. </sarcasm>

Tricky bastards...I can't log in either.
 
i cant log in either, maybe they are updating their system cuz they're gonna send a bunch of invites soon :xf:
 
They don't email you??? GRRR...

I'll probably forget to check the status page!!
 
Finally some Temple love damnit. 8th invite I have compulsively checked the status page for two straight day. Why the hell didn't they send an email or something. Damn!

Complete: 07/22
 
was anyone able to log back in yet? i still am not able...well...i doubt there's been any change, but still...

some people have excellent apps dont feel bad. The fact that someone logged in today, i think those of us who cant log in are rejected...ah well.
 
I dont think its a rejection if you can't get on for the simple fact that I checked twice today. Then lke 2 hours ago, way past business hours, I couldn't get on. Unless thats how they roll. That would be kinda dick.
 
I don't think it's a rejection. I got the invite around 6:00 PM EST and I just tried to log back in and it didn't work.
 
dont worry people same thing happened two days ago and couple hours later i logged in and was still "under review" i think my application is tired of being reviewed and wants a nice interview status soon :xf:
 
hey everyone. was just able to log in like half an hour ago and interview invite!!!

So excited! Finally, some instate love 😀

I must tell you though, that you should be patient. I had been complete ages ago and saw that people who were complete after me were getting invites and I was getting discouraged, but then I got the invite after all 😀

So don't lose hope yet!

brace yourself sir (or ma'am)! don't be so down--you'll get interviews from good places. don't lose hope so early. 🙂
 
so i logged in and it worked and it still says under review. So i guess its not a rejection. Though looking back at my why temple essay it sucks lol...i should have spent more time on it.
 
phew, can log on today but...still under review

Don't forget that SDN/MDapps are EXTREMELY skewed. if everyone supposedly has a 3.8/35+ gpa/mcat then how are the MSAR averages so (relatively) low? I'm a somewhat above avg applicant (but nothing special on SDN) and I have a few invites b/c I submitted reaaaally early.

FWIW, I'm getting nervous too, despite having a couple. But remember, the interview season is till March :xf:

GL and don't be disheartened! :luck:

ahha serious dude...i mean its so obvious, all adcoms know we just want one acceptance and dont care...so why make us answer this question. I guess it helps weed out people who dont want to take 30 mins to look at the site and choose some random program or aspect of the cirriculum to bs about? :laugh:

Also, even if everyone is telling the truth on sdn and has a 3 .9+ 35+ MCAT...that is what a few hundred applicants? maybe 800 at maximum (whcih is probably too high)? About 17000 people or so are accepted each year so SDN is really just representing the top 10% or so...you dont have to be in the top 10% to get accepted unless your only goal is john hopkins and columbia or cornell.
 
AHH this process is gonna make me a friggin alcoholic😀

complete since 7/27 and if i see another UNDER REVIEW status at temple ima kill another bottle of goose

I can't even afford a bottle of goose.🙁
 
Hey guys, stay positive if you havent received an interview yet. Whenever I scheduled my date here, only september was even open for interviews and there were still well over half of those times left.

Elijah, if you dont mind me asking, how did eastern virginia and case let you know about your rejection? thanks.

Lol, I've been complete since like 7/10, and all 20 of my schools have been silent for a month now...
 
I am a little behind still working on my secondaries. I am having trouble selecting the clinical sites. I want to go into oncology so Temple University Hospital is the best bet right, because they have their own cancer center? To me its seems like the others aren't that big on cancer. I just want to be a 100% sure this is true I don't want to write TUH as my first choice only to find out some other place is bigger on cancer. If someone knows can you please tell me if I am right
 
I found the same to be true about TUH in regards of their cancer research/center. I mentioned the Cancer Center as a reason for making it my top choice.

lol neither can I. But i figured if im spending $2000+ on med school apps, i can slip in another couple hundred bucks and fill out the Goose Secondary... multiple times 👍
 
Finally submitted the secondary today...Its been like a month since I got the link, I just didn't have the money. I hope its not too late...🙄

no way ur late my bro...i've heard a "golden rule" that being complete in the summer is relatively early, fall is when things start getting a bit late

dont worry keep them fingers crossed for a interview:xf:
 
how soon after your amcas was verified did you guys get the secondary?
