Do they only send acceptance emails on Friday?

No not necessarily. I think the admission committee mostly meets Friday, but people have gotten acceptance emails on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. So, I guess it just depends on how often the committee meets.

Good Luck!!

Thanks for the info

I'm on my fourth week post interview and I hope it comes within the next week or so
They said 4-6 weeks so fingers crossed.
The wait is terrible especially this late in the cycle
 
Got an II a few days ago. Interviewing next month. Submitted my application toward the end of the cycle.
 
II today, also submitted toward the end of the cycle (very late, tsk tsk).
 
BUMP please. I got accepted with Crozer-Chester as well

Hi everyone,
Just a couple questions regarding Crozer-Chester campus for the 3/4 year.
How exactly does this work? If accepted into this program can one elect to come to Temple their 4th year and do certain electives in Philly or are the 3/4 years solely out in Upland, PA. The acceptance letter mentions something about being allowed back at Temple for 4th year.

Working in the city and being exposed to that patient base was a principal appealing factor of Temple Med to me. Any input on what the Crozer-Chester campus is like or thought off by residency programs? What percentage of the class goes off to secondary campuses vs remaining on Temple main? Finally what are the chances/does it even happen that people who are put into a secondary campus but selected Temple main as their primary are later allowed to remain at Temple or sorted back into their primary choice? The letter mentions this too but I am not sure how common that may be.

Also would like to know this as well. Also do most people in Crozer-Chester still opt to live in Philly? Is there a chance you could work out a rotation at TUH for a field that you are interested in.

Edit: Thank you!!

Yeah I thought it went awfully I was so nervous and stumbling over words haha.

The person who interviewed me wrote a personal note on my acceptance letter, is it appropriate to respond to that or do I just wait till I see them in August? It didn't ask anything but I still felt the love sooo irdk what to do in this situation?
 
I really think my case is unusual. Most of the people I talked to had it take a month or more. Also, friends of mine who go there now had it take 2-4 months to hear back so don't give up hope! Good luck!

My status is still under review. Is rejection on the way????
 
I interviewed today! There were only 10 of us and 8 were girls! Lol
I am actually really excited about Temple; I liked it there a lot.

However, my first interview seemed to be a little rocky. The guy seemed like he didn't like any of my answers and somewhat made fun of one of my activities. I held my own, but I am hoping he was doing that on purpose and isn't really as "mean" as he seemed in the interview! Not to mention it was an hour long interview. My student interview was like 15-20 minutes though and was much "better", so it made me feel like the student interview doesn't even count. Idk I hate having to wait a month, but I'm praying for the best!
 
Haha, when I interviewed there was only one girl, the rest male.

Haha wow! That's interesting. Clearly it's not a huge deal. 🙂 They matriculate 50/50 apparently so I didn't take it to mean anything except they it was funny being outnumbered 8:2. Lol

But apparently one guy missed his interview today. I was hoping he is okay and missed it on purpose. But there's no telling I guess :-/
I'm sure if he missed on purpose it'll go to somebody else next month! Who knows?!
 
I wonder how much the student interview counts. My guy didn't seem like he really cared, in the sense that he was only trying to see if I was crazy.

Yeah I agree. They did say, "your faculty interviewer will be your advocate when the committee reviews your application." I am pretty sure the student interviewer just writes a brief review about you and maybe gives a score of some kind. However, the faculty member definitely seems to have more weight.

I am on the other end of the extreme. I interviewed 10/10 didn't get accepted until 2/07. Don't let the post interview wait get to you. It really doesn't mean anything. Good Luck!
 
Is it just me or is the website where you check your status down?
 
Any recent post interview decisions? stuck in limbo here but hoping for the best....
 
Anyone know if Temple might be receptive to an in-the-area e-mail this late in the game?
 
Anyone know when we will receive financial aid information.
 
From the "financing your medical education" section of the admissions page:

"Accepted students are notified of institutional scholarships beginning in March via an email from the Admissions Office. These scholarships are offered from March through the start of Orientation."
