Secondary sent end of July, still heard nothing.
Thank you! It worked!
Just got an II from here! Incredibly excited! Scheduling on their portal did not work for me though, so I had to call them
Congrats!!!!
do you mind checking your portal to see when you were last modified?
I know everyone has been advising us not to read too much into these things, but my neurotic pre-med brain can't help it!
Thank you! And it was last modified 8/15/2016 -- I'm pretty sure it has doesn't mean anything. Good luck to you!!
This gives me a little hope! Mine was last modified 8/15/2016, so I assumed it was just dead but I guess it's not really over 'til it's over!
Thank you very much!
when were you complete?
Late July

I received an II yesterday after being complete at the end of July
Can anyone who has interviewed give me an idea of how many other applicants were present on your interview day?
At mine there were eight including me
Oh cool, I was expecting a bit more. I wonder if there are more people per interview as the season goes on
Congrats! Stats? IS?
Thanks! OOS, LizzyM ~70

Congrats!
What dates were available?
Literally only November 15th
II this morning! LM 75, complete 7/6. However, I am unable to schedule an interview on the calendar. It says the day is filled whenever I click "schedule interview", but it still shows as an option when I refresh the page. Has anyone had a similar problem? I called, but nobody is working on a Saturday.
Anyone that has interviewed remember how many weeks they said for a decision? The website just says several...
I don't think the "date modified" thing means anything significant. I was complete early July, no modification changes, and got an II this weekend.
I'm betting it just means somebody downloaded the file again.
I never said that or anything near it.

I'm not trying to be rude but more curious for myself.
Is there anywhere that turns you away if you bring luggage?
Yes there is a room where you can put luggage right beside the wonderful secretary who helps you along your day. This is a amazing school, I hope you love it.
Just a heads up for anyone who might have interviews this week: SEPTA, the public transportation system, is currently on strike. Uber or Lyft will be your best means of getting to your interview. I would hate for anyone to be late because they were relying on the subway and not realize this!
where can you find a "date modified"? I don't see that at all on my portal
Top right corner, click "apply online"
I don't remember the exact details, but I think they said that they were trying to release decisions in larger batches so that they could be sure they had everyone's committee member present to represent them. They might be trying to have meetings once a month, so I'm not really expecting to hear back for another couple of weeks, since the first batch obviously went out on October 17th. But honestly, I can't even be sure that I'm remembering it right.

They said ~4-6 weeks and that the committee meets once a month on a Friday at my interview!

Hi, I have: Status = Completed; Modified on - 10/13/2016 ( I actually submitted on 10/9).
But I did not get any "Application Received" OR "Application Complete" emails.
Is that normal ?
Regards,
Yes
Where do you see you status? I checked the supplemental website and it shows me 1. Create a profile 2. Start application 3.Complete an application 4. Submit supplemental items with dates next to them. Is this what you're looking at?
apply online link i think
Thanks! I see it
PLEASE Temple, just love me? 
Complete 6/30 & no love.
