They said at my interview that they do reject people post-interview, but I'm guessing it's not that many.
They are and they aren't. They're officially as a "state-related" private institution. They receive some money from the state, but are legally treated as a private institution.

Posting this for a friend, her status just changed to "under review" on her portal. She received II and submitted it August 1. She and I both know that this process takes awhile, but can anyone tell me how long it took to hear back from Temple after their status changed to "under review"? Thanks in advance!
from what some people have posted they are still under review after submitting in July.....
I know that you guys aren't allowed to reveal much about the interview but how do you think I should prepare? How many interviewers are there and are they faculty/staff/student?
Thanks
Thanks
I'm not sure if the main campus does this since I interviewed at St. Luke's, but I got an email before my interview date that gave a detailed description of what to expect for the day. You have two one-on-one interviews with physicians (one closed, one open file) and a clinical skills portion which is described in the email.
Just be yourself and know how to maintain a conversation/be a people person (I know this sounds weird but you'll understand when you do the clinical skills part) and you'll be fine!

did anyone make a facebook page for class of 2020?
Can current students comment on their time at Temple?
So no one beyond mid-November interview dates has heard back? Does the committee just meet once a month?
Any recent acceptances from temple?
Wondering the same thing!
Withdrew my interview today. Good luck to the rest of yall
How were you notified of your acceptance?

Anyone know how late temple sends IIs? Just wondering before I scour past threads lol
My best friend got an interview invite last year on March 1st
You're doing Gods work son
E-Mail and then snail mail envelope later
Has Temple sent out pre-II rejections or does the status stay at "under review" for all of eternity?
Does the portal status change come before the acceptance/rejection/waitlist email or after?
Mind sharing stats? IS or OOS?
Edited it in!
I'm asking for my friend, when did your application go under review?
I was gonna say I still had hope. Based on those stats -- I guess I'll just keep quiet for another month. Congrats though!
I'm not sure, sorry!
If this school averages mcat scores, then it's more like a 33 for me. Thanks and don't lose hope! I'm sure they are still handing interviews out, there were plenty of dates to choose from.

Also they currently have interview slots open through Feb 19 so they're def expecting people to schedule interviews within 15-20 days after receiving the invite
Can anyone comment on the combined MD/MA in Urban Bioethics? I am considering this but when I went to interview none of my student tour guides were in the dual degree program.
Congrats! Complete date?
Thank you! Complete sometime mid-late August
Time for another episode of Officer Farva's interview reviews (I interviewed here my first cycle in 2014-2015 so what I say may be inaccurate for current interviewees):
I love Philly, I don't love North Philly. Beautiful campus. Ok research, but the faculty and students did not seem to care much about those opportunities. Very nice faculty interview. My student interview basically called me a bad fit because I am a research geek with 0 non-clinical volunteering (Then why waste my time inviting me?).
Grade: B

If this is your first year interviewing, don't give up so quickly.
oh had no idea they were strong for non-clinical volunteering (0 hours hence no II i guess)
Anyone from mid/late November interviews hear back yet?
Did your temple portal change before/after the e-mail?
Ditto 🙁
edit: You know what though, honestly on MSAR the percent of marticulants with non-clinical volunteering is not actually very different from most other schools

I called the office not too long ago and they said they send rejection notices throughout the cycle, but no one has reported a rejection in this thread as far as I know.
The website's wording suggests that they send rejections at the end of the cycle only though.
I interviewed at St. Luke's on January 5th.
Anyone hear anything?

Does anyone remember how long temple suggested they would take before making a decision?
