The search function isn't working well for me at the moment, so I guess I'll just ask here: where can I find information on student hosting at Temple? I'm interviewing there in about 3 weeks.

There's a link on the homepage of the status portal. An excel sheet pops up that has info on the available students. Spaces are prob limited tho. Good luck!
 
Just got the acceptance email YAYYYY! I loved Temple and now its returning the love 😍😍.

Wow, really? They told us the last week of October that they weren't meeting this week.

Well, anyway, HUGE CONGRATS!

Hopefully they didn't and they just held the decision. Because I haven't seen anything new and I don't want to get the correspondence mailed status change early next week. I interviewed 10/14! I hate waiting. Oh well.

And yes, congrats!
 
Thanks guys! I int. on the 20th and they told me I would be reviewed on the 29th so I guess they are still just going through all the decisions and sending out acceptance a few at a time. Anyways good luck! I'm sure you guys will get good news as well 🙂
 
Accepted today as well, St. Lukes program! Never thought I would have a choice as to where to go to medical school. This is going to be a difficult decision, but one that I am grateful to be blessed with.

Were you applying to St. Luke's by any chance? I look for patterns in this craziness as a way to occupy my time...haha
 
Got the acceptance today! I interviewed 10/05, so don't worry if you have to wait a little! I assume it is the 4 year program in Philadelphia since it didn't say anything otherwise and that was my number one ranked choice.
 
Hi,

Congrats to those accepted and goodluck to those still waiting!I had question in regards to submiting the deposit. Do you guys know if it is refundable? When is the due date? Also, will we be recieving a acceptance package in the mail?

Thanks in advance for all the help!

Yes it is refundable if you notify them of withdrawal before May (15th I think). You should pay it ASAP but IIRC they request you to pay a deposit within 2 weeks.

I have not gotten any package yet, just a letter informing me officially of my acceptance 🙂
 
my file has been under-review since the end of sept..i've also sent in an update email two weeks ago but still no word..wondering if i should be taking this as a silent rejection...🙁

I interviewed at St. Luke's on Oct 19 and got the acceptance email on Friday.

Who all from that interview group got in? I am really curious!

I interviewed at St. Luke's on the 12th and got in (11-14 emil sent)😍

They sent their letters fast, but I was kind of hoping for a package and yet it was a letter, a little disappointing but since it is an acceptance I am ecstatic nonetheless

So if Temple is your final choice I guess I will see you in August then:luck:

Does anyone remember if all scholarships are offered after they receive your FAFSA, or if the merit scholarships are offered earlier?

I want to send my adcom interviewer an email to thank him again for his time and to reiterate my interest in the school (a few days before my file hopefully goes to committee) and I'd like to ask him a question as well, but I want to make sure it isn't something they covered at interview day and I just plain forgot about.

Hmm good question. I don't remember from interview day, but I'm thinking it's all post-FAFSA?

I was just glancing last night at the financial aid packet they gave us and I didn't see anything about merit scholarships offered with acceptances pre-FAFSA.

Wow, that was fast! You will love it!

Congrats to any new acceptances I haven't said that to yet. Please do this for me for Friday! :xf::xf:

They told us they would be awarded sometime in the spring. I think they said March, but I'm not certain of the timing. I know it isn't anytime soon.

I'm sure you'll get in. I can feel your enthusiasm for this school over the internet so I'm sure your interviewer knows too 🙂. Heres to hoping for a DELERIOUSLY EXCITING Thanksgiving for you!

Not sure about the other students, but I didn't get a scholarship until one week before school started. So it can definitely vary.... but I'd expect it after they get your FAFSA for the earliest.

fingers crossed today for the adcom :xf:

Lets all hold hands and hope.

Amen, brother.

So I'm guessing since the adcom supposedly hasn't met for a few weeks (at least at main campus) that they'll be in there for awhile today. Dear God, please let me be accepted to this school.
 
Ha since it seems that you are anxiously awaiting any word today I'll just let you know that I am chilling here with bated breath too. Refreshing every so often. I was interviewed Nov 4th. Think I'll make it to committee today? It seems like I should since the 29th was their last meeting.
 
I hope we both go to committee today. I'm sure my adcom interviewer is perpetually busy (ER doc at Temple 😵), though, which makes me nervous.
 
Do you think they have a person there changing online statuses as decisions are made, or they are all sent down to the office at the end of the meeting?
