Did you guys receive a complete email or does complete = the day you submitted your secondary?

I never received a complete email. I got email verification of my payment when I submitted my secondary, and an email inviting me to interview. @PugsAndHugs
Check my MDapps. Didn't include EC info, but I'd like to think they're pretty strong/unique.
I never got a complete email, I know that I submitted it the first week of august though.
What were the available interview dates @rudyin78 and @mattman20 ? Seeing as how you are probably the first wave of invites
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays - Sept. 29th to October 15th
Mine only gives me the option for September 29th. Is that happening to anyone else?
Using the mobile app you can't see the MDapplicants link to my knowledge. Attached is a picture of what I'm able to see. Which is why I asked for his stats 🙂

Temple's 10th % is a 29. Meaning 10% of accepted students have a 29 or below.
Congrats! Did they mention which program(s) you're interviewing for?
Thank you! My invitation did not specify for which program I am interviewing. It only told me where to meet on interview and a short description of the day's itinerary.
Not sure how long it's been like that, but my status is "under review". Complete 9/12

First of all, congrats to all of you with II's so far!!
To clarify for those who have asked, the only students interviewing for a specific program will be those who are interviewing at St. Luke's. If you are interviewing at St. Luke's, you will be evaluated by a different committee than those interviewing at main campus, so you are interviewing for that specific program.
If your interview is at main campus, you could be placed at main campus or Geisinger. You will find out your clinical campus after you are admitted (this year, assignments went out over the summer).

Do you know anything else about the St. Luke's program? Is their decision process separate from the main Temple campus?

Temple accidentally sent me an II for main campus instead of St. Luke's. They said they would sent me the info for a St. Luke's interview on Monday, but what days do they have available for it? I've gotta try and schedule a couple interviews on Monday and gotta try and adjust around/with my work schedule.
Also, I would imagine the process is separate because there are only so many spots available at each campus.

Do they vary in competitiveness then?
I don't think so. The stats for admitted students at main campus vs. St. Luke's are essentially equal.
Are there any St. Luke's students willing to comment on the program?
what are your stats?
Not sure exactly when it changed within the past few days but went from "verified" to "under review" on my portal
We had the same problem with the website last year. I cannot for the life of me remember which browser I was using at the time (probably Chrome), but I remember I switched to another and it worked just fine.

Is this for after an II? I did the secondary a while ago but can't remember uploading a picture lol
So for those with new MCATs, is there any way to confirm they received our jpg files?
Dang, I just tried it, but it didn't work in my other browsers either 🙁 I just saw their message that Macs have issues, so I'm going to try it on a PC later and keep the browser issue in mind. Thanks for the advice!
Yeah this is for an II. After you pick your date they ask you to upload your picture, but apparently their portal doesn't like Macs lol
ha ok, I was like uhhhh crap did I forget something on the secondary lol.. good luck in the interview!
3.4 GPA as an Aerospace Engineering undergrad
32 MCAT
I've had nightmares about forgetting to send something or missing flights, so I totally know what you mean haha Thanks and good luck on your interviews too! 🙂
thanks!
yep same
Me too
Complete?
When are they being scheduled for?
8/10!
No idea yet, I can't schedule an interview yet as the official email hasn't come through just yet. I'll report back once that's in (either tomorrow or Thursday).
Obviously October, I'm guessing. Pope arrives here soon.
