When did you interview??

Status just changed to "Correspondence mailed"...🙁

So sorry to hear. 🙁

I'm sure this is exactly what you didn't want to hear... especially before the holidays.

Hope your other schools work out for you!

 

[BerkMed]

status changed to accepted today. interviewed 12/8

 

[Question123]

WOAH, they made decisions for that late of a group already?!

 

[Zona Pellucida]

status changed to accepted today. interviewed 12/8

Wow! The Tuesday interviewers must be fast. I was in a Thursday group, still 'Interview Complete'.

CONGRATULATIONS 👍

 

[Question123]

Dangit, I was the Tuesday before you and got nothing yet... strange this is a status page school rather than email for acceptance.

 

[Omzy]

Interviewed Nov 25th... Pretty upset as I considered this school both my favorite and the one I had the best shot at. I suppose if I get wait listed I still stand a decent chance.

 

[NdNThunder]

I submitted my secondary to Temple first week of October. Still haven't received any reply back (no interview invite/wait-list/rejection).

Is someone experiencing the same delay (who submitted secondary at the same time)? 🙁 Have people who submitted after early October heard back?

Temple is one of my top choices, being a Philly resident. Waiting sucks...

I submitted even earlier, and I'm in the same boat. I don't know, I guess keep waiting. It does suck, I agree.

Hi Blue and NdNThunder, I'm in the very same boat too. Submitted everything by early October and haven't heard a peep. Here's to waiting--in the meantime, happy holidays to you all.

[determined1985]

Any pre-interview rejections here, yet?

 

[hypersonic101]

Hey, just got an interview invite for Temple. Very much stoked, as it is just my second interview (NYMC). What kind of questions were everyone asked during the interview? I know they will ask about my specific interest and what I believe I can contribute, but does anyone have any other insight that would help me prepare?

Use the Interview Feedback Forum at the top of the page.

Interview Feedback---> Allopathic Medical School ----> Temple Univ.

Congrats and Goodluck!

Congrats, Sonic! If you don't mind sharing, could you please possibly post when you (approximately) submitted everything to Temple? Also, are you IS/OOS? Sorry for the barrage of questions--But, really, congrats again and best wishes for your interview here and at NYMC and thanks in advance for your help!

Let me be the first to congratulate you, wish you luck and ask "when were you complete!??!1" 👍

Maybe we'll meet up in Philly. 🙂

Damn gunners... 😛

 

[hypersonic101]

I graduated last year, but I got my applications out a bit late. I sent it out in the beginning of September, I believe, but I would have to check my records for the exact date.

 

[BlueElmo]

Not yet. Still holding out, hopefully.

 

[alljazz]

Just checked the status of my application- I'm in! I haven't received a formal e-mail or snail mail. When should I expect those? Interviewed: 12/16

 

[Question123]

Congrats! For those in, does Temple have a second look day?

Seasons Greetings from Temple!: 'Correspondence Mailed'

[bringindafunk]

correspondence mailed. The only positive of this is that I won't be here when I actually get the letter, I'll be in Lake Tahoe gambling😛 and snowboarding. Hopefully other schools are just saving their great news for after break.

Happy holidays all!

 

[thamsenman]

Accepted through status page yay! 😛....

 

[streetdoc10]

does anyone know if the admission committee is on break now, until after the holidays? I'm still waiting for a status change to interview from under review...hopefully...

They probably are on holiday break. Probably nothing until the new year, I bet.

 

[uva2010]

[pogi]

Hey, for those who are accepted into Temple, the deposit is nonbinding and refundable if we choose not to go to Temple, right?

I have been waiting for over 5 weeks now, so you're still in good shape

 

[allie1361]

For those of you who have interviewed here...what time does the interview day end? Would booking a 6pm flight out the day of the interview be pushing it?

 

[alljazz]

No don't think so... Depending on when your interview is... My last one was at 2 and so I was done at 2:30.

 

[Zona Pellucida]

Just got the 'continuing candidates' letter in the mail. Was extremely optimistic for a 'waitlist' letter ... complete with a 'congratulations'!

 

[Omzy]

Thats exactly what I did and I had the last interview slot of the day. Had plenty of time to catch a cab back to my hotel, change clothes, take the rail to the airport, and wait for my departure at 6pm. Got to the airport by about 4-430.

I don't know though... It took me FOREVER to get to the airport on my interview day. My last interview was at 3, but he was running behind so I ended interviewing from 3:30-4:30. I didn't get to the airport until about 7 (after waiting for the cab for 45 minutes). This was because traffic in the city was horrid. If the traffic is fine, you will be fine.

 

[Omzy]

Well, considering Zona's account, it might be risky then. Somehow that day seemed to go a little too smoothly.

On another note, my spirits have raised a bit after receiving the 'continuing candidates' letter in the mail today. According to this thread, the list has big movements, so I'll stay optimistic. 🙄

​

Yeah. Out of all the waitlists I have been placed on, I feel like I have the most shot at movement here, especially after reading last year's thread. Seemed like on the week after May 15th... tons of SDNers got accepted.

 

[Omzy]

Although...the new building might limit the movement a bit this year, if you know what I mean.
