No of course not! I was complete 8/02
Same! I was complete 7/1
I hope not
We'll see!I hope not
Can you give me an idea of what the two interviews are like? My impression is that they're more relaxed/conversational. How did you prepare?
Review the basic questions. I felt it was def. Conversational but I thought the open file one was a bit harder because my interviewer didn't seem interested at all. So it's the luck of the draw I guess. The 3Rd activity will seem intimidating but just have fun with it, basically just having a convo .
Has anyone interviewed at the Bethlehem Campus?

Mine was 9 including me, seems they like small groups as opposed to some other schools I've seen
Which campus?
Congratulations !
Thanks, and Good luck to ALL !
I interviewed 9/15 and I havent heard anything from them yet. What is that about?
I also interviewed in mid September and haven't heard anything back either. Kinda thinking this means a waitlist or rejection because I haven't seen them give any of those out post-interview yet. Still crossing my fingers for an acceptance though because I really loved Temple.
They must've loved you!!

Does anyone know if Temple is receptive to ITA emails? I'll be in Philly for another interview and would love to interview there too!
They haven't specified yet. This is all I have received, waiting on the snail mail now.
"Congratulations!!!
On behalf of the Admissions Committee, we are pleased to welcome you to the Class of 2021 at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University.

Congratulations again and welcome to the Temple family!"
Hey! Could you tell me where on the portal we can submit update letters? Thanks!!
I heard somewhere Temple is switching to a Pass/Fail system is this true ? And will it have internal rankings ?
Interviewed on September 22nd and am dying to hear back. Favorite interview so far!
I feel like this is what they told us during our tour on interview day but I can't remember exactly
Hmmm I want to know. I wonder if its P/F does it have internal ranking or a real Pass/Fail.Interviewed on September 22nd and am dying to hear back. Favorite interview so far!

How do you withdraw your app?
Email them and say "f*** off"
That should do the trick

I was complete 7/8!
Yep, it is switching to P/F next year, and they might actually switch it midway through this year between blocks. It's currently H (92% and above)/P/F.
Keep in mind though that when they write your MSPE evaluations, they use a specific adjective (Outstanding, Excellent, very good) based on your class rank, which is based on your percentage grade in each block. 3rd year is worth 50% of calculating your class rank and 25% each for 1st and 2nd year.
Thanks for answering my question, so it's not a true pass fail because the school uses internal rankings. .. that's a negative but I still love this school
When did you interview? I haven't heard anything from Temple and I'm worried my continuing consideration or rejection letter just hasn't been sent yet.

Interviewed 9/22 and thought I crushed it. It might just be that your interviewer hasn't presented you at the admissions committee meeting yet. At least that's what I was told. When did you interview?
Did anyone else get a new item listed under Supplemental Items for "LKSOM Photo"? I'm post interview, waiting for a response and just saw it.
Congratulations to those with II! Out of curiosity, where are they at in terms of dates for interviews?
I'm in the same situation as well. No idea if it means anything or not.
Same boat, though wasn't this always an option?
44.9% acceptance rate after interview: 1076 interviewed; 483 accepted; 205 enrolled
Any idea on the % of the class that comes off the continuing applicant list?
Unfortunately not 🙁
