Jefferson sent me the same one! Weirdly worded and misleading lol.“We are pleased to inform you.. that you are on the continuing candidates list. Congratulations on your placement!”
LOL I’ve never seen such a congratulatory email for a waitlist. When I read the first few words I was sure it was an acceptance. Anyway I interviewed mid October, OOS.
That means you applied and were admitted to the Philly campus. EDIT: You may be able to change it if you preferred St. Luke's in Bethlehem but there was an option before submitting the secondary which asked about this. "Hey can someone explain what my acceptance being "Temple and affiliates" means? Like can I choose a campus? It doesn't directly say in mine how am I suppose to know?
Oh okay, thankyou I just thought in the acceptance message it was explicitly referring to Philly guess I'm a little slow haha. Thank you.That means you applied and were admitted to the Philly campus.

- Students who wish to remain in the Philadelphia region for the majority of their clinical training in the third and fourth years should select Temple University Health System and affiliates."
Not too slow to get that A 😉 lol congratsOh okay, thankyou I just thought in the acceptance message it was explicitly referring to Philly guess I'm a little slow haha. Thank you.
i hope one of them shows you some love 🙏Got waitlisted at all my top choices: GW, Temple, Loyola.. I have a feeling its just my MCAT score. I have a ton of extracurriculars, good LOR, and a 4.0 GPA but a 504 MCAT score. Dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer and I was the only person working at the time. I have not been able to take a moment to even think about retaking it, working full time in an NIH lab... a bit disappointed since I feel like I put my heart and soul into this application but one day really messed up my chances
I’ve been complete since mid July and silence^ also haven't heard back complete the same time
Thoughts on not hearing back since completed secondary early sept?
^ also haven't heard back complete the same time

Thank you so much ❤️i hope one of them shows you some love 🙏
Take the written prompt seriously. Approach it genuinely and with candor!any tips for the interview?
Application was complete in late August, but haven't heard a word from Temple after my secondary was submitted...any advice on whether to contact the Admissions office?
Hey hey! I'm also an NIH postbacc, nice to see a "neighbor" in the thread. Don't give up hope--I know the application process can be incredibly disheartening. I commend your resilience when faced with your father's illness, and you clearly have drive and intelligence to achieve a 4.0 gpa while also balancing many extracurriculars. You will become a doctor, and a great one at that. Cherish the present and your time at NIH, continue to work hard for your goals, and give yourself the same empathy that you give those you love. You got this.Got waitlisted at all my top choices: GW, Temple, Loyola.. I have a feeling its just my MCAT score. I have a ton of extracurriculars, good LOR, and a 4.0 GPA but a 504 MCAT score.

I second this !Any current students here participating in the MA in Urban Bioethics program? I would love to connect and learn more about your experiences!
How did you send your update?Are they still interviewing? I sent in an update last week
Hey, I just emailed them directly to my interviewers. They provided me with their emails.This has probably been asked a million times so I apologize in advance, but what is LKSOM's policy on 'thank you' letters? Do they accept them, and if so, do we upload to the portal? (EDIT: I forgot to ask and don't remember if they mentioned it during the info sessions... I was v nervous lol)
Oh noooo I forgot to ask for their emails :'( Aw man... I know it's not the end of the world but I had a pretty good connection with one of my interviewers, so I'm p bummed I forgot to prompt for an email...Hey, I just emailed them directly to my interviewers. They provided me with their emails.
