Couple questions: 1) Does Temple accept In the Area requests? I'll be in Philly for an interview at UPenn in January, and if I could knock out Temple in the same week it would save me a lot of stress.
2) If they do, how far away do you have to be for such a request to be reasonable? I live in CT, so it's a 3-4 hour drive, but by no means is it something as costly and time consuming as a plane flight, and it's in the same-ish general area of the country.
3) I haven't written one of these before–how would you format it?
Thanks!

Anyone know how generous this school is when it comesto scholarships?
Bump
What does bump mean?
I don't know whether they're receptive to them or not, but you don't even have to mention how far you live from the school if you send one. I've sent a few, and this is what I said (got this from sdn)
Dear ______ School of Medicine Office of Admissions,
I am currently scheduled to be in the ___ area for an interview during the week of ____ . I understand that you only interview a limited number of qualified applicants, and that many interview spots may be already filled. However, if I am fortunate enough to currently be under consideration for an interview at ______, I was wondering if it would be possible to schedule it in that general time frame to avoid the cost of multiple trips to the area, as well as to minimize time spent away from school.
I realize that this is relatively short notice and if I am not able to interview at this time, if necessary, I would be happy and honored to travel to _____in the future.
Thank you for your help and consideration.
Sincerely,
_____
hope this helps!

basically "yo, I wanna know the answer to this still" when no one has replied to something
Did you get any interview offers from doing this? Haha I'd be afraid they'd reject me right away
I Have tried this when i had to travel for real. Coming from California so makes sense to want to have ONE trip.
I got one rejection as a result and nothing else.
Dead beat silence.
You are going to love it. Its a truly amazing school that talks the talk and walk the walk when it comes to serving the undeserved . Their commitment to service really blew me away.
It stands for "bring up my post". In order to get more attention, online forums sometimes allow users to "bump" threads that have moved to the second page. This brings the post back to the top of the first page. So, essentially:
Has anyone made a facebook group for accepted students yet?
Please come to me!
Just kidding!
Thanks for withdrawing early and best of luck to you!
Did anyone get the continuing candidate status post-ii? If u did would anyone PM me?

Yes. I believe you can email them to the admissions email address.

Currently have an interview at St. Luke's scheduled for January 17 but it's not a convenient date for me so I am thinking of rescheduling. I called admissions and was told that interviewing later would not affect my chances of getting accepted, but I'm a bit skeptical because they do rolling admissions...any advice?
Hi Everyone,
Just made a Facebook group--hope this is helpful!
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1625570607747275/
Have you heard back yet?
I haven't. I actually called admissions and asked about it. They said that they were slow with some people this year and that it was not a reflection of my application. Hope that can provide some peace of mind!
on what days does the adcom send out acceptance notices? Thanks
What are the short exercises in the Clinical Skills Center during the interview like? I've never had an experience like this at my other interviews. Thanks!
If u had a exam and u skipped a class would u let your professor know why u skipped the class? ? That's start of stupid simple question

Does Temple send out rejection emails if they are no longer considering your application? I haven't heard anything back yet so I'm happy I haven't been rejected...but just curious about how they reject applicants who they are not inviting for an interview?

Stay strong! I thought I had been silently rejected, but I just received an II a week ago so there's always hope!
Thanks so much! I am staying optimistic but I was curious if they send email rejections or wait until later in the cycle... I figure that if I haven't been a rejected then that must mean they're still considering me. Glad to hear interview invites are still going out. Fingers crossed! Congratulations on your interview and good luck!
Thanks!

Can anyone who interviewed at St. Luke's tell me what it was like? How many other interviewees were there and what was the day like overall?
Pm me!
How did you all update your grades on the portal? Like did you write it in a word document or just upload your new transcript? Thanks!
I uploaded my new transcript but I'm not sure if that's the "right" way to do it or not.
