Alright, guys, get off the website and let me start filling this thing out. Inconsiderate people not letting me fill out my secondary.......

 

[JingleChips]

anyone else having trouble with the secondary website loading?

edit: I see above me. and I concur 🙂

 

[Ace Khalifa]

I just got it as well. Too bad I have to work a 9 hr shift for the rest of today. 🙁

 

[hoihaie]

Let me know when you all are done so I can hop on and join the party. Not the best internet connection + Temple's website = less fun than watching paint dry.

+1 can't access. I guess too many people trying to log on at the same time LOL


Someone please post the prompts!

 

[juliuspepperwood]

So slowwww. Can't get past the alumni section to get to any prompts.

Was already done yesterday.

 

[smpbound]

I love this secondary website. You pay $75 and it punishes you for being a douchebag by being super duper slow.

 

[stickshifthonda]

Received too. Too bad I can't actually access anything on it!

 

[Osteoth]

Woo OOS secondary!

 

[Theseus]

At least I got past the Alumni section.

Rub it in... My browser is white and it keeps trying to load. What did they THINK would happen when they gave thousands of people a secondary at once?

 

[DrPotter]

IS, received secondary.

 

[smpbound]

Hey guys. If you switch to google chrome, it works a lot faster.

This is eventually just gonna devolve into the Wall Street high frequency trading scenario, where everyone tries to get closer to the servers to have a faster connection. Brb flying to Philly to bang this secondary out.

 

[kjj17]

Hey guys. If you switch to google chrome, it works a lot faster.

have been using chrome... if this is fast, can't imagine what this is like on other browsers...

 

[MrLogan13]

Man, this web portal is so slow. I don't think their servers have the capacity to handle the amount of traffic they're getting.

 

[stickshifthonda]

Okay so in choosing a clinical campus- they have videos for everything except West Penn Allegheny. Does anybody have experience at WPAHS for the clinical years?

 

[deleted545718]

I've been working on this application since I received it four hours ago, and I haven't gotten past the Dual Degrees page...

EDIT: Annnnd it just kicked me out, not having saved the two pages I had completed. Ugh.

 

[JingleChips]

Finally submitted! I watched a movie while filling out each section because each page took ~15min to load lols

 

[LaceyMD]

I guess it's a good thing they won't be reviewing applications until August 15, as it may take that long to get through the slow-loading pages and submit this one...

In philly, not working any faster page has yet to load to start filling it out.

what were the prompts / character limits?

 

[ccantr10]

Those of you who have already submitted, how long were your essays? 2000 characters, 5000 characters?

 

[JingleChips]

see page 1

I was around ~1000 for each.

 

[stickshifthonda]

Poop just got kicked out.

 

[PreciousHamburgers]

Poop just got kicked out.

Me too. I'm going to do this at work tomorrow...

 

[synapse27]

Good thing they don't have the "what is your most significant achievement" prompt, because I'd be seriously tempted to just write "accessing this website."

 

[PreciousHamburgers]

Oof. This was one of the first secondaries I pre-wrote. It reads like I wrote it in sixth grade... Made lots of edits!

 

[jjtheairplane]

It's funny bc their payment page is quick as ****

 

[ZymurgySurfer]

Is it kosher to just put the Philly campus as all of our picks? I really have no desire to live anywhere else in Pennsylvania

 

[lovereading]

just submitted! Hopefully Temple will show me some love🙂
