Really! Congrats ModaMan! 3 years is a long time to hang tough and stick it out!

Wonder who you are, since we're in the same group?

Ok, this makes me a bit worried since I didn' get a decision yet although I interviewed the same day.
 
Well since Adcom meets every Friday, maybe those of us that still have no decision will get one soon.
 
anyone interviewed on the 29th and got an acceptance? i was expecting one today.
 
i expect some sort of notification lol. an acceptance would be nice. it's my second time interviewing at temple.

oh 🙂 Hopefully we will hear soon, they might be a little behind, but perhaps after their adcom meeting tomorrow.
 
okay so what should I make of this? my status page on TMO says I was accepted into the Class of 2012 and the acceptance letter on the status page says Welcome to the Class of 2014...does anybody else with an "acceptance" message have this problem? do you guys think its an acceptance or is it a mistake?!?!

I'm sure it is correct. When did you interview?
 
last week but they said that we may hear back as soon as October 15th if the interviewers got their recommendations to the AdCom in time...
 
it's an acceptance; I know from at least one person in my class that had same thing show up for them (or something very similar)

Has anyone still under review tried sending a letter of interest or update letter?
Click to expand...

Yes, I had another publication and got a second part-time job (teaching microbiology), so I uploaded a letter in the "send us stuff" part of the online app... this was last week.

Not that it has made a difference yet, complete since late July and still no interview!! We'll see...
 
Those who have been accepted, has anyone got the tuition/deposit link to work?

Not sure...did your letter on the status page have an Temple ID number? mine was blank...and did you have the Class of 2012/2013 messages too?
 
Yea mine were blank as well and yes I had the 2012/2013, guessing the page needs updated 😀

haha okay i thought that it was a big practical joke...i am going to call them tomorrow to make sure anyway
 
those of you who got an acceptance to Temple...you can now pay your $100 deposit on TMO.
 
Have any interview invites gone out recently?
 
yep i just got my interview invite on tuesday after being on hold for about eternity
 
Omzy said:
Yes, I posted on the previous page I was complete 10/9, invited 10/15. There is still hope out there :luck:

How did you get an invite so quick with those stats? I'd really like to know how the process works.
 
Woo HOOOOO! Temple acceptance! I am so thrilled- senior year just got a whole lot nicer 😀 Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear

Congratulations!

When'd you interview? Did your status change today, Fri, 10/16? Does it say "Your Status: Accepted"?

Well, honestly I can't say for sure, but I think it has something to do with my secondary responses.
 
For those of us still waiting, it might be that our interviewer hasn't made it to the committee meeting yet, so they haven't been able to render a decision. This was discussed in last year's thread. I interviewed 9/29 still with "Interview Complete."
 
bleedinblue said:
has anybody with acceptances gotten a phone call or email?
Click to expand...

nope, but i just put down my deposit 😀

someone else had called and said they had mailed out letters on 10/15, so i guess we'll get them in the next few days..congrats!
 
Interviewed 9/15- Waitlisted

This sucks. But I am keeping my hope up. Temple is a school with big waitlist movements every year right?

i'm waitlisted too. i do think they have a lot of waitlist movement though so hopefully we'll get in eventually. didn't you love how the letter started with "we are pleased to inform you that..."?? that sounds like an acceptance to me!
 
How long are am I to expect that I get an interview/rejection-before-interview after I submit my secondary? I love the new medical building, btw =D.

I was complete late August and STILL haven't heard anything. Just "Under review."

I see... ==" Better submit it ASAP then. Any idea how many vacancies are left?

Same. I'm that way with a couple of schools and getting ready to hit the 3 mo mark. I think I may spend next week writing update letters and contacting the office to see what's up.
 
I was "under review" for more than two months before my invite, and it was via status page, no email lol, so don't lose hope yet, and check your status page once in a while. GL
 
hey guys,

just wanted to make sure, the "continuation list" or whatever is temple's version of the waitlist, correct?

if so, can't believe we have to hear until may until the earliest!
 
I'm wondering if I should start losing hope? I've been under review since 8/15 like I'm sure a lot of people have and it freaks me out when I see people like Omzy interviewing already (No disrespect to you, mad congratulations!).

I would love to stay in a city like philly since I've been in boston for the past 4 years, but should I expect an interview? PS11, VR9, BI10 with cGPA 3.63 and sGPA 3.59. Issues first semester brought the GPA down but I believe I have a good upward trend (FR: 3.36, SO: 3.59, JR: 3.83 (including an exta semester in the summer at my undergrad institute)). Good EC and research.

i think if there's any take-home msg from this whole process, it is to not expect anything in particular. best you could do is compare your stats to the matriculating class stats. and if you feel competitive, then that's all you can ask of yourself.

correct. the letter does say there could be limited waitlist movement before may, but yes, it does seem like we'll be waiting a looong time to get an acceptance🙁
 
got my interview invite on the 15th! so excited... i was complete in the second week of october.

kind of scared, though... i'm from texas so philly will be a huge change of climate hahaha, i definitely need to go shopping!
 
For accepted people....are we going to get an email/mailing for further instructions on sending a deposit? They cant expect people to just know to check the status page necessarily. I'm waiting to hear back from a few other schools before sending it in.

Congratulations! You must be competitive to get an invite in 1 week!

Philly is only very cold at night, like Texas? So bring at least 1 thick jacket. It feels humid and is a bit rainy when I was there, so bring an umbrella just in case.


To Question123, Temple doesn't send a completion email. On your application portal, if they've indicated that they've received all your materials, and the status shows "under review," then you're complete. Good luck!

Thank you!! And thanks for the tip! But to be honest, what we consider "cold" is in the 50's. We're wimps when it comes to that. Highs right now are in the 70's and lows are in the 50's... so I'll probably be freezing my butt off in Philly 🙂 The thickest jacket I have right now is a pea coat, haha!

Latuza- sorry I haven't been online in a few days (celebrating haha), but my status changed late Thursday evening (10/15) to accepted. I interviewed on 09/17. I wouldn't worry if you haven't heard back yet though- I remember the admissions office says it depends on what time your interviewer sent in his/her review. Good luck :xf:
 
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

I got an interview invite. I completed the application in early August, but my MCAT score didn't come out till early September.

I am excited. Anyone going to be interviewing on the 29th of Oct?
 
I just got an invite too... but how did you get Oct 29th?

Nothing was open for me until the first week of December.
