Honors,Pass/Fail and they rank
I was told it will be released before traffic day and should expect it to go out in mid April
Second look is on March 31st. They sent an email out this past friday.
hold tight friend, alot of people might withdraw after traffic day which will free up some space for more interviews. (just make plans for a next cycle if it comes to that)
I'm not sure if anyone knows the answer to these questions but when is traffic day? And will temple give financial aid packages before this infamous traffic day?

Traffic day is April 30th and yes Temple does give out packages before then which is great!
I found out about 7 weeks after my interview. I also interviewed in December so idk how the holidays impacted when I heard back. I was notified via email at about 10pm. Idk if they always send the email late but that's when I got mine. Hope this helps
I interviewed at st. lukes, but got an email around 4 in the afternoon about 4 and a half weeks after my interview
II this morning. Sent one update 2 months ago.
Awesome, CONGRATS! What are your stats-- if you don't mind?
Accepted today via email. Interviewed 2/7. Non-trad, LM~62. Best of luck to everyone!
Congratulations!
Congrats that's awesome!!! Did you interview at main campus?

Anyone planning on going to second look? Can't wait to meet future classmates!
Yep! And thanks 🙂
+1 interviewed 2/2, still waiting to hear back too
I interviewed 2/10 and also waiting to hear back
Ccl... the letter is a tease and a cruel joke congratulating me on their waitlist position. 5 waitlists now, 3 pending decisions this week. Life h8s me if I get more waitlists from these next 3. That will sting.
...
WOW! congrats!
Also interviewed 2/2 and haven't heard anything

Interviewed 2/10 and still haven't heard back
Did they give you a date you should be expecting?
I believe they said within 5 weeks, so I was on pins and needles at the beginning of March
It's been nearly five weeks for me, still no word from them
Just an FYI. Temple was closed yesterday due to snow. Now I guess they have to reschedule all of the interviews that were supposed to be yesterday, and deal with match on friday. I'm guessing they're pretty busy and word probably won't go out this week for you all 🙁
Oh wow, that's unfortunate, but thanks for the heads-up
It's pretty clear that they don't stick to their timeline. They told my group 4-6 weeks, and it will be 6 weeks tomorrow. I had another school say at the beginning of the cycle that their screening process is 2-3 months - I got an interview 7 months after secondary submission. It's pretty disrespectful to us to tell us a specific timeline and then completely disregard it, considering we spent so much time and money applying to their school in the first place. Can't wait till this process is over...

I agree with this (although I have not had that experience with Temple). I interviewed at one school where they said I would hear back within the month, and it has now been 3 months. The one time I called the office to check on the status of my application, they were rude and told me to just be patient. I don't have a problem with decisions taking 3 months, I just have a problem with telling me one thing and then actually doing another. It means an enormous amount of stress and mental strain for me, when they could just be honest about it in the first place. So frustrating.

I just got modified again earlier today.
Same here, no clue what that means at this point !
Where do you specifically check if you've been changed?
I wished they stopped playing.
It's under the Apply Online tab once you log in.
II just now, but will be declining! Complete in the mid-summer. Hope it goes out to one of you!
