Has anyone here interviewed at St. Lukes? Any medical students here to give insight into how it is. I am excited about my interview on the 14th. Really would like to know as much as possible before heading in. Thanks.

Does anyone know the address for thank you letters? I know they were in the folder but I lost mine and i'm nervous because my interview was more than a week ago. I sent in a hard-copy letter to the admissions office thanking my faculty interviewer but now I'm nervous. Were there email addresses in the folder?

 

[TheBoneDoctah]

I was complete here 8/5 and haven't heard anything from the school.

3.3/31

Why Temple, why? 🙁

Hey guys, just interviewed earlier today and I was wondering how many of you that have already interviewed sent thank you emails to both your faculty and student interviewers? I got the contact info for my faculty interviewer, so I will be emailing him, but my student interviewer was in a bit of a hurry, so asking him for his email slipped my mind. I'm having a hard time finding it anywhere on Temple's website, and I don't want to seem creepy or suck-uppy by hunting his email down and sending him a thank-you. Both interviews went wonderfully, very laid back and informative, and I fell in love with Temple during my interview day, so I'm really hoping for an acceptance here, and if that means asking the admissions committee to forward my thank you to the student, so be it!

Thanks in advance!

Congrats on the interview buddy!

The last few years they have done both email and snailmail on 10/16.

II!! Interviewing December.

Most people from out of town stay in hotels in Center City and take the 15 min subway ride or a 10 min cab ride right down broad street to the school. There aren't really any hotels within walking distance to the school.

Hey guys, received an II today on the status page but didn't get an email for it yet. Apparently you can't sign up for the interview day until the email comes. Anyone know what time in the day they get sent? Also, what are the available dates looking like?

Yes. Trying to come to terms with the fact that we might not hear until tomorrow though

Lol I interviewed the same day as you....feel the same way

I feel like pretty much everyone feels they have great interviews and experiences at this school. Which is great, but makes things scarier.

Well, hopefully a good number of us will be accepted 🙂

And take this with a grain of salt guys: http://www.temple.edu/medicine/admissions/prospective_students/important_dates.htm

Idk how accurate that is, but hopefully today's the day!

I got my emailed interview invite about 48 hours after the status change online. I received my email around 4pm EST.
Congrats on the invite!
