I'm hoping for this week for you, Rob! I only got the status update on Friday (never got an e-mail besides the confirmation of my interview scheduling).

Thanks Geek - they called you for an interview before the status update? and then you got the confirmation?

I think we decided Tuesday was the key day of the week, so i'll wait till the end of next then call

No phone call, I don't think. Unless they called my house line which we just finally cancelled, but I updated that like two weeks ago. It was just a status update, and I went and scheduled the interview later that day.
 
So the whole tuesday thing was proven wrong then. Oh well, i'll keep patiently waiting...

Thanks for the info geek
 
No problem, man. It seems that Tuesday was the day during the summer, but then they started coming out with interview invites on other days.
 
Anyone receive an interview here with an mcat less than 30? I heard they have a pretty strict cutoff (30) and I'm trying to decide to apply or not.

I interviewed at Temple not too long ago and I have a sub-30 MCAT. I really loved the school and the students all seemed really happy there and committed to serving their community. All-in-all I was very impressed. Applying in October is a whole different ball game though, but best of luck!

Anyone excited for october 15th?

When I interviewed (last week of September) they told us we should hear back from them on the 15th but from looking at least year's thread it seems that we won't hear back on the 15th.

I am sure this year we will 🙂
 
Has anyone else been under review for a while? I submitted everything on August 26th and not a word since. I'm thinking about calling just to make sure things didn't get lost, unless a lot of other people are having the same experience.
 
I submitted around 7/21 and didn't hear anything until this past Friday, and I'm in-state. So... yeah, I wouldn't worry, and you might have a while longer to wait.
 
All the interview dates are full. Can't schedule an interview. Should I call them about this or will more dates become available soon?

All I see is an empty calendar for october, november, december, and january.

At the risk of sounding dumb, anyone know how exactly do I go about actually scheduling the interview?

Well I just scheduled mine a couple days ago. There were only 2 dates available in December so the rest of it was an empty calendar like you said. If dates are available, there are different time slots listed under a given day and you click on the time slot you want. So since there's nothing left I'd call them, but they should probably be adding some dates in January soon.
 
Hey for those that interviewed already, did your status change back to "under review"?
 
wanderer100 said:
Yea. OOS, interviewed last week of September, status changed last ~1-3 days.

I interviewed before you, it just changed right now within a couple of hours. (I know this because I was rereading my supplemental application earlier today).

On last year's thread, someone had the same problem. Her status never changed from "under review" to "correspondence mailed" and received a rejection letter in the mail. I don't think this means good fortune for us.

Why, did acceptees go straight from "interview complete" to "accepted"?
 
wanderer100 said:
****. I'm wondering if this happened to more than 1 person last year, but you're right this doesn't sound like good news for us. Hopefully we will both get into better schools.

From the thread, it only happened to one person. So, I guess we can't base on one account.

Let's hope the change of status happened to everyone who interviewed this year.

P.S. How good are your stats?

They're very good (MCAT>35,GPA>3.8). My ECs are alright. I'm also a reapp fwiw.

And yes status checks are in general notoriously bad. But Temple's has been around for a few years and should be more reliable. Hopefully someone else can help us out here to see if their status has also changed.
 
BTW my interviews felt okay. Definitely weren't terrible.
 
I have been under review here since 9/1, and haven't heard a peep. Sounds like all the fall interview slots are filled up - has anybody received invites lately? Looks like its going to be a long waiting game with this school...

Like GlassHalfMD, I was complete around 7/21, but I got an interview invite via status update last Friday.

My status has not changed and I interviewed in Sept. FWIW, my interviews went really well.
 
Interview invite!

No email, just a change in status on the website sometime in the last few hours.

Earliest interviews available as of now are 1st week of January.
 
Lol i think they don't like me either.. I've been complete since 7/15. No love. And IS.

Mine did. I interviewed mid-September and it changed to interview complete for a little while. Now it's back to under review. Stats similar to the other responders.
 
been in the under review club for about 2 weeks now.

Seems so, but i don't want to post on Oct 15th, saying I got rejected (that would make me look really stupid on this forum)

Whatever, as long as you don't brag about a school on and on and then start bashing them if and when you get rejected it doesn't matter. I wouldn't care if I got N-1 rejections as long as I got that one acceptance.

Haha, just made a dinner reservation at a fancy restaurant for Oct 15th ... Whatever happens, I know I will be having great food.

P.S. I do agree with the statement whatever school that accepts you is no doubt the best school in the world.
 
i don't know if i would be concerned if your status says under review after interviewing, as long as it doesn't say :correspondence sent" you're still in it IMO.
 
interview invite as well! no idea when, since I stopped checking status updates a couple weeks ago. apparently I need to stick to being neurotic and checking...darn reinforcement.

picked an early january date....definitely none left for this year unless someone cancels after the 10/15 acceptances.

For those of you who got invites this week - when were you complete?

Back at "Interview Complete." I think it happened some time today.
