Continuing Candidates list today, after 3 long months of waiting for a response, OOS anyone know if theres much movement on the waitlist?
Was anyone able to find Temple's match list this year?
I dont know if they posted it anywhere on TUSM's site but they sent it to us. Whatcha want to know?
Its on the website but the link doesn't work. I was just curious to see the most popular specialties, how many people stay at Temple and PA in general.
thanks a lot
anyone know when we will get our financial aid packages???![]()
Someone in the FB group called the financial aid office and asked, and apparently financial aid information doesn't go out until June.
I'll be withdrawing my acceptance (main program). Good luck to everyone!
A friend of mine recently sent out her FAFSA form; however, the Temple site states that there is a March 1st deadline for financial aid. And it states that after this date, you may not be able to recieve all of the financial aid that they offer. Are there any significant repercussions for not getting in the FAFSA in before this date?
Agreed all around. 👍The way financial aid worked for us last year is that you will find out shortly after submit your FAFSA form/get accepted if you get scholarships or not. I think this is generally true but I'm sure there are exceptions, so if you are deciding between schools, you shouldn't be waiting on Temple to send you scholarships if you don't already have them. While the financial aid package doesn't go out until June-ish, it is the same for everybody as far as I know. Everyone will get the same amount of Stafford Subsidized & Unsubsidized & you can apply for Grad Plus on top of that up to the Cost of Attendance. You will not have to worry about not having the money to pay tuition, rent, etc as everyone will get what they need, unless you can afford to pay out of pocket.
My point is that Temple's financial aid package should not be the determining factor or thing that is stalling you from choosing between schools. Money that you will be offered outside of loans has probably already been offered & the money you get on top of that with the financial aid package is just loans, which is the same amount of subsidized & unsubsidized for everyone.

I have 40+ MCAT and 3.95 GPA... no merit scholarship money to date. Not trying to be a douche, but damn.... if I don't get any, who is?
How do you define "need". We are all med students coming in with next to nothing. Oh, my parents have some money? I'm 22, they are done paying for me. Oh, because my parents have some money, I get to borow it all, but little Jimmy, who's parents don't make as much, gets free money so he'll owe less when he graduates. HOW THE HELL does that make any sense? We are both Temple doctors and have the same ability to pay of loans. Why does Jimmy get to graduate with fewer loans? It's all just a system designed to screw anybody whose PARENTS have some money. They just expect your parents to pay for the medical school now. What a crock. Devoid of any cogent thought. If I can afford to pay off $200,000 in loans, so can JIMMY, no matter HOW MUCH MONEY his parents have.

I know its frustrating to be in the middle. As I am there with you. But someone pointed out to me that those who receive aid usually are not only independent of parental support but are also supporting their parents. When you think about it that way, it seems much more fair.
this is some bullsh*t!!!!!!👎thumbdown👎thumbdown👎thumbdown👎thumbdown👎

where are you guys seeing the financial aid?
i found the links on the deposit tab, made a TUportal login, but my award and all of that is no where to be found, not even the general stafford loans and such.
hope i didn't do anything wrong haha
also, cost of attendance 29,000? give me a break...
finally, do you guys still have required submissions like your enrollment verification, and have you sent in your tax transcripts?
No idea what's going on on TUportal either. At first I was like 29k? Sweet! Then I realized nothing makes sense on the site. I think it thinks we're currently enrolled as grad (not med) students? I mean, we can't possibly fill out the grad student enrollment verification sheet, which supposedly is an unmet requirement. In any case, I didn't find anything useful about fin aid awards on there.
The financial aid people were beyond helpful to me when I called a couple weeks ago. She helped me set up my login and told me that she wasn't sure what they'd actually have in there for us at this point. It sounds like they still have to go through and change what we're able to access.
She told me we would be filling out that grad enrollment sheet eventually and told me I should do the entrance counseling on studentloans.gov now
accepted off the waitlist? would you mind sharing your stats? 🙂
Can anyone find the list of where first years live on TempleMedOnline?
Does "Continuing Candidates" = "Waitlist"? Also, might anyone be able to provide some insight on how much movement this list usually has?
