Discover Your Odds of Getting into Medical School
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
rejected today pre ii also. i don't even remember when i submitted the secondary
 
I just finished my interview at St. Luke's. I was the only interviewee there. I believe they are done with interviews now. They mentioned that I was the last one. I was originally scheduled for February and couldn't go. They made another interview day to accomodate me!

Declined interview invite - hope one of you picks up the spot!
 
Interviewed here today, everything went great! My interviewer was really laid back and even said that the person he interviewed before me didn't do so well, which I found shocking!

No problems! I got an email invite for something called Revisit Temple at the same time I got the second look email. Its organized by the School and their SNMA and LMSA and starts at noon that Thursday. Now that I think about it this email might be something that URM's specifically would get given the SNMA and LMSA involvement.
 
any recent acceptances? I feel like this thread has been very quiet decision wise..
 
Probably a dumb question, but for any of you attending the second look day, is it casual dress?

Last year's thread said business casual so I'm guessing it's the same this year. Still gotta figure out what that means though lol
 
Just joined waitlist city here! I bombed one interview (didn't feel like I connected at all) and aced the other, so I'm not terribly surprised by the decision. I interviewed mid January and received the news via snail mail yesterday.

I am 3/3 schools waitlisted and am hoping for some love in the coming months :/
 
Has anyone sent updates post-interview? Do you know if it's better to send updates via the portal or emailing admissions? I called admissions today and they were very unclear...

I know when I went I wore jeans and a polo or something. Not really a big deal.

I was told by email
 
Have any other accepted students heard anything about Scholarhips yet? Specifically St. Luke's people.

I was pretty curious about this too. The last round of mass acceptances according to this forum happened in December, and appeared to happen in waves once a month before that. I interviewed later and am now kind of worried.
 
I called the financial aid office yesterday and the woman there said "sometime in the near future." My roommate also goes to Temple and she said she heard around late March/early April.

Same here. I'm starting to feel like I wasted my money to travel for a waitlist or rejection. But I also think its so odd they continued to send out IIs through March. Why would they do that if they were done sending acceptances? Idk so confused. Can't decide if it's worth calling them and asking
 
I interviewed there mid February and just got a letter placing me on the continued candidates list. Letter is dated 3/12 and I live in pa, so it seems like there was a little delay in them getting sent out. Good luck to you guys waiting to hear!

Ahh I interviewed St. Luke's 2/10 but live in California......I wish they sent emails so I could just find out my status!
 
Could any current students post this year's match list? It'd be interesting to see where everyone is going

you interviewed at St. Lukes?
 
Here is the latest match list for temple. Wide variety of great and ok matches. When you have 200+ students there is going to be some variation. So try not to read into the match list too much.

There's probably a continuing candidates letter sitting in your mailbox based on the results of everyone who interviewed after the new year.
 
Has anyone gotten a confirmation email for the second look day? I RSVPd last week but haven't had any correspondence from the school.

Did your online status change to reflect that?

Does Temple notify you of your rank on the waitlist? Sorry if this question was asked earlier

I emailed them a few months ago, this is what they responded with:

"Hello cmontenegro42,


Thank you for your continued interest in TUSM. Information on the CCL is highly confidential. We do not disclose ranking or the process in which candidates are taken off the list. Please note that, while every year is different; our waitlist typically moves in May. Please inform us of your continued interest during the months of March and April. We do track who from the waitlist has continually expressed interest in Temple. Best of luck!




TUSM Admission"

I'm emailing them my update letter today (to the mdadmiss email address), and will report back on what (if anything) is sent back, and how long it takes.

Edit: Letter was added to my file, and the mdadmiss email replied almost immediately. To me it seems like the best hope for CCL's would be keep showing interest in Temple and give them more stuff that you've been up to/would make you an interesting candidate. This won't be my only correspondence to them...
