So I'm interviewing at another Philly school how do you think Temple feels about "in the area" e-mails?
II yesterday as well ... 32 OOS 3.8 complete Aug. 8th
Was your status ever on anything else after 'under review'
No, mine went straight from "Under Review" to "Invited for Interview"
Did you also get an email?
In other words, should I keep refreshing my status page every 20 minutes, or will it be sufficient to just keep refreshing my inbox?
Haha you will get an email from "medinterview." No need to refresh your status page
Did anyone one get an invite to some sort of diversity conference? Is this an indication I am about to get an II? Kind of a strange email if not. thanks.
I received it also. I hope you're right
There is never true despair without hope...
haha jk. hopefully this is an indication of an interview invitation to come in the near future.
also got this, saw the e-mail from temple and got excited. I doubt it's really indicative of anything though. It just seems kind of dumb to send this e-mail, potentially have people go to to the conference and then reject them anyways. Who knows.
just had my interview yesterday. it was real laid back, the students here seem pretty cool too.
also, the north philly locals are hilarious. i walked with some guy after the interview who told me jokes for like 5 minutes.

And extremely helpful!

Good to hear! I'm assuming the interview was open file since the faculty is a member of the admissions committee. Is that correct?
Unfortunately, this is not really the norm. Do be cautious.

I got an II, but need to try and coordinate it with another couple of interviews in October. So far the dates available on the scheduling calendar are through 10/11 - anyone know if more dates will be eventually released if I just wait a bit? Or do I need to contact them directly?
II today. but when I login to their website and go to their schedule interview tab, I dont see any available days. Anyone else having this problem?
Oos, 3.7, 33
North Philadelphia actually doesn't have much in the way of hotels, sketchiness of the neighborhood not withstanding. Most applicants I know stayed at hotels in Center City near the Convention Center. I don't recall the Temple website listing any hotel recommendations, but pretty much anything close to Broad Street or Market Street will position you nicely to use public transit or catch a cab to campus. Your budget will dictate where you would want to stay; Center City has everything from dirt cheap hostels to extremely nice resort hotels. PM me if you would like some help selecting a place.I have heard that Temple isn't in the best neighborhood. For those that have interviewed, where did you stay and how was it? Temple sent their list of recommended places, but I was hoping for some recent insight from one of you SDNers.
EDIT: Actually, I can't find their recommendations anymore. I am pretty sure they were in the interview tab, but now that tab is gone... Did anyone save the links in there?

do you guys suggest sending in updates if we were complete mid august and have heard nothing yet? or are updates usually for post-interview?
II today
Congrats! When were you complete?
Erm...looking back at my secondary...I think I might have monumentally effed myself.
I answered the "how can you contribute to...?" essay with my diversity essay. Just straight up. But reading the question again....this was a question you should have answered specifically for them right? Figure out what they want and then put that there?
But ERM, Temple why you make no sense? Because the second interpretation is just the "Why Temple" essay, isn't it?
