Probably a waitlist.
Hey guys,
Im consider applying here for the 2013-2014 cycle. I know its a new school, but can anyone offer up honestly what the area is like. ive heard is a bit dull and impoverishment. NOT to put down the city or the school. Ive just heard by others its not the best area to live. Im from the west coast, if anyone can provide insight about what the community, campus environment is like it would be much appreciated! thanks!
The school isn't new, but the building is. It was finished in 2009.
You've heard right. Temple is in a low-SEC, high crime part of town, North Philadelphia. Most students don't live by campus (though there are some renovated rowhomes around the corner from the building that are rented out to HSC students) and generally stick to center city or Manayunk. The area does make for some very interesting hospital experiences, though. Lots of trauma, lots of people that wait too long to come to the hospital until they are very, very sick, lots of comorbidities, etc.
The fresh prince of bel air was born and raised in west Philly and his mom sent him away...north Philly is an interesting experience to visit. I've been all over so it didn't seem that bad to me but from the west coast it might seem like a bit of a culture shock. My interviewer told me it is advisable to have a car and not travel anywhere alone. My mentor and family practice physician told me verbatim you're going to get raped. I think it is about being smart. Plus you're most likely living elsewhere in a cool city.
In terms of experience and environment (especially if you aspire to work w the under served) it is a priceless place to attend med school.
+1are they still handing out ii's at this point?
Just got the email for second look day 😀
yup who all is going? I hope they explain a lot more about the financial aid and also how the curriculum is set up.

If you paid your deposit. Your status should change to deposit paid. Once you have paid that your seat in the incoming medical school class is safe. 3 weeks sounds way too long to receive your snail mail letter. I would call, it probably got lost in transit somehow.Hey,
Besides the deposit of $100 is there anything else we need to send Temple for our acceptance? I still haven't received my official snail mail for my acceptance..only an email :/ So i want to make sure I do not need to send them anything else.
Thanks
Just call them.

depress, I got in the same day as you and have not received anything either. I'm not sure what the deal is!
Hey, I'm staff here at Temple (have an interview next Tuesday, fingers crossed for waitlist placement), but in the process of tooling around the website I found the housing website..
Is everyone really waiting on snail mail? I actually just got an email when I was accepted...

Hey so I'm a little confused .. I interviewed on Feb. 12th at St. Luke's but I never really knew for sure whether I was interviewing just for the St. Luke's program or for all of the Temple programs. Anybody know? Also, (either way I guess) does anybody know if decisions take a little longer for people who interviewed at St. Luke's? I still haven't heard. Thanks in advance.
Does anyone know where we can find the 2013 match lists? I can't seem to locate it anywhere.
Well good to know that I am not the only one 😀... have you tried contacting them about it? I am debating whether I should bother them by calling? Or just wait it out till 2nd Look day...
btw..is there any way to find out which clincal campus you have been accepted to for 3rd and 4th year besides the snail mail? That is mainly why I want my official letter in the mail... :/
Maybe some current students could chime in:
So I'm starting to look into housing and will be touring apartment buildings over the weekend of second look (primarily looking in center city along the broad street line because I won't have a car), are there any buildings in center city that are particularly popular with Temple med students?
Thanks!
