Med School Insiders
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I think I will be going here! Ive submitted my deposit and have withdrawn several other acceptances because Temple seems like the right place for me. Anyone else accepting the acceptance? Lets chat!!!
 
So I added Temple last minute, and am just now finishing the secondary. Did anyone use all 2000 characters for the first choice of campus question? I'm at half that and have nothing more to say....

I did but I definitely wouldn't say you have to. I would rather read a concise 1000 characters if the next 1000 characters are just gonna be fluff!
 
I wonder how long it takes for the portal to be updated once the committee reviews the post-interview application....

Any interview advice? I am preparing for the expected questions but haven't found much else to go off of. I've read to be prepared for an interesting clinical section.

I just received an interview invite for the St. Luke's campus! (IS, LM: 71)

Has anyone been to an interview at St. Luke's yet this cycle? Any advice? What are the simulation activities like?

Congrats on the II! Both interviews were conversational. The simulation activities weren't bad, either. Just follow the instructions they give you, and you should be fine.

I think it should be in the next steps section. I interviewed early October and haven't heard back either! But I think they said it would take at least 4 weeks?

Were you main campus or St Lukes?
 
I interviewed on the first day and still haven’t had any news

1. The curriculum has changed for this year based on previous year feedback from students. They shifted some of the blocks and streamlined what we are taught but otherwise I haven't noticed many changes.
2. There are at least a dozen service groups at Philly campus. You will be required do to service work during your first two years. And yes, there is a student run clinic right on campus.
3. During the first year you will be bombarded with emails from various PIs looking for medical students for research, ranging from basic to clinical. If you reach out to any faculty and want to do research, they will be happy to help you. Also, I think there were two MD/PHD students in our class.
4. Yes, lectures are recorded and posted on student website.
5. That may depend on the class, but so far my class has been extremely collaborative. We tend to look out for each other and share information. ut if you mean if the curriculum is structured for collaborative work, then yes. Starting the first week, students are assigned into groups and they work as a group for the next two years.All of our workshops require team effort and are graded based on group effort.

I'm planning on updating early next week. Two new volunteering activities in the Philadelphia area. (Local campaign and substance use disorder service organization in the North Philadelphia area) If I have luck, I'll let you know!

Thank you. Interviewed yesterday and everything you said was true. I had a great day. Maria was so nice, the students were helpful and honest, and the faculty I met were kind and super conversational. It was a great day!
 
Rejected less than four weeks post-interview ... on my birthday. Thought my interview went great 😕
Good luck everyone!

When did you interview if you don’t mind me asking? And how’d you think the simulation portion went? I feel good about my interviews but not the simulation

Early October. I felt they were awkward but who wouldn't?? I asked relevant questions for the allotted time and did what I could, didn't act like a freak. I don't know, I thought the rest of the interview day went so well.

no ):
 
Hi everyone. I am an M4 at Temple. I have some free time while I am traveling for residency interviews and I would be happy to answer any questions that you guys have. I will try to be as unbiased as possible but I really do love Temple and think it's the best :happy:.
 
Im interviewing on next Tuesday, is anyone willing to pm me how the day went and advice? Congrats to everyone accepted!
 
If I was invited to interview at St. Lukes does that mean I’m being considered specifically for the program there, or does the regional campus not make a difference yet?

At my interview at St. Luke’s, we were told that we are specifically considered for that campus.
 
How have acceptances been delivered so far? Email or call?
