The next day
For some reason I can't login to the Temple Secondary site. I want to submit the application. Anyone know why that is and how long it will last for. thanks
it happens from time to time. maybe site maintenance?
thanks.
I still can't log-in to the secondary site, it's been like 10 hours. Maybe there is something wrong with my log-in. Anyone else having trouble logging in?
mine's not working either
Any idea what the problem could be or ho long it might last? I don't know if its site maintenance because it's been so long since my log-in last worked. I have been trying to call the admissions office but no one is picking up.

I just got mine today too. The confirmation e-mail that they sent me after doesn't show the time or date though. Anyone else get that error?
Something around 1 in 3 I believe, not considering any IS/OOS factor.
Did you just get the invite today? or did your status change on the website and you just got the email today?
I got the e-mail invite today then I logged in and saw that my status changed.
do you mind if I ask when you were complete?
I'm not sure when they viewed the application as complete, but the secondary was turned in on July 14.
So, for those of you filling out the Temple secondary, how are you choosing which clinical campus youre interested in? I've gone to the websites for each one, but since I have no preferance for a specialty right now it's nearly impossible to come up with a decent reason for why I am interested in a specific location... any thoughts? Anyone from the philly area have any advice on the hospitals?
Do more people go to a satellite campus or stay in Philly?

i did mine based on personal exp. i went to Pitt and really like pittsburgh so i made that my #1., philly was #2 because the facility is exceptional...i cant remember how i ranked the other two, because they are actually small hospitals i figured they wouldnt be as conducive to my broad medical education....just hopin to get pitt or philly

If youre not from Philly or Pitts, what interests you to this school? Why go here? What ties do you have, if any?
No ties for me. Temple is just another medical school I applied to.
Thanks, you are totally right. I found it too. But, I do have a question. I have been looking at the websites for the four different clinic sites, and frankly, I have no idea which one should be my top choice, let alone why I am choosing it. Any thoughts on how to distinguish between them or maybe how to sort through them?
Just put what really interests YOU about this school.
I've noticed that you've asked people what they put for secondary essay prompts/questions in several school threads....
Just research the school, and you'll see what it has to offer. I would just try to write how I feel so that you'll sound sincere during interviews.

Interview Invite! Wed 9-2-09; first one!
I feel so grateful and lucky! Such quick turnaround, I was surprised that I'll be interviewed this early! Now it's to practice, practice, and practice!
Complete 8-4-09
My stats are a bit below average (30, 3.6 overall), and I'm OOS and not disadvantaged or minority
They might have liked something about my extracurriculars or statement, don't know.
I hope this gives hopes to you who are below average! Best of luck

I haven't gotten the email yet. Does anyone know if there are student hosts available here?
There are student hosts...they just sent out emails to ask if anyone is interested in doing it. Next week, I think the 9th, they will have it posted on tmo.
does anyone know the earliest interview dates at temple that are still available? thanks!

There are spots open on September 15th. That is the earliest I think.
so their website seems to be down 🙁
maybe they're sending out more interview invites 🙂

Hopefully that's the case! I haven't been able to log in today either.

they are killing me with their website being down.. maybe after labor day weekend?
So yeah, I feel the same BLAHHH with the site being down.... and I'm working on this essay currently.
One question: Are we supposed to rank the 4 clinical sites, or pick one? Confused, thanks!

they want us to rank them, and then include a brief blurb about our top choice in our "why temple" essay.
Oh okay... thanks
Wish I knew what was going on, come on secondary site, be back up tmrw!
..same. bah.
Still no updated student host list eh? Looks like I should book a hotel huh, seeing as my interview is next week.
