Sigh, late to the party. Submitted. OOS, LizzyM~70. Seems like everyone is waiting, so I'll just get in line.
 
Heading to philly next week, would've been nice to have an II here to consolidate trips!

OMG Temple sleep, I ain't trippin Imma let em sleep
I ain't trippin, let em rest in peace

I been in the crib with my phones ON
I been at the house taking alllll calls
I done hit the stride got my head spinnin
In the six crying with the tissue motion

lollll
 
So Temple is a late addition to my AMCAS and I'm filling out the secondary right now and going to submit tonight. I was wondering if anyone has any insight on the different regional campuses. I'm mainly concerned with is the curriculum the same in all 3? I really like St. Luke's but I don't want to put it as my number one if it is tailored toward one thing only. Any insight would be awesome and greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.

someone in my family attends st. luke's and they love it! pretty sure its the same curriculum (1st year is in philly) just smaller class size. i put st. luke's as my #1 choice!
 
"And then I said, of course we'll send out interviews for next year"

Oh god.. I just got off the phone with them. I decided to take up @DoctorInVivo and @catie_jane 's on their dares (who can resist a triple dare). Welp, the lady on the phone asked for my First and Last name, (even made me spell it out and confirm each letter). I was tempted to just hang up but whatever, I went through with it cause she seemed nice. She put me on hold, and after about a minute she told me they were thinking invites would go out 'early October'. I'm not sure if she meant thats when invites would go out or thats when the first interview dates would be. In any case, I think I'm fawked haha

All 3 campuses follow the same curriculum, and all 3 are at main campus for year 1. St. Luke's students are in Bethlehem starting in year 2, but the classes cover the same material as the ones taught at main campus, just with a smaller class size. You won't be sacrificing anything in terms of material/educational opportunities if you go to St. Luke's, so if that's the program that you like best, rank it accordingly.

you should be first in line for a II! putting yourself on the line for the rest of us! ... just sucks you gotta wait till october lol.

maybe instead of rolling they're just gonna review all their apps (or most of them) at once and then send invites and rejections out in october. man the wait..

yea, it's just weird that they've never waited this long in previous years.. 😵

haha. I even thought I was being sneaky by calling from a blocked number, but nope, she asked for my full name lol
 
You are a brave soul @RudyRude

Did their secondaries come out later than last year? Maybe everything is just getting pushed back

Honestly I don't think so if anything it shows you're interested!
 
Last years thread they were interviewing in Sept.

The delayed timeline may be related to the papal visit at the end of this month. Basically, the entire city of Philadelphia is shutting down.

Yeah TU is closed Friday and Monday pope weekend. It's gonna be a mess here.
 
Since it's started...I checked my status and it said "Under Review". Does Temple reject/put you on hold if they choose not to give you an II or are you perpetually under review?
 
I am surprised that they started giving interviews to people in late august first... I am an early September person :nailbiting:

Maybe those getting interviews now are high stats applicants?
