Is anyone struggling to access the secondary? I have it completed and went to log in to paste my essays in and complete but when I put in my birth date, it says that I cannot access the account and my e-mail address that I use does not work. I suspect it is because I am a re applicant but I haven't been able to resolve this. I've called a few times and left a voicemail but have yet to hear back. Any help would be appreciated!
I'm struggling with this too. Not sure what to do!
 
Tried to submit my secondary today and I keep getting this error message. Does anyone know if the site is down or s anyone else having a similar issue?
I also kept getting an error message while saving my essays. The essay was not saved and it's the same with different computers/browsers. Not sure which "system administrator" do we contact...

I was able to save my application for 3/4 essays. Whenever I would try to save my application with the second Essay (diversity), that is when it would direct me to the error message

Try removing any spaces between paragraphs in your essays! That is what I did and it got rid of the error message.
 
Does anyone know if not submitting your SAT scores would look bad? If I don't post them will that seem like I'm trying to hide them?
 
Hey, I got a 513 on my mcat and retook it and got a 510 which I understand looks very bad. Its a bummer. Anyone have an insight into if schools will reject me based on this. I feel like I definitely lost my chances now.

Why would you retake a 513? I highly doubt it is an app killer, but they may question why you retook it in the first place.
 
Does anyone know if Temple accepts "in the area" letters? I have another II in Philly and would love to interview here, as well, if lucky enough to be given the opportunity!
 
Submitted secondary on 7/24. Hopefully I’ll get an interview!
 
I wonder why Temple is sending out II's in the godawful hours of the night this year lol. Hope more come in our direction soon!

I wouldn’t mind getting an email from them at anytime of the night, I just want the goddamn II email lol
 
I was complete 8/3 and recently received another interview in the PA area (early October). Do you think it's too early to send an ITA email or should I just shoot my shot? Trying to plan flights now before they get more expensive!
 
I'm going to assume ITA letters won't work if you live half an hour away from the campus right?
 
Does anyone know what day(s) of the week Temple does their interviews on?
 
Submitted secondary 7/24/18 and submitted update today. Hopefully I hear back soon.
 
Is it worth adding this school now with a 503 and 508 MCATs? OOS applicant here with 3.85 GPA
 
Anybody find how to schedule the interview? I have been on the TUportal looking for where to do so all morning

It took a few hours for my portal to be updated with the interview schedule tab (received II at 3 AM, not able to schedule it until 8:30 AM for some reason). There will be a "Interview Schedule" tab underneath the "Next Steps" box

Ready to submit my secondary, but wondering if anybody else only had 1-2 sentences for the "What are your plans for the current year - June 2018 until June 2019?" question. Over the next year, I plan to simply continue working full-time in the medical field to save money for applications, travel, and future medical school expenses. Does that sound bland? I honestly don't have much else to say (except maybe the obvious of spending time with family and friends before med school starts)
