Does temple accept application updates? If so how do I submit it?

It's through the supplemental page

It's through the supplemental page

thanks! do I just upload a word document?

 

[dreambigbuckeyevet]

Congrats!! When were you complete?

long time ago. Probably in July lol

 

[dr.batman]

thanks! do I just upload a word document?

I did PDF, personally cause that's what most schools ask. I can't remember specifically if they accept word or if they only want PDF.

Please, Temple. I BEG. Bless me with a 3 AM II tonight

anyone who interviewed here remember what day in december they told us we should hear back on?

during my interview day they said first week of December. Others have said second week of December. Seems time will tell

Just mark it for the end of December and then you will get a nice surprise early in the month (or get off to an unexpectedly bad start)

i think they told my group the first week as well but idk. I guess itll just come as a pleasant/unpleasant surprise lol

 

[MedScat]

To add to this, does anyone know if Temple does interviews the week of Thanksgiving? I'll be there then and considering sending an ITA

Yes, they interview the week of thanksgiving. I believe they are only interviewing on 1 or 2 days the week though

I know this is going out on a whim-- but the application deadline is December 15th. I am considering submitting now, I know the odds are entirely against me but do we think there is any possibility my application could make it in the pile? Or not worth it

I mean shoot your shot but they consistently are in the top 10 list for schools with the most applicants. If you have the $ and feel like it would be a great fit, go for it, but know it's late

I second what limeyguydr is saying! Temple doesn't seem to have scheduled interviews all the way out to March like some schools (looking at you Tulane) so you might have a chance!

On the other hand, just because Temple is one of the few schools that gets over 10k applicants/year, it could be wiser to apply to another school that also has a late deadline but has fewer applicants per year on average. What I'm saying is that there might be more suitable last-minute additions.

I'm in complete agreement. Feel free to DM me @aussie2016 and I can try to help

Pleasantly surprised by an II this morning!

I was complete 8/4 so there's still hope for you early folks - the scheduling window I got for interviews was for early/mid-December

Congrats! And I hope so I was complete 7/26 lol.

I mean they still have lots of interview slots available so it's totally possible!

possibly a dumb question but is there another portal to check your application status other than where you can view your secondary app?

 

[Porpoiseman12345]

Yes but only after you've been invited to an interview, they send you a code and a link to sign up

 

[cheerio0624]

Anyone hear back yet?

 

[bearboi]

seems this will be a long week or two weeks...

 

[deleted987519]

I see last year they heard back Wednesday the first week of December so here's hoping not too much longer...

Uh oh

 

[bearboi]

me refreshing my portal knowing it probably won't change today

 

[deleted1001426]

Do we know if decisions will be posted on the initial applicant portal or the one that we used to schedule IIs?

 

[A girl has no name]

Last year, they were released on TU portal.

 

[deleted987519]

Last year, they were released on TU portal.

No email?

 

[malmed1025]

They said all decisions will go out via email this year. But email is a tad slower than the portal

 

[deleted1001426]

i almost feel fortunate that I lost my login info for the TU portal when i got a new laptop so I cant neurotically check for a status update even if I wanted to. Transferred over everything besides this because I forgot there was a second login lol

 

[malmed1025]

What’s the time gap you’ve noticed? I avoid checking school portals at all costs to stay sane, but if it’s anything more than several hours I should probably put that on the radar

Less than an hour if they can help it. I'm planning on relying on SDN to tell me when it's ready lol

 

[deleted1001426]

that's usually my go to. i only start to look if someone else from my interview date reports hearing back. Plus I think temple typically notifies you of admissions offers via phone call but I could be mistaken

 

[Medstudent65]

Anyone know if the Bethlehem folks will be notified at the same time as the Philly folks?

 

[deleted969405]

A

 

[DevinBookerMD]

A

congrats! portal or email?

 

[DevinBookerMD]

anybody else?

 

[jewel98]

anybody else?

nope that scared me and now keep obsessively checking lol

 

[Medstudent65]

Is that guy trolling us???

 

[cheerio0624]

nope that scared me and now keep obsessively checking lol

I really don’t think they sent them out yet. I think it’s going to be tomorrow morning. Maybe that person had a glitch in their portal so they could see early.

 

[deleted987519]

Check your portals at 3 am

 

[Cakepop514]

Check your portals at 3 am

but really

The third email I’ve gotten from temple today being an alum and my heart races every single time...

 

[cheerio0624]

just curious why the morning? did they say something about it?

I looked at last year’s thread. It came out early Wednesday morning.

I so wish you never said this lol. There I was thinking I’d finally fix my sleep schedule tonight but now I’m going to be up until Thursday refreshing my email

 

[kwabena]

As early as 3am?

 

[eolakunle]

Why am I up checking the TU portal right now‍♀️.

 

[XKEJUN246]

I’m pretty sure at my interview date they said decisions would be released the 2nd week of December... so I believe everyone can chill for another week

 

[bearboi]

I’m pretty sure at my interview date they said decisions would be released the 2nd week of December... so I believe everyone can chill for another week

the problem is they told my interview date (late October) we'd hear back the 1st week of December...

 

[H2P13]

I’m pretty sure at my interview date they said decisions would be released the 2nd week of December... so I believe everyone can chill for another week

I was also told this(i interview in the first two weeks of September), but it seems a lot of interviews since then were told first week

 

[jewel98]

I interviewed 9/25 and they told us first week of december

med school applicant: “there is absolutely nothing that could make this process more anxiety inducing”

temple adcomms: hold my coffee

 

[deleted1001426]

Y’all got more specific info than I did lol. I was told we would hear back “after thanksgiving”
