When were you complete?

 

[Jappa]

When were you complete?

7/9 lol

 

[IJustWannaDoc]

Has anyone seen movement from the wait list yet?

 

[mds103]

When in April should you expect to hear from St. Lukes if you interviewed in Feb? I'm nervous

 

[burntchorizo]

Has anyone seen movement from the wait list yet?

There were several people on this thread who were placed on the CC list in December who got accepted off it in February. There might be a little more movement in early April but I think most of it will happen after April 30.

 

[Eagle529]

Does anyone know how useful the second look day is for St. Luke's students - from the email it sounded like it was all at the Philadelphia campus

 

[FatherTime-PhD]

Anyone know if temple is good w aid? Need based or merit?

Complete back in July! No updates

 

[chronicangina]

I read somewhere that the interview includes a writing activity. For anyone that has already gone on an interview there, is this true and what is it?

Yes it is true, and there is no need to worry about it!

 

[maryidafrancis]

do we know when in april the admissions committee will be meeting next?

 

[Medschoolbelle]

When did they say they would have the third meeting

Yes it is true, and there is no need to worry about it!

It's basically a CASPer scenario. They give you plenty of time to answer it.

 

[mon9937]

Still confused with the language of the continuing candidacy list. I interviewed in November and was placed on the list in December. I plan on sending an LOI/update once the clock turns to 12 on April 1st.

In the email it says "We realize that you are anxiously awaiting our final letter of selection, and that this anxiety may increase as the interval lengthens between the interview and an eventual acceptance."

Is this the same language used for others? Does this mean that I will be accepted eventually before the first day of classes? I looked in this thread and last year's and I didn't come across an answer.

Sorry to burst your bubble but I think that is the same language used in the email sent to all continuing candidates. Everything in that email made it sound as though the waitlist was a GREAT place to be stuck in

 

[SweetBurger]

No bubble was burst, hence why I asked in the first place. I wasn't sure if temple differentiated between high priority waitlisters versus regular like some other schools. I don't really understand the decision to use that language for all people waitlisted since it's nearly impossible for there to be movement for everyone. It seems unfair to give that positive expectation to all candidates on the ccl on their end.

At least it didn't start with "Congratulations! You have been selected as an alternate for the class....." that one still gets me. it's fine i like emotional rollercoasters

 

[osmosisjones]

Does anyone know how LKSOM feels about Letters of Intent?

At my interview they said that they're helpful

 

[user124]

I sent a letter of intent to the Bethlehem campus last week. However, I never received a confirmation email saying it was received. Did you guys get a response after sending an LOI?

 

[SweetBurger]

At my interview they said that they're helpful

i have no useful input but your username is kinda legendary imo

Interviewed last week and from what I remember, they said they were doing like three total waves with the most recent one going out in either Jan/Feb so you likely wouldn't have been reviewed by then...as another member said above, next wave is supposedly in early April

 

[GrantedHome]

VA to Stop GI Bill Benefits at 5 Colleges

The schools were found to be engaging in deceptive marketing practices.

www.military.com

Pertinent information for anyone depending on these benefits. I personally was still waiting to hear back from here, but not having access to these funds is a deal breaker.

I hate this, so much lol

 

[ABathingWombat]

Are there II left lol. I know it’s super late I’m just surprised I didn’t get hit by the recent R wave.

 

[ABathingWombat]

When were you complete? I am in the same boat.

Super late lmao. I literally forgot to submit their secondary. I don’t think that would matter this late into the cycle though, they should have had time to review everyone by now. Idk tho

 

[SW8S]

My fingers are crossed for a few more II. I was complete in mid September.

 

[scorpion2020]

When I got my II last week there was a few more slots in March. Might have changed by now or possible cancelation from COVID-19

II received yesterday (24th and 25th were the only dates available). No cancelation due to COVID-19, but 2 of my second looks have been canceled.

 

[Chromium Surfer]

Pre II R a couple days ago. Good luck to all still in the running! 🙂

 

[grayfoxgrarnir]

Sad because I currently live in Philly.

 

[scorpion2020]

I interviewed today. In the middle of our groupie lunch, the tour guide got an email saying all first/second year classes were going virtual even mandatory sessions. I’m curious to see how it will affect 24th and 25th March interviews.

 

[shot_wasabi]

Has anyone called to ask if they’re planning to cancel second look?

Interviews next week changing to online interview. Sucks but I understand why. Was looking forward to visiting Philly.

edit: On the plus side, I will no longer be wearing pants while being interviewed, so who's the real winner here, Temple?

[Porpoiseman12345]

Why do they invite people that applied to Philly to interview at St. Luke's? Does anyone know?

 

[FuturePedsDoc1993]

If they run out of space at the philly campus but like you enough to want you at the regional campus?
